We loved visiting the monestary and Basilica and seeing the Black Madonna. The whole area is beautiful to walk and you need a full day to really get the most out of this experience. The museum was wonderful and not overwhelming as was the audiovisual experience that you enter from the gift shop. I highly recommend this activity. The trickiest part for us was finding the correct place to pick up the tickets. There are 2 stops on the train from Barcelona for Montserrat and you get off at the 2nd one which wasn't really explained. Hold on to your train ticket because you need it to return.
