Description:

Discover sacred sites, quaint Portuguese towns, and the natural beauty of the countryside on this full-day tour. Visit Fatima to learn about its significance in the Christian faith, admire spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, and stroll through one of Europe's most romantic villages—Obidos.

Begin at the Sanctuary of Fatima, which sees more than 5 million visitors each year. Listen as your private guide explains the basilica's role as a meaningful site of pilgrimage for Roman Catholics. Continue on the Batalha Monastery. Gazing up at its majestic, Gothic structure, you can feel the weight of the ages—it's easy to see why this edifice earned a nod from UNESCO as World Heritage Site.

Over some free time in the middle of the day, explore the surfer's paradise of Nezare. The beachside town is also known for its eateries and cafes. Afterward, drive along the seaside cliffs, taking the rugged coastal scenery and passing through pretty fishing villages. Arrive in Obidos, where you can enjoy a favorite local libation—Ginja, a cherry liqueur—served in a chocolate cup.

Here, wander along winding, cobbled streets lined with colorful houses bedecked with vibrant flowers like the perfect archetype of a Mediterranean village. Encircled by the walls of a 12th-century medieval castle, Obidos is an idyllic spot to while away a magical afternoon.
