Lisbon, Portugal |
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and journey north to Obidos through scenic landscapes dotted with windmills and orchards. This medieval walled town is famed for its well-preserved hilltop castle. Whilst here, take the opportunity to try the delicious local cherry liqueur.
Afterward, take a trip to Nazare, a charming fishing village with large beaches where you will have plenty of time to discover the fascinating legends and traditions of this jewel of Portugal’s Atlantic coast. If you have selected the option for lunch, you will visit a local restaurant for a tasty lunch. (For those who opt for the tour only, can enjoy free time to have lunch at their own leisure).
From the fresh air of the seaside, head back inland to Batalha, a small village with a big attraction: the Dominican Monastery, a late Gothic architectural masterpiece declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. Here lie the remains of Prince Henry the Navigator, who pioneered European exploration and maritime trade with other continents.
Next, travel to one of the most important Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world, Fatima. Here, you can admire the various religious buildings that make up the sanctuary and even attend Mass.
