Turen var fantastisk! Guiden Glória var sensationel. Vær opmærksom på, at de kører til tiden. Vi bestilte om morgenen og ankom 5 minutter senere, og bussen var allerede kørt. Vi bookede om til om eftermiddagen, men måtte betale et ekstra gebyr.

Billed as half day and it just squeezed into that at 4.5 hours but it felt a little rushed. But guide Sandra was excellent, funny and good English. Why the Monastery cannot implement a better queueing system is a mystery as they plenty of experience, but that's not the tour company fault.

Your experience

Trains and rack railway

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.
