From Porto: Fatima & Coimbra Day Tour

A Day from Porto:
A Day Trip to Fátima and Coimbra

At the Sanctuary of Fátima, where the apparitions of the Virgin Mary began in 1917, the earnest prayers and solemn silence of pilgrims from around the world envelop you. As you explore the Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the exact spot where the Virgin Mary appeared to children, and the magnificent Basilica, a sense of pure curiosity and heartfelt childhood wonder, like from the fairy tales read under the night sky, will gently reawaken deep within your heart.

Next, travel to Coimbra, a city steeped in academia and romance. Stroll through the bookshelves of the University of Coimbra, a UNESCO World Heritage site established in 1290. As you gaze upon the Joanina Library, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, and the Sé Velha (Old Cathedral), a fortress-like structure preserving 12th-century Romanesque style, the heavy burdens of daily life will melt away. This cozy day in Portugal will transform into a treasured memory, held deep in your heart for a long time to come.
