The Sanctuary of Fátima is, par excellence, a place of Christian pilgrimage and Catholic devotion, preserving the memory of the events that led to its foundation, namely the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima to the three shepherds - Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto - in 1917. In this tour, we will visit the place of Aljustrel, the so-called Aldeia de Valinhos, place where the 3 little shepherds lived. Arriving at the sanctuary, we will visit the Basilica of Nossa Senhora do Rosário. The building, which stands out for its 65 meters high tower, is the place where the remains of the three little shepherds rest. We will then visit the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, the most recent of the sanctuary, and the Capelinha das Aparições where, with a little luck, you will have the opportunity to attend a mass. After the visit we return to your hotel in Coimbra.

Beautiful trip to Fatima
My main purpose of coming to Portugal was to come to Fatima. Our driver/ tour guide Xavier was excellent. He explained the history and significance of Fatima to us.
Response from the operator: Hi Patricia & Trisha, I am pleased to receive your kind words, and it was a pleasure to meet you. Have a good trip! Cheers! Xavier

Fatima 1/2 day tour
We had a wonderful trip today. We learned a lot about the country as well as Fátima. There were only 2 of us on the tour so it felt like we had a private tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, From time to time our tours take on this "private" mode... of course it depends on the influx of tourists on that day... Thank goodness we made a positive impression, which makes us very happy. Thanks Xavier

Exceptually beautiful!
The architecture is beautiful and the space completely preserved. Entry is free! The place is huge so I recommend you arrive early and take 3 hours to enjoy Fatima. Enjoy and visit the wax museum and the interactive museum that is located close to the sanctuary!
Response from the operator: Agradecemos o comentário. Aguardamos pela proxima visita. Obrigado

Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.
How much does Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra?
+
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 Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fátima Sanctuary and Pastorinhos Village, half-day from Coimbra 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.
