Follow the pilgrims' route to Fátima, one of the most important Christian sites in the world, with approximately 5 million visitors each year. Visit Nazaré, a quaint seaside fishing town, and fall in love with Óbidos, an enchanting medieval-era village with white-washed walls.

Start by visiting the Sanctuary of Fátima, a major Christian pilgrimage site that welcomes tourists from all around the world. See the Basílica do Rosário, which holds the tombs of 3 visionary children who had supposedly seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary. End your Fátima experience at the Monumento ao Sagrado Coração de Jesus (Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus).

Marvel at the 14th-century Batalha Monastery, built by the rulers of the House of Aviz. The monastery serves as a burial place for royals from this Portuguese dynasty. Breathe in fresh air atop the Nazaré Cliffs with extraordinary views of the Atlantic Ocean. Learn about the history of this coastal fishing town, a popular summer retreat away from the capital city. Enjoy a lunch and hear about its rich heritage.

Arriving in Óbidos is like stepping back in time. Once the village of the Queen, its white walls, narrow alleyways, and towering castle now provide a picture-perfect background to explore souvenir and craft shops. Before your return to Lisbon, taste the famous Ginja, a sour-cherry liqueur, also a local specialty.
