Lisbon and Fatima Sanctuary Full-Day Private Tour

See the sights of Lisbon and the Fatima Sanctuary in one day on an 8-hour private tour. Go to the Catholic pilgrim site to learn more about the apparition of the Virgin Mary and cult of Our Lady of Fatima. Then, explore the highlights of Lisbon.
Following a pick-up at your hotel in Lisbon or Cascais (optional), drive to the Fatima Sanctuary where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared before 3 peasant children. Your guide will explain the history behind the story of Our Lady of Fatima, and the appearance of the Virgin Mary in 1917.

Enjoy some free time to discover the sanctuary and its sights, such as the sheer white basilica built in 1953.
