Fatima
It's time to discover Fátima. With its origins deep in history, it was during the Arabian occupation that this settlement developed and was named. According to legend, during the Christian Reconquest, the Templar knight Gonçalo Hermingues, also known as Bringer-of-Moors, fell in love with Fátima, a Moor captured in the course of an ambush. Reciprocating the love, the young woman converted to Christianity and adopted the name Oureana. In the sixteenth century, the settlement became a parish in the collegiate church of Ourém within the Diocese of Leiria. Its subsequent development dates from the events known as the Apparitions of Fátima, in the early part of the twentieth century. It has become one of the key centers for the Cult of the Virgin Mary in Portugal and has been recognised world-wide by the Catholic Church.
120 minutes here
One of the largest Marian centres in the world. This Marian centre of pilgrimage evokes the apparitions of Our Lady to the three little shepherds Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, which took place in 1917 and were recognized in 1930. The spot was a rural property called Cova da Iria, and it belonged to the parents of Lucia, who donated it to the Shrine. It was here that five of the six apparitions took place

Capela Das Aparicoes
The Chapel, in the heart of the current Fátima Sanctuary, was built by local people in 1919 in response to the request made by Our Lady during one of the apparitions.
Pass by without stopping
The three shepherd children to whom Our Lady appeared - Lúcia and her cousins, Francisco and Jacinta - were born in the small village of Aljustrel, around 2 kms from the sanctuary of Fátima.
Pass by without stopping
Coimbra
Our last stop will be Coimbra, a city known for its academic life, a city that gives life to those who lost it. You will have the opportunity to get to know a little bit of academic life but also of the general culture that surrounds the university. Take advantage of this moment to stroll through the picturesque streets of this magical city.

Exceptional Tour of Fátima and Coimbra
The tour was an exceptional experience and easily one of the best I have ever been on! Visiting Fátima and Coimbra was worthwhile, offering a wonderful combination of history, beauty, culture, and spirituality. Both destinations were memorable, each with its own unique character and significance. Orlando and Nuno did an outstanding job. Orlando was very knowledgeable and provided valuable insights into the different stops along the tour, while Nuno ensured a smooth and comfortable ride throughout. Both were personable, easy to talk to, considerate, well-organized, and excellent communicators. Overall, an exceptional tour that I highly recommend

Porto - Fatima Day Trip
The weather was perfect and the crowds were plenty. Thank you Orlando and Nu Nu for a great experience. Provided safe and efficient transportation and presentation. For future reference it would be helpful to encourage bringing water.

Viator tour to Coimbra/Fatima October 1st 2026
It's a long driving time and not enough viewing in both locales. Mostly it is a very fast walking tour with no guided entry to any of the important things to see. That having been said our tour driver/guide, Manuel, was very good. He was friendly and well informed. He would have been great carrying out guided touring of important places in both locations. He was a very good driver.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Porto is not rushed.
Is From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 491 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour?
+
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 From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour?
+
Around 172 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 Porto 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 Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Porto: Fátima and Coimbra Full Day Tour 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 Porto 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 Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Douro Valley Small Group Tour: 2 Wineries, Lunch & River Cruise, Best of Porto Walking Tour Small Group Experience and Local Guide. 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 Porto?
+
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 Porto?
+
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.
