Guided tours in the Sanctuary
The Confraria do Bom Jesus do Monte offers a guided tour service to explore the heritage of the sanctuary. This initiative aims to enhance the discovery and understanding of the religious, cultural, and natural heritage of Bom Jesus, providing a welcoming experience for pilgrims and tourists. It serves both as a more comprehensive touristic offer and as an evangelizing proposal, inspired by the nature of the various spaces within the sanctuary.
The guided tours are led by local guides who accompany visitors through five different routes (see table below). These routes cover the cultural, religious, and natural heritage of Bom Jesus.
The tours are available for organized groups or individuals, with a minimum of 1 person and a maximum of 25 people.
Guided tours are available in Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, and Italian.
The tours are conducted with maximum safety and professionalism, always adapted to the age group of the visitors, with a strong focus on learning through engaging and interactive content.
A prior booking is mandatory, with at least 15 business days’ notice before the desired date. Reservations can be made by filling out the form (available below) or by contacting us via email at geral@bomjesus.pt or by phone at 253676636.
