About your trip

Experience a powerful journey through Central Portugal’s religious and medieval history. This route from Nazaré bridges the modern spiritual significance of Fátima with the ancient military heritage of the Knights Templar in Tomar.

The Sanctuary of Fátima Begin at one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world. Here, you can explore the Sanctuary, which includes the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, the modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, and the Chapel of the Apparitions. It is a place of profound reflection and global spiritual connection.

The Convent of Christ in Tomar Continue inland to discover the former stronghold of the Knights Templar. Explore this massive castle complex and its world-famous monastery at your own pace.
