Step by Step

Discover two of Portugal's most symbolic destinations on a full day tour that will take you from Porto to Fatima, a centre of Marian spirituality, and Coimbra, one of the oldest university cities in Europe.

The day begins in Fatima, where you will visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary, including the Chapel of Apparitions and the tombs of the three visionary children. You will also tour Aljustrel, the village where Francisco and Jacinta were born, and soak up the spiritual atmosphere that makes this place one of the most important pilgrimage centres in the world.

After Fátima, the tour heads to Coimbra, where a guided walking tour will take you through the Pátio das Escolas, the exteriors of the University of Coimbra, and other highlights of the historic centre. Enjoy panoramic views, charming narrow streets and the vestiges of its Roman and medieval past.

During the tour, you will learn about the customs, architecture and academic heritage of Coimbra, a city that has been the cradle of Portuguese intellectuals, poets and politicians. The tour puts special emphasis on the university spirit, from the traditional uniforms to the local legends.
