Det var helt fantastiskt ... bokningsprocessen, inlösen av biljetten på tågstationen; allt var lysande ... vi hade en fantastisk tid. Vi har använt dina tjänster tidigare och var lika imponerade ... vi rekommenderar verkligen dina tjänster!

Mycket grundläggande och biljetterna kan faktiskt köpas på plats utan problem. Det är synd att den andra linbanan upp på det högsta berget inte längre ingick i priset. Vi hade bokat denna eftersom vi inte hade någon erfarenhet av platsen.

Platsen är enorm, men tyvärr var vädret inte på vår sida ... massor av dimma och skyfall.... Vi måste komma tillbaka en dag för att se landskapet och platsen på djupet.

Var tvungen att betala för mer resor längre upp på berget. Var under intrycket att alla resor ingick

Board a train and set out on a round-trip journey from Barcelona to explore Montserrat, where a crown of serrated mountains stands tall to awe you. Visit the Information Office to get your hands on the multi-lingual audio guide and informative booklet, along with a map to locate and deep dive into key highlights.

Revered religious sites

The centuries-old Basilica of Montserrat is a revered pilgrim site, as the Throne of the Virgin of Montserrat, the Black Madonna, resides here. Get swift access to this world-famous Romanesque sculpture with timed entry and roam the rest of the basilica at your own pace. Stand in awe of the golden arches and ornaments adorning the walls of the Basilica. Upgrade your ticket to attend the prayer ceremony and liturgical celebrations with the boys’ choir of Escolanía de Montserrat, one of Europe’s oldest music schools.

Museums to explore

A historically rich and artistically significant site, the Open-Air Museum in Montserrat is a sanctuary comprising of multiple religious sites. Located here is the Holy Grotto, also called Santa Cova, where, according to legends, the sculpture of the Virgin of Montserrat was hidden to protect it from Moorish invaders. Catch a glimpse of the exhibition of Audiovisual Space Montserrat Portes Endins, which tells the story of the monastery, sanctuary, and the serrated mountains. To explore the artistic culture of the region, head over to the Museum of Montserrat, which was crowned a museum of national interest in 2006. Works by artists such as Monet, Dali, and Picasso grace the walls of the museum, with important archaeological collections from Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt displayed proudly in the museum.
