Full description
Visit one of the great religious centers of Portugal on a full-day tour to the Sanctuary of Fátima in Cova da Iria. Learn about the Marian apparitions that took place at the site in May 1917. Look inside the magnificent Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and other religious monuments, before visiting the Chapel of the Apparitions at the very heart of the sanctuary. Attracting more than 5 million visitors per year, Fátima is one of the largest sanctuaries in the world and the most popular pilgrimages occur in October and on May 12 and 13 on the anniversary of the visions. See the house of the shepherd that the Virgin Mary appeared before, and then continue to the university city of Coimbra.

Ausflug hat pünktlich begonnen und wir haben viel vom Reiseleiter über Portugal und vorab von coimbra und fatima erfahren. Was schade ist, dass coimbra nur durchgefahren wird und man von oben Aussicht sehen kann. Vermisste hier noch einen kleinen Rundgang nach unten in die Stadt, wo einem der Bus wieder aufgaben könnte. In fatima hatten wir dagegen fast Zuviel Zeit, Ich empfehle den Ausflug trotzdem, da man einiges erfährt und sich nur im Bus setzen brauch… wir waren wieder pünktlich um kurz nach 18 h in Porto…

Péssimo passeio. Guia fraca e sem muita orientação.

Fatima Sanctuary & Coimbra City Tour

The City Tour was well planned and nice. The guide presented a lot of interesting information, both during travel and in visited places. However, I would recommend to split this city tour into two - one only for Fatima and one for Coimbra. In Fatima we had free time for religious activity, however it need to be done in huge rush. In Coimbra we made a short walk and have only 30 minutes.
