Religious Portugal

Day 1

Leaving Lisbon, we will drive north and arrive at our first point of interest: the beautiful walled town of Óbidos with its picturesque streets and the Pousada do Castelo. We will then travel on to Alcobaça to visit a 12th century church containing the tombs of Pedro and Inês de Castro. For lunch, we will go to Nazaré - the most colourful Portuguese fishing village. We will then travel on to the Sitio to have a panoramic view of the beach and the village. In the afternoon we will visit the Batalha Monastery, a masterpiece of the Gothic and Manueline style considered a heritage of humanity by UNESCO. Upon arrival at the hotel in Fátima guests can enjoy some free time. There will also be an opportunity for you to attend mass if you so wish.

Day 2

After breakfast at the hotel, guests have the day free in Fátima for further exploration. This city is a centre of Christian faith and world pilgrimage. Visit the church where the tombstones of Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco are, as well as the Chapel of Apparitions, heart of the shrine. If you wish, you will have time to attend a mass. At the end of the day we will return to Lisbon through the colourful farming region.
