Montserrat Tour

Come along and experience the perfect way to see the splendor of Montserrat. You will find this to be one of the most independent ways to see this iconic beauty.

Capture the heart of Catalunya on this trail to the iconic Montserrat. You will have plenty of time to explore the magnificent natural park & mountains with spectacular views over the plains of Catalonia.

Departing from Barcelona you will travel just over an hour and a half to reach Montserrat.

On arrival, there are various options available, but a visit to the sanctuary where the Moreneta is housed is a must. The sanctuary has been in use for almost 1000 years for those pilgrims and other visitors who have climbed this spectacular mountain.

At 1:00 pm on weekdays there is the chance to hear one of Europe's oldest children's choirs, La Escolania de Montserrat. There is also the opportunity to visit the fascinating Museum of Montserrat, with its five collections ranging from Archaeology from the Biblical East to Modern Painting and Sculpture.

Besides these cultural possibilities, the paths of the Montserrat parkland lead you around a number of different walks, each offering a different perspective on the stunning views over the surrounding landscape, many of which are peppered with small chapels and hermitages.

There are routes to suit all tastes and energy levels, from fairly strenuous treks to gentle strolls around the park area, all of which allow you to marvel at the views and to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of this protected natural park.

Another option is to take one of the two rack railways, or the cable car, offering different views of the area.

On arrival in Montserrat, your guide will give you a ticket back to Barcelona and carefully show you how to make this simple journey, which takes around one hour. We give you two choices on how to get down from the mountain: either by cable car or by using the rack railway.

For those with limited time available, we recommend leaving Montserrat at 1:00pm, but
for those wishing to discover more of the hiking trails, you will have the freedom to stay in Montserrat all day.

Our guide will, of course, be available all morning to answer any of your questions and
point you in the right direction.
