Itinerary

1. Guided visit of the Convent of Christ, Unesco World Heritage Monument. It was originally built as the headquarters of the Knights Templar and later became the seat of the Order of Christ, which played a key role in the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.

   1 hAdmission included

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 Lisbon

Lisbon spills down its hills to the Tagus estuary, a city of tiled façades, rattling yellow trams, viewpoint terraces and late, unhurried dinners.

The old quarters hold most of the charm. Alfama's tangle of lanes climbs to São Jorge Castle and echoes with fado in the evening, the Baixa's orderly grid runs down to the vast Praça do Comércio on the river, and Bairro Alto and Chiado mix bookshops and cafés by day with bars by night. Viewpoints such as Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte frame red rooftops and shining water.

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