During this adventure we will take you to know several places and monuments of enormous value. We start with the Sanctuary of Fátima, a place of worship for Christians that leaves no one indifferent. It was here that three humble children saw several apparitions and that to this day move thousands of pilgrims only through something so difficult to explain, Faith. Here we will also visit the Wax Museum where through various sculptures in this material we can get to know the life story of the 3 little shepherds. In the afternoon we will explore two historical monuments: the Monastery of Alcobaça and the Monastery of Batalha. Both impressive, were built with different purposes. In the first one, we will get to know the life of the monks in times gone by, all their daily lives without ever losing sight of the whole dimension of the building where they lived, in the second we will see an impressive monument that resulted from a historic battle for the Portuguese people.

    One Word.. 'Great'

    It looks like we are the first to take this tour and do a review of it. So, here goes.. We were picked up at our hotel right on time, and then driven to Fátima where we walked the street and shops on our way to the Wax Museum. It is a must if you are going to Fátima . We then got to see the plaza, had our pictures taken at the Berlin Wall monument, and then to the main chapel. Leaving Fátima we went to Nazaré and the overlook of the city, beaches, and Atlantic. We had lunch there in a very fine restaurant that overlooks the beaches. From there to the Batalha Monastery, and also the Alcobaça Monastery where we had not only entry tickets, but privileged entry to areas that many of the bus tours did not include in their itineraries. This was our second day trip with Mr. Forte; the first was to the Roman Ruins, which is highly recommended. Mr. Forte took the time to explain and answer each and every question we had about Portugal and the places we visited on the tours. His driving was safe and he makes you feel secure as he navigates the back roads and highways. The tour includes professional photographs of you and yours at each location; these are emailed to you AFTER you return to your home. This is not the lowest cost tour of Fátima as you can obtain tours out of Lisboa for less, but it is the BEST TOUR for which you will contract. The attention to detail and the knowledge base of Mr. Forte makes the difference.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Mr Bill, it was a pleasure to take you and your wife to explore a little bit of our country. best regards, Sérgio Forte

    Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.

    How much does Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery cost?

    +

    Prices start at $251 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Coimbra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Coimbra is not rushed.

    Is Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Coimbra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Coimbra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Coimbra and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Coimbra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Coimbra?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Coimbra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coimbra Top Attractions Walking Tour, Discovering the charms and places of Coimbra, Soft Canyoning, river Ceira, Góis, Serra da Lousa, Coimbra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Coimbra?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Coimbra?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery?

    +

    Included: Follow-up by qualified technical guides throughout the course; Entrance fees to the Wax Museum, Alcobaça Monastery and Batalha Monastery; Photos of the tour; Personal Accident and Liability Insurance; and Transport with collection in the Coimbra area. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 25 listed pickup locations in and around Coimbra. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Discovering Fátima, Batalha Monastery and Alcobaça Monastery wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
