If you want to discover the secrets of Montserrat, embark on an adventure to this other-worldly mountain, and choose the ticket option which best suits your needs.
There are 2 options to choose from:
Transport only
• Explore one of the biggest icons of Catalan culture at your own leisure. The Monastery of Montserrat is a place of pilgrimage and a must-see if you are visiting Barcelona. With this transport-only option, you can choose whether to visit the monastery, explore the hiking routes or, for those well-organised, why not do both!
• Tour with guide, transport and tickets included
Leave Barcelona early in the morning to avoid crowds and heat and take on the comfortable bus that will bring you to the Natural Park of Montserrat Mountain. After one hour bus ride, you will get off the bus and take the Montserrat Rack Railway, to make the last 15 minutes ride. The train has panoramic windows that allow you to admire the beauty of the landscape around Monistrol to Montserrat and will you offer you the mountain’s unique skyline and spectacular views.
Once you arrive, explore one of the biggest icons of Catalan culture with the help of a helpful tour guide, who will be able to tell you the interesting history of the monastery and the changes it has undergone from its historical beginnings to the present. The monastery´s origin began in the hermitage of Santa María in the year 888 and between the years 1493 and 1835, a time of great growth and splendour, it became part of the Congregation of Valladolid.
Fall in love with the architecture of the Basilica which combines Gothic and Renaissance styles. Observe its atrium and its sacristy as well as an interesting permanent exhibition on the image of the Virgin which shows how it has changed over the years. In the audiovisual exhibition, you will also have the opportunity to appreciate the talents of the singers, composers and teachers that make up the Choir of Montserrat.
On the free time, visit the Museum of Montserrat. Although the majority was lost during the Napoleonic War, the museum gathers a valuable set of artistic elements that you cannot miss. See objects related to the countries listed in the Bible, such as Mesopotamia, Cyprus, Egypt and Palestine, and admire an ancient collection of paintings from the 13th to the 18th century, in which you will find works by artists such as El Greco, Morales, Berruguete or Caravaggio.
Before leaving back to Barcelona, don’t forget to enjoy the flavors of the mountains with a tasting of Montserrat liquors.
