Me and my boyfriend purchased this ticket for Montserrat and I can't fault it at all. We enjoyed the experience and definitely recommend taking a day to visit. I was concerned that it would be complicated to get to judging by the reviews but I have to say I'm not sure what people have found so difficult. The instructions clearly state that you have to pick up your tickets from Place de Catalana. The information desks are all clearly signposted and the people on the desks are very helpful. The train departs from Espanya Station. The train you need is the R5 - it departs at 36 minutes past the hour, the first one being at 7:36 - the station is well signposted - you just need to follow signs for R5. You need to get off this train at Monistrol de Montserrat if you've chosen the Cremella (track railway) or Aeri de Montserrat if you've opted for the cable car. Again, this was all very well marked out. We opted for the Cremella and again this was very easy. Definitely recommend this ticket.

This was an amazing experience, I'd definitely recommend if you're going to Barcelona and are looking for a day trip out of the city. The scenery is amazing and I hadn't seen anything like it before. Firstly the journey to getting there is super exciting once you get off the train from Barcelona as you draw close to the mountain. Then the rack railway is so fun (option to do cable car too but you need to pick one or the other)! The audiovisual activity is really good as it gives you some history and background about the monastery - it's included in this ticket. The monastery was really nice and there weren't as many people in November so had a peaceful walk around. Then we got the funicular to go further up and explore the pathways in the mountain. This was amazing but if you want to reach the very top peak allow enough time to make your way down in time to catch all transport you need. Would recommend researching these ahead of going as you won't get a lot of info in your ticket!

Getting by train from Barcelona Espanya station to Montserrat proved to be way easier than expected. The best thing is with this ticket you decide how much time to spend in Montserrat. You can order and pay online and pick up your tickets from one of the Tourism kiosks at Plaza Catalunya.... Highly recommended!!!
