Fátima Travel Forum

I am taking a group to Fatima and I would like to know if there are some good Chinese restaurants nearby that will take groups.

We will be in Lisbon from October 11 thru the 15th. We would like to visit Fatima for the day on October 12 or 13. Is there a candlelight procession every day? If so, what time. The last bus leaves Fatima at 20:30. If we that does not work, then we would like to go on October 13 for the closing procession. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

We'd like to travel from Lisboa to Fatima, then from Fatima to Batalha.
Is there a frequent bus service between Batalha and Fatima? How often does it go? What about the buses between Batalha and Lisboa?
Thanks for the answers in advance.
All the best

(only 3 weeks, and we will be in Portugal!!!)

Time of buses from Fatima to Lisbon? Thanks

What time is the first bus from Fatima to Lisbon. I am booked on a 0955 flight from Lisbon?

is there daily bus service to and from fatima and alcobaca, batalha, caldas da reinha, leiria, nazare, obidos, tomar, and coimbra? i would like to visit these cities from a base in fatima. are these destinations available by bus? could a taxi and driver be hired by the day, and what should i expect to pay? is there a car rental agency in the area? how should i approach this if i prefer not to drive? regards omax

I intend to proceed direct from the lisbon airport to Fatima. But I have a few questions:

1. What bus can I take from the lisbon airport to Fatima? where do I buy the ticket? Does the bus company has a website that I can check the timetable?

2. Is there any locker at the Fatima bus station? I need a place to store my luggage while I tour around.

3. I will return from Fatima to Libson. What bus can I take? Any website which I can check on the timetable? Where do I alight when I reach Libson? Because I wish to find out the distance between the bus station and the hotel.

Thank yOu

We will be in Lisboa Nov 1st arriving around 9am.. staying in a hotel in Lisbon. How far to Fatima and what safest options do we have to go to Fatima? We would like to take a half day tour .. Are there any tours that go through hotels??? Please advise ASAP... Thanks

Hello Friends,

If someone out there has been to Fatima, (Portugal) could you recommend to us an accommodation (ranging between 30 Euros – 40 Euros per night) located nearest the Sanctuary.
We are travelling with two ladies 80 years old and need to be nearest to the Sanctuary as they from time to time needs a wheelchair.

Then we will be going to Porto (Portugal) we are hoping that someone could recommend to us an Apt. Hotel for 5 people. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

Warm regards,
Marant
