Trip Summary

Lisbon
Lisbon, a dazzling city stretching along Tagus river, makes an enchanting European capital. Its nucleus, an ancient fortress, is now circled by neighborhoods drenched with medieval charm. Handcrafts - from embroidery to leatherwork - are peddled right on the streets. At night, yellow electric tramcars continue to wind their way up and down the hills in the sound of traditional Fado songs. Ample opportunities exist for seeing popular celebrations, for shopping, and for enjoying the nightlife along the riverbank. Visit Alfama, Baixa and Chiado, Se de Lisboa, Sao Roque Church, Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, Torre de Belem, Discoveries Monument, Museu Nacional dos Coches, Parque das Nacos, Elevador de Santa Justa, Tram 28 and so much more!

Obidos
The UNESCO Creative City of Obidos has a long history and so much of it is still evident and alive today. Encircled by walls nearly 50 feet high in spots, the focal point of this dynamic town is Obidos Castle, perched on the highest hill, which was built adjacent to the site of the Roman settlement of Eburobrittium. The Portuguese royal family chose Obidos as one of their homesteads, and the Queens of Portugal in particular considered Obidos to be the `jewel` in their respective crowns. You are guaranteed to fall in love with Obidos at first sight. Explore Obidos Castle, Santuario do Senhor Jesus da Pedra, Obidos Aqueduct, Porta da Vila, Livraria de Santiago, Igreja de Santa Maria, Casa da Arco da Cadeia, Lagoa de Obidos, Fort of Peniche, Ermida de Nossa Senhora de Monserrate, and so much more!

Fatima
Fatima has welcomed Catholic pilgrims and visitors of all faiths for 100 years. The legend of Fatima began in 1917, when three shepherd children, Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, witnessed a series of Marian apparitions, culminating in a spectacle witnessed by 70,000 people that many labeled `a miracle`. The area where the children saw the Virgin Mary is now called the Sanctuary, and many chapels and basilicas are located here. Visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary, Basilica of the Holy Trinity, Fatima High Cross, Chapel of the Apparitions, Cova da Iria, The Great Holmoak, Sanctuary of Fatima, Grutas da Moeda, Valinhos, Loca do Anjo, Lucia`s House, Francisco and Jacinta`s House, and so much more!
