We had a nice afternoon in Fatima and were able to attend a mass which was outdoors so everyone could see it and participate if you wanted.

Fátima Half-Day Trip (Afternoon)
After lunch, hop back on your coach and sit back as you take in views of the Portuguese countryside on the drive to Fátima, an important Catholic pilgrimage site since 1917, when three shepherd children claimed to have seen an apparition of the Virgin Mary, also known as Our Lady of Fátima.
When you arrive, visit Our Lady of Fátima Sanctuary with your guide and see the Chapel of Apparitions, where the Virgin Mary appeared. Then, enjoy free time to explore the site at your own pace and attend mass, if you wish (and if tour time allows).
