Fátima Private Pilgrimage: Shrine, Sacred Path and Scenic Rail

Immerse yourself in a unique and intimate experience as you explore Fátima on a private guided walking tour, delving into the lives of three children—Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta Marto—who witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady in 1917.

This guided tour will lead you to the locations of the apparitions, the shepherd children's house, and the basilica housing their tombs, as well as the spots where the Angel of Peace appeared. You will have the opportunity to light candles at the sanctuary, collect blessed water, and traverse part of the Way of the Cross, from station IX to XV, following in the footsteps of the shepherd children.

Additionally, you can embark on a scenic train tour, unveiling the church where the shepherd children were baptized and providing a panoramic view of the region.

For a more comprehensive experience, there is an option to extend the tour by an extra hour, exploring the Via Sacra from the first station.
