Finding both meeting points meant a lot of hopeless walking around trying to find the meeting points The monserrat tour was great but the directions could be clearer. With the Sagrada tour it was excellent, but I was searching for the meeting points. Nothing in information gave me a time and exact place to meet. Number 416, was not where the tour guides were. I waited for 45 minutes before another man went into the shop and found the guides. Please, clearer directions.

Your Experience

Explore two remarkable landmarks of the city of Barcelona in this guided day tour. You’ll journey to Montserrat Monastery – situated in the nearby mountains of Catalonia – and discover the beauty of the Sagrada Familia.

Montserrat Monastery

Departing from Barcelona to Montserrat Monastery, prepare to marvel at the history and culture of this abbey. The Montserrat community is formed of around 80 monks who live according to the Rule of Saint Benedict. You’ll learn about the monastery’s combined Gothic and Renaissance styles of architecture as well as admire paintings by notable artists like Morales, Caravaggio, El Greco – to name a few. Discover the beautiful atrium, the sacristy, and appreciate the talents of singers, composers, and teachers through an explanatory audiovisual that shows the choir line. Break for lunch when you return to Barcelona before heading to the Sagrada Familia.

Sagrada Familia

The basilica of Sagrada Familia is known all over the world for its unfinished architecture, unique and expansive design, and rich features. Designed by Antoni Gaudi – who worked on this landmark cathedral until his death – this famous landmark will enthral you with its story and presence. Acquire essential knowledge from your guide about the symbolism behind Sagrada Familia as an expression of Christian ideology through its stone construction. A key piece of artwork is the Family of Nazareth represented as a model of a united Christian family.
