  • Fatima area should be visit also for other reasons besides religion. In fact this region has a lot to See, specially in natural history. Central area of Portugal, from Coimbra to Lisbon, and from Óbidos, passing thru Alcobaça, Batalha, Porto de Mós, Fátima, Ourém and Tomar, Will Give you a good intel about the history of this region since the Jurrasic era, passing thru the very begining of Man ages...and of course, the contribution of These places on the foundation of what We know as Portugal.
  • Great natural monument. It feels amazing to walk next to the dinosaur footprints.
  • Very interesting place to visit if you like dinosaurs and archeology, it's very hot and dry during summer, bring hats and water!
  • More than 1000 dinosaurs footsteps. However, during summer months it is very hot, so would recommend checking weather before planning to visit. Beautiful views of the valley as well.
  • Former quarry, museum open to the public since 1997. One of the few places in the world where it is possible to see footprints of dinosaurs. Recommended for children.
