Óbidos, Nazaré, Alcobaça & Fátima

Tour Description

This West Region tour allows you to visit the patrimonial “masterpieces” of Portugal. Included in this tour is a visit to Fátima, the religious capital of Portugal, and an essential place to visit for many people. (However, if religion is not of interest, you may choose to visit both Batalha instead.)

Start the day with a visit to Fátima and its Sanctuary, the site where Our Lady of Fátima appeared in 1917. Since then, millions of pilgrims go there to pay their respects, to pray or just to feel its mystical strength! The Sanctuary Square is so big that it can only be described by numbers: it can receive simultaneously 300,000 visitors, and it's twice the size of St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican.

From Fátima, you will visit the famous 12th century monastery in Alcobaça. This monastery is not only a beautiful architectural example, but it has also monuments in memory of King D. Pedro I and D. Inês de Castro (characters of a true romantic Portuguese story from the 14th century, very similar to “Romeo and Juliet”) made of magnificent stone handwork. For the lunch break, the fishing village of Nazaré will come as the perfect spot, since the fresh grilled fish and amazing views of the ocean should be enough to re-energize you until the end of the day. The last stop of the tour will be in Óbidos, a magnificent medieval town, which you will explore on foot, with a guide (more details about Óbidos here).
