Visit the humble houses of Lúcia, Francisco, and Jacinta in the village of Aljustrel and imagine their simple daily lives. Experience the Sanctuary of Fátima, a place of devotion and peace, where the Chapel of the Apparitions marks the exact spot of the Virgin Mary’s appearances.

Walk through the narrow streets, Roman ruins, and ramparts, discovering the long staircase of Quebra-Costas and charming historic neighbourhoods. From the University atrium, enjoy breathtaking views of the city. Learn about local traditions, observe the students’ iconic black capes, and uncover centuries of fascinating stories with your guide.
