Things to do in Fatima

Lovely little Fatima, Portugal was put on the tourist radar in the early 20th century, when three children began seeing monthly visions of the Virgin Mary. Today the town is a pilgrimage centre, and visitors flock to its basilica on the 13th of every month. Interested in learning more? Take a private Fatima tour with a local guide who can explain the legend, and help you explore the lovely surrounding region. The soaring Basílica de Fátima was built in the Cova da Iria pastures, in the same spot where the Virgin Mary apparition appeared almost 100 years ago. While in Fatima, your guide can give details about the story, and take you to visit the homes of the three children. Outside of Fatima, the Estramadura region is yours to explore. Especially popular is the striking walled city of Obidos; take in the views of the countryside from its medieval castle. Your guide will make sure you enjoy your time in Portugal on your private Fatima tour!
