Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Convento de Cristo, Igreja do Castelo Templario, Tomar 2300-000 Portugal

Tomar is the most important place of the Templar History in the whole world, since it has preserved an imposing castle and church, practically intact.

The Order of the Templars existed from 1118 to 1308, when the Pope extinguished it and deprived it of its assets.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Capela Das Aparicoes, Cova da Iria Santuário de Fátima, Fatima 2495-580 Portugal

The chapel of the Apparitions is the "heart" of the Shrine of Fatima.

It was in the place of the Chapel that the Virgin Mary talked to the little shepherds. Out of the six apparitions of the Virgin Mary, five of them happened in this place – May, June, July, September, and October – where, by the Lady’s indication, a chapel in her honour was to be constructed.

Built between April 28 and June 15, 1919, it was later blessed, having Mass been celebrated there for the first time on October 13, 1921. Dynamited in the morning of March 6, 1922, it was restored and reopened on January 13, 1923.


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Rosario de Fatima, Rua de Rainha Santa Isabel 26, Fatima 2495-424 Portugal

The temple consists of a large nave with presbytery, transept and two sacristies. It has 14 side altars in each altar, a mystery of the rosary.

One of the altars is where the tombs of Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia are. Since their beatification, a lot of people come inside to the basilica to see them.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Basilica of the Holy Trinity, Av. de Dom Jose Alves Correia da Silva, Fatima 2496-908 Portugal

The first stone was laid on 6 June 2004 and was consecrated on 12 October 2007.

The altar is made out of a unique piece of local stone, branco do mar. In the front side of the altar, there is a piece of marble from the tomb of the Apostle Peter (over which the Basilica of the St. Peter was built, in the Vatican)


Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Mosteiro Da Batalha, Largo Infante Dom Henrique, Batalha 2440-484 Portugal
