Embark on a full-day sightseeing tour of Central Portugal from Lisbon, following in the footsteps of Catholic pilgrims. After departing from Lisbon, you'll travel through a diverse range of landscapes en route to the towns of Fatima, Nazare, and Obidos.
Travel in an air-conditioned van with a maximum of 8 passengers to the remarkable town of Fatima. This site is known for the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary, which are said to have occurred monthly between May and October in 1917 before three shepherd children.
In Fatima, visit one of the major shrines of the Catholic faith, which includes the tombs of the young shepherd children, the crown of the Virgin in the Chapel of the Apparitions, and a segment of the Berlin Wall.
Next, continue to the fishing port of Nazare, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Nazare is popular among surfers and is famous for Garrett McNamara's historic 79-foot wave ride. During your visit, savor lunch at a local restaurant away from the tourist crowds, where you can enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine.
Finally, explore the charming town of Obidos, which was taken from the Muslims in 1148 and has been part of the dowry of many Portuguese queens. Obidos retains its medieval charm, featuring cobblestone streets and flower-adorned houses within the old city walls. Don't miss the opportunity to taste Ginja de Óbidos, a cherry liqueur served in a chocolate cup.
After all these stops, you will return to Lisbon.
