The Experience
The drive from Lisbon takes about an hour and twenty minutes in a climate-controlled car. Your driver explains the history of the apparitions as you travel, so the context arrives before you do. Once at the sanctuary, you have time to attend mass if you wish—the tour is built around that possibility, not around rushing past it.
The itinerary moves through the sites in sequence: the Fatima Shrine where the three children first saw the apparition of Our Lady; the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary; the Chapel of Apparitions, where the first apparition took place on May 13, 1917; and the Church of the Holy Trinity. The basilica also holds the tombs of the three shepherd children. After lunch (which you arrange separately), you visit the humble houses where Jacinta and Francisco lived and where Lucia later lived as a nun. The tour also includes the site of the second appearance of the Angel of Peace and the Church of the Holy Trinity, the newest and largest church in Fátima.
The full day runs seven hours from pickup to return. Your driver speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese—choose your language when you book. The car carries bottled water and WiFi, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children. All surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and service animals are welcome.
