It was the most amazing place to visit. Tickets where easy to pick up at station, and staff there were very helpful. First issue was getting the audio guide . Would be helpful for more information on the steps to receive that as would have helped. We only found out near end that information point was place to go. The monastery was stunning and the black Madonna was something I'll never forget . But definetly more practical information would be great assistance

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.

Explore the Montserrat Monastery, a sacred sanctuary that clings to a mountainous backbone of rugged, needle-like peaks, at your own pace.

With a train ride from Barcelona and a rack rail ride from Montserrat, your journey to the monastery is nothing less than seamless.

A multilingual audio guide in eight languages ensures you can immerse yourself in exploring the Black Madonna and other key highlights.

Witness the world’s most treasured works of art by El Greco, Monet, and Picasso at the Museum of Montserrat.

Upgrade your ticket to witness the Escolania boys’ choir sing inside the basilica, adding a soulful touch to your experience.

Ease of transport access. Great attraction. Too much for 1 day. Really need 2 days at least. We didn't get a chance to do any walks. The basilica and museum were our focus. Restaurant meal was excellent.

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!
