Loved the trip to Montserrat! The Monastery is really worth visiting. For the young and fit who could still hike, tours with the hiking component would be advisable (or if you prefer to do it by yourself, you can as well, with much care of course given the steep points and winds that could get strong) - the views are amazing and it is a one-of-a-kind of experience that you won't get from just about anywhere. Our guide, Sarah, was very nice and accommodating as well.

Excellent Guides! Loved the view and the monastery..

Cogwheel train ride with a view

Leave behind the hustle of the city of Barcelona as you head towards the serene beauty of spiritual Montserrat, the magical mountain range of Catalonia. Begin your trip in your comfortable coach from the meeting point to the foot of the mountain, at which point you will board a cogwheel train, ascending the mountain steadily until you hit a height of just a little over 4,000 ft, traversing the natural cement and sandstone rocks of the mountain and enjoying the majestic views as you go along before arriving at the Monastery.

Basilica of Montserrat

Visit the Basilica of Montserrat, which houses the Virgin of Montserrat, who was the patron saint of Catalonia. You can also admire from a distance the famous 12th-century Romanesque carving of the Verge Moreneta, better known as the Black Madonna. The treasures within the monastery are almost as breathtaking as the views from it.

You will then be given some free time to visit the audio-visual exhibition about the creation of Montserrat and its rich history, as well as get to taste the typical liquors of the mountain, handmade at the monastery itself. Depending on the time you arrive, you may get to enjoy the beautiful performance by the Escolania of Montserrat, the children’s choir at the sanctuary.

What's not allowed

  • Strict dress code: It is mandatory to cover shoulders and knees for both men and women. Flipflops aren't allowed.

Additional information
