Full description

Take a day tour of Monserrat from Barcelona and enjoy the area's natural beauty. Visit the monastery before boarding a funicular to reach sweeping views of Catalonia from the mountaintop.

Meet your guide at the local partner's office in Barcelona and settle in for the hour-long ride to Montserrat.

Your first stop is the Benedictine Abbey. Explore this 11th-century religious sanctuary home to Catalonia’s patron saint: The Black Madonna. Next, board the funicular railway and ascend to the top of the mountain. Enjoy stunning views of valleys, mountains, and the sea. Hike on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago as you admire Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna. Wander past rocky pillars and ravines as you breathe in the mountain air. Have some free time back in the monastery area after your hike. Browse the local market before you catch a ride back to Barcelona.

Unforgettable Montserrat Half-Day Trip from BarcelonaIf you're in Barcelona and looking for a quick getaway into the stunning Catalan countryside, a half-day trip to Montserrat is a must. Our experience with this guided tour was nothing short of amazing, thanks in large part to the incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guides. They truly knew their jobs well, offering insightful information about the history and significance of Montserrat, while keeping the experience engaging and fun. The highlight of the trip was the funnel experience, which we highly recommend! It's a unique and thrilling way to take in the incredible landscape, adding an adventurous twist to the visit. Be mindful, though—the hike at Montserrat is not the easiest. So, if you're planning to do any walking or hiking, be sure to choose the option that best fits your fitness level. In short, this trip was a great balance of adventure, learning, and breathtaking views, highly recommended!
