Itinerary

We meet at the airport at 12.45pm for our Ryanair flight to Lisbon departing at 3.15pm and arriving at 5.45pm. Then, we will make our way to Fatima.

Breakfast will be followed by a familiarization walk with the tour leader. The small village of Fatima has been permanently associated with the reputed Marian apparitions to the three shepherd children, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco. Among other places we visit the Perpetual Adoration Chapel, the Chapel of Apparitions, the Basilica and other places of interest in connection with Our Lady of Fatima. We will have the opportunity for a group photograph. In the afternoon we board our coach and go on a half-day optional excursion to Coimbra. Sister Lucia used to live in the Carmelite Convent in Coimbra. Here we will also see the local historical University.

Breakfast followed by a half-day optional excursion to Tomar and the caves of Mira d’Aire. On arrival at the top of a hill overlooking Tomar, we visit the Templars Monastery (entrance extra). From here we have a very beautiful panoramic view of picturesque Tomar. We proceed to the caves at Mira d’Aire for a guided tour of these spectacular caves and the fantastic show of the dancing waters (entrance extra). In the afternoon, we will have time to visit the Centro Commerciale and Wine Cellar. In the evening, we will take part in the International Rosary Celebration at the Chapel of Apparitions followed by the Candle Light Procession.

Today we join the religious functions attended by thousands of pilgrims marking the 12th and 13th day of the month. On the 13th day of six consecutive months in 1917 beginning on May 13, our Lady appeared to the shepherd children, during which they related that the apparition called herself the “Lady of the Rosary”. By means of a mini train (extra), we visit Valinhos where we follow the Stations of the Cross near the little chapel. Afterwards we go to Aljustrel to visit the houses where the three shepherd children Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco used to live. In the evening, we participate in the procession Aux Flambeaux on the main square in front of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima.

The highlight of today’s programme is when we join pilgrims from around the world and participate in the International Mass during which there will be the blessing of the sick and the farewell procession, a loving Adeus farewell to the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary. In the afternoon we go on an optional half-day excursion to Batalha, Alcobaca and Nazare. We make our way to Batalha to see the Gothic Cathedral. Some free time before we continue our way to Alcobaca to visit the monastery. Afterwards we proceed to Nazare, the seaside and fishing resort on the Atlantic coast.

After breakfast we join the tour leader for a full-day optional excursion to Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal. We will see the monument dedicated to Henry the Navigator, the Belem Tower, the Moorish Citadel and the façade of St Jeronimos Monastery. In the afternoon we go to Alfama with its streets decorated with beautiful tiles to visit St Anthony’s church and the old Cathedral of Lisbon. We have some free time for personal sightseeing and shopping before we make our way back to Fatima.

Today, after breakfast, we offer you an opportunity to travel towards the north of Portugal on our optional full-day excursion to Oporto, one of the largest and most important commercial cities in Portugal. We shall visit the pedestrian shopping area and other interesting places.

We check-out of our rooms and make our way to Lisbon Airport for our Ryanair Flight departing at 6.10pm and arriving in Malta at 10.15pm
