Know more about your day trip

Fatima is one of the world's most important Catholic pilgrimage sites, where three shepherd children reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1917. The sanctuary attracts millions of pilgrims annually.
The journey from Sintra to Fatima takes approximately 1.5 hours via the A1 highway, passing through central Portugal's rolling hills and traditional villages.
This UNESCO World Heritage site was the headquarters of the Knights Templar in Portugal. The complex features remarkable Manueline architecture and is considered one of Portugal's most significant historical monuments.
Absolutely. Fatima offers cultural and historical significance beyond religious aspects. The architecture, peaceful atmosphere, and historical importance make it meaningful for visitors of all backgrounds.
Tomar served as the Portuguese headquarters of the Knights Templar from the 12th century. The city's Convent of Christ preserves this medieval heritage with stunning architecture and historical artifacts.
Fatima requires 2.5 hours to visit the basilica, apparition site, and museum. Tomar needs 2 hours minimum to explore the Convent of Christ and the historic town center. Your driver-guide will show you around and help keep the tour on track.
Besides your Daytrip tour, both locations offer guided tours in multiple languages for visiting the interiors of attractions (an additional cost outside of Daytrip). At Fatima, tours focus on the apparition story and religious significance. Tomar tours emphasize Templar history and architectural details.
Dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees. Maintain quiet, respectful behavior in sacred spaces. Photography restrictions may apply in certain areas of the sanctuary.
