Tips

There is no direct train. The nearest useful station is Caxarias, about 20 km away, and a taxi from there costs about €20–25. Local taxi firms in Fátima also run airport trips and group transport. For pilgrim groups, minibuses are often cheaper per person than several cars. Ask when booking whether your driver can wait while you visit the sanctuary and drive you back the same day, as waiting time may be charged.
