2. This aqueduct, commonly called Aqueduto dos Pegões, is a monumental 16th–17th-century structure built to bring water to the nearby Convent of Christ. It stretches around 6–7 km with around 180 arches and reaches up to about 30 m high over the Vale dos Pegões.

   15 Min.

3. Walking guided tour through the historical center of the City. Narrow cobbled streets lead to welcoming squares, historic churches, and old buildings with wrought-iron balconies and traditional façades. The heart of the old town is Praça da República, dominated by the Church of São João Baptista, an elegant example of Manueline architecture, and the former town hall building. The historic center is also home to important landmarks such as the Synagogue of Tomar, one of the oldest in Portugal, now a museum that reflects the city’s historic Jewish community.

   40 Min.

4. The Houses of the Three Little Shepherds are located in the small village of Aljustrel, near Fátima, and offer a glimpse into the simple rural life of the children who witnessed the apparitions in 1917: Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto.

   30 Min.

5. Guided visit of the Fátima Sanctuary. A visit to the Sanctuary of Fátima, in central Portugal, is a meaningful experience for both pilgrims and visitors interested in history, faith, and architecture. One of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, the sanctuary commemorates the apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1917 to three shepherd children. The vast sanctuary complex includes the Chapel of the Apparitions, built on the exact spot where the apparitions occurred and considered the spiritual heart of Fátima. Nearby stands the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, where the tombs of the three children—Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta—are located. On the opposite side of the esplanade is the modern Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity, notable for its contemporary design and large capacity.

About Lissabon

Lissabon fällt von seinen Hügeln zum Tejo hinab: Kachelfassaden, rumpelnde gelbe Trams, Aussichtsterrassen und späte, gemütliche Abendessen.

In den alten Vierteln steckt der meiste Charme. Alfamas Gassengewirr steigt zur Burg São Jorge an und hallt abends vom Fado wider, das geordnete Raster der Baixa führt hinab zur weiten Praça do Comércio am Fluss, und Bairro Alto und Chiado verbinden tagsüber Buchläden und Cafés mit Bars bei Nacht. Aussichtspunkte wie Santa Luzia und Senhora do Monte rahmen rote Dächer und glitzerndes Wasser.

Top-ranked sights in Lissabon: Commerce Square (Praça do Comércio), Pena National Palace (Palacio Nacional da Pena), Alfama.
