Fatima, Nazare & Obidos: Faith, Big Waves & Medieval Walls

Description

Want to explore a different side of Portugal? This full-day private van tour takes you north of Lisbon to experience three of the country’s most iconic and contrasting destinations: the religious capital of Fátima, the seaside spectacle of Nazaré, and the storybook village of Óbidos.

We begin at the Sanctuary of Fátima—one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Catholic world, known for its apparitions of the Virgin Mary and spiritual significance. From quiet contemplation to coastal drama, we then make our way to Nazaré, a humble fishing town turned global surfing stage. You’ll visit the cliffside Sítio lookout point, where winter waves tower above the lighthouse—and maybe spot a surfer braving the Atlantic giants.

Finally, we wrap the day in Óbidos, a medieval village surrounded by ancient walls and brimming with charm. Stroll through narrow cobbled streets, browse local craft shops, and snap photos of traditional whitewashed houses adorned with flowers and blue trim.

Optional detours to the Monasteries of Batalha or Alcobaça can be added upon request—just ask us when booking.

Private group bookings welcome. Hotel pickup available; conditions and fees may apply. Contact us for custom private group requests.

Tour pricing is based on a base fee + €60 per person for parties of 3 or more.
