  • Make the most of your time in Catalonia with this full-day guided tour from Barcelona that takes you through the breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures of Montserrat, the medieval city of Girona, and the sun-kissed coastal scenery of Costa Brava, all with round-trip transportation included.

    Getting started

    Begin your day by meeting your guide at the designated meeting point at

    Carrer de Martí i Franquès in central Barcelona. Hop aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach as you leave the city behind and journey into the Catalan countryside toward your first destination -Montserrat.

    What to expect

    Perched on a multi-peaked mountain range, the Montserrat Monastery is a stunning blend of spirituality and natural beauty. Your tour also takes you through the charming streets of Girona and the stunning coast of Costa Brava.

    • Montserrat: Admire the breathtaking landscape of Montserrat with its needle-like rocks, lush tropical vegetation, and volcanic mountains.

    • Montserrat Monastery: Visit the stunning 10th-century Montserrat Monastery, home to the iconic Black Madonna. Marvel at its intricate blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and visit the museum, which houses over 1,300 artefacts and works of art.

    • Girona: Travel to the beautifully preserved medieval town of Girona. Walk through cobbled streets flanked by Roman walls and centuries-old buildings as your guide recounts stories of Jewish heritage, medieval intrigue, and even cinematic fame.
