Meget grundlæggende, og billetterne kan faktisk købes på stedet uden problemer. Det er ærgerligt, at den anden svævebane op ad det højeste bjerg ikke længere er inkluderet i prisen. Vi havde bestilt den, fordi vi ikke havde nogen erfaring med stedet.

Stedets enorme størrelse, men desværre var vejret ikke på vores side ... masser af tåge og skybrud.... Vi bliver nødt til at komme tilbage en dag for at se landskabet og stedet i dybden.

Hele turen er smuk, det eneste komplicerede var at finde billetudvekslingsstederne.

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.
