Our guide Jon was so knowledgeable about the area and provided great information in two languages, a tough assignment that he pulled off beautifully. We appreciated the precise instructions and the tips he provided. The tour was just right as far as navigating the need to see the history and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

Tutto perfetto, arrivati a destinazione all'ufficio informazioni ti consegnano mappa per muoverti, una guida ed un santino con medaglietta della Madonna nera. Giornata faticosa ma è un'esperienza che merita di essere vissuta. Consigliatissimo

A wonderful experience and a beautiful journey amidst the mountains and breathtaking scenery. The funicular railway is enjoyable, the place is full of magnificent views, the Black Virgin Church is stunningly beautiful, and the museum is filled with beautiful paintings and historical artifacts. The cinematic presentation is dazzling and well worth a visit.

Alles hat super geklappt. Man sollte in der Wegbeschreibung erwähnen , dass der Ticketschalter sich bei der Bahnstation im Untergrund befindet. Auf dem Hinweis per E-Mail wird ein Foto von einem Platz gezeigt. Dort befindet sich der Ticketschalter allerdings nicht. Man findet ihn im Untergeschoss beim Eingang zur Bahnstation. Dort erhält man auch seine Tickets. Bis zur Statuion Monistrol de Montserrat fahren und bei der Zahnradbahn aussteigen. Die erste Station, welche Montserrat beschildert ist, ist die Seilbahn. Dieser Hinweis fehlt ebenfalls in der Beschreibung. Die Zahnradbahn fährt nur einmal pro Stunde. Vorher bitte den Fahrplan prüfen, damit man nicht zu lange auf die Abfahrt der Zahnradbahn warten muss. Ansonsten war es ein toller Ausflug, wenn man diese kleinen Punkte beachtet ich kann es jedem empfehlen

A wonderful experience and a beautiful journey amidst the mountains and breathtaking scenery. The funicular railway is enjoyable, the place is full of magnificent views, the Black Virgin Church is stunningly beautiful, and the museum is filled with beautiful paintings and historical artifacts. The cinematic presentation is dazzling and well worth a visit.

Enjoy a seamless cultural journey from Barcelona to Montserrat with transportation, access to the sacred Black Madonna, and an audio guide that lets you explore at your own pace.

Getting started

Start your journey at FGC Plaça Espanya in Barcelona, where your tickets will be validated. Then, board the R5 line using the train ticket included in your pass. On arrival at Monistrol de Montserrat, switch to the rack railway for a stunning uphill ride to the monastery.

What to expect

Montserrat Monastery

An iconic mountaintop sanctuary, the monastery is revered for its religious significance, breathtaking views, and the statue of the Black Madonna.

Features

Black Madonna: Carved in poplar wood back in the 12th century, the Black Madonna is the monastery’s most sought-after attraction.

Basilica of Montserrat: The basilica is the spiritual heart of the monastery, revered for its intricate architecture and almost breathtaking acoustics.

Museum of Montserrat: Home to more than 1,300 works across six curated collections, the museum is home to artistic wonders by the likes of Monet, Picasso, and Caravaggio.

Train & rack railway: The train ticket from the Plaça Espanya station in Barcelona, and the pass to the rack railway onwards from Montserrat to the monastery add to this experience’s convenience.

Audio guide: A multilingual audio guide in eight different languages ensures you can immerse yourself in the monastery’s wonders and wander through it at your own pace.

Upgrades

Escolania de Montserrat Choir Performance: Composed of around 50 boys, the choir’s voice within the basilica’s solemn walls adds a transcendent quality to your visit. This is a worthy upgrade!

What to bring

ID or passport: Carry a valid ID or passport to get your tickets validated.

Footwear: Wear comfortable, grippy walking shoes for the uphill paths.

Smartphone and earphones: Bring a fully charged phone and good earphones for the audio guide.

Accessibility

Monastery access: Most areas of the monastery are wheelchair accessible.

Black Madonna access: The Black Madonna is not accessible to wheelchair users or visitors with limited mobility.

Trains: The train and rack railway are accessible to visitors with reduced mobility.

What’s not allowed

Dress code: Men and women must wear clothes that cover their knees and shoulders.

Flip-flops: Entering the monastery in flip-flops is prohibited.

Photography gear: Flash photography, tripods and selfie sticks are prohibited inside the basilica.

Photography during services: Taking photos during services at the monastery is prohibited.

Worship times: Entering the basilica during acts of worship is prohibited unless you are taking part.

Additional information

Ticket exchange: The ticket office at FGC Plaça Espanya is open from 8am to 2pm, and you must exchange your ticket here before starting the journey.

Black Madonna slot: The time slot you select when booking is for access to the Black Madonna.

Resident benefit: The basilica and the Black Madonna timed entry are free for Spain residents.

Train timing: The first train from Barcelona is at 8:36am, so if you book a time slot before 10am (factoring in a 1.5-hour commute), you will need to arrange alternate means of transportation to the monastery.

Choir break: The boys' choir will not sing from 25 June to 20 August, on 29 August, from 1 to 3 September, on 2, 3 and 6 October, and on 24 November.

Pace of visit: You can explore the rest of the monastery at your own pace.

Travel time: When choosing your Black Madonna slot, factor in travel from Barcelona and the uphill walk to the monastery.

Tabernacle access: The Tabernacle of Our Lady is closed during services to ensure silence for those praying.

Audio guide access: The details to download your audio guide will be sent after your booking is confirmed.

Choir timings: Choir performance times may vary based on religious celebrations and the school calendar, and last-minute changes may occur.

Mass times: Mass at the basilica takes place Monday to Saturday at 11am, and at 9:30am on all holidays including Sundays.

Guided tour option: If you select the guided tour option, an expert English-speaking guide will accompany you and round-trip transfers will be included.
