Visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima, anchored by the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and the Church of the Holy Trinity. Nearby, the Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the site of the Marian appearances, is often complemented by quiet candle-lit prayer. Visitors should follow their guide to the Fatima Light & Peace Museum to learn more about the events of 1917 and how they shaped the region.

Gothic beauty and royal tombs await in Batalha’s sky-high masterpiece of stone and silence.
Stone tells a story in Batalha, where faith, art, and national pride rise in symmetry. Begin at the Mosteiro da Batalha, a UNESCO World Heritage marvel where flying buttresses and intricate carvings reach heavenward. Step into the Cloisters of King Joao I, where light dances through lace-like stone. Don’t miss the hauntingly beautiful Capelas Imperfeitas - roofless, majestic, and open to the sky. End with a taste of local tradition: try Cavacas or Brisa do Lis from a nearby cafe, with a view of this timeless Portuguese monument.

Know more about your day trip
Fatima is one of Catholicism's most important pilgrimage sites, where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to three shepherd children in 1917. You'll visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima with its Basilica, Chapel of Apparitions, and vast Prayer Square where thousands gather for religious celebrations. The site attracts millions of visitors annually seeking spiritual connection or witnessing Catholic traditions.
The Batalha Monastery (Mosteiro da Batalha) is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll marvel at its ornate Manueline-style entrance, soaring nave, royal tombs, beautiful stained glass, and the unfinished chapels. Built to commemorate Portugal's victory at the Battle of Aljubarrota in 1385, it represents Portuguese national identity and artistic achievement.
The journey from Cascais to Fatima takes approximately 1.5 hours (about 130 km), with Batalha another 20 minutes further (25 km). Your private driver handles all navigation through Portugal's scenic countryside, allowing you to relax and enjoy the changing landscapes without worrying about directions or parking.
Not at all. While Fatima holds special significance for Catholics, visitors of all backgrounds appreciate its peaceful atmosphere and cultural importance. Batalha Monastery appeals to anyone interested in history, architecture, and art. Your driver provides historical and cultural context rather than religious guidance, making the experience accessible to all travelers.
Modest attire is appropriate for visiting the Sanctuary of Fatima. Shoulders and knees should be covered out of respect for the religious site. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended as the sanctuary grounds are extensive. If visiting during summer, bring sun protection as many areas are uncovered, while in winter, layers are advisable for changing temperatures.
While Fatima welcomes visitors year-round, May 13th and October 13th mark the anniversary celebrations of the apparitions with major pilgrimages. These dates offer a powerful cultural experience but bring large crowds. For a more peaceful visit, choose weekdays outside these peak times. Spring and fall provide pleasant weather for exploring both outdoor and indoor sites.
Yes, your tour includes time for lunch between visiting Fatima and Batalha. Your driver can recommend authentic local restaurants serving traditional Portuguese cuisine. Popular options include bacalhau (salt cod), grilled meats, and regional pastries. This break provides an opportunity to experience local gastronomy while resting between sightseeing.
