Fatima - Situated in the heart of Portugal, the town of Fátima is one of the world’s most revered spiritual destinations. Renowned globally for the Marian apparitions of 1917, Fátima has evolved from a tranquil rural village into a symbol of faith, reflection, and peace, attracting millions of visitors annually.
Visitors can explore the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima, a sacred complex built on the very site where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared to three shepherd children: Lúcia, Jacinta, and Francisco. Within this complex, visitors will find the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, housing the tombs of the three visionaries, the impressively modern Basilica of the Holy Trinity, one of the largest churches in the world, and the Chapel of the Apparitions, marking the exact location of the first apparition. -
Coimbra - Welcome to Coimbra, one of Portugal’s most enchanting cities, where centuries of history blend with youthful energy.
Once the medieval capital of the nation, Coimbra is now celebrated for its prestigious university, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural life. Whether drawn by its academic legacy, rich heritage, or riverside beauty, Coimbra is sure to captivate.
While in Coimbra, visitors can discover the renowned University of Coimbra. Founded in 1290, the University of Coimbra is one of the oldest universities in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors can see the Joanina Library, a baroque masterpiece housing over 60,000 ancient books, the Royal Palace, former residence of Portuguese kings, and the Chapel of São Miguel, featuring a stunning pipe organ and centuries of religious art.
Afterward, visitors can enjoy amazing traditional food in a typical restaurant. -
Aveiro - Aveiro, located by the sea and the ria (estuary), is crisscrossed by a network of channels through which moliceiros (local boats) glide. These slender, colorful vessels were once used to collect algae and seaweed and are now used for sightseeing trips.
Aveiro boasts a number of Art Nouveau-style buildings that are worth seeing. Many are situated along the main channel, but some are off the beaten path and in other locations.
A symbol of the city is the sweet made with eggs and sugar - the “ovos moles” (soft eggs) that are sold in wooden barrels or wrapped in a crusty wafer in various shapes.
