Discover Montserrat Monastery - Transport Only

If you want to discover the secrets of Montserrat, embark on an adventure to this other-worldly mountain.

Transport only

• Explore one of the biggest icons of Catalan culture at your own leisure. The Monastery of Montserrat is a place of pilgrimage and a must-see if you are visiting Barcelona. With this transport-only option, you can choose whether to visit the monastery, explore the hiking routes or, for those well-organised, why not do both!

Fall in love with the architecture of the Basilica which combines Gothic and Renaissance styles. Observe its atrium and its sacristy as well as an interesting permanent exhibition on the image of the Virgin which shows how it has changed over the years. In the audiovisual exhibition, you will also have the opportunity to appreciate the talents of the singers, composers and teachers that make up the Choir of Montserrat.

On the free time, visit the Museum of Montserrat. Although the majority was lost during the Napoleonic War, the museum gathers a valuable set of artistic elements that you cannot miss. See objects related to the countries listed in the Bible, such as Mesopotamia, Cyprus, Egypt and Palestine, and admire an ancient collection of paintings from the 13th to the 18th century, in which you will find works by artists such as El Greco, Morales, Berruguete or Caravaggio.

Before leaving back to Barcelona, don’t forget to enjoy the flavors of the mountains with a tasting of Montserrat liquors.
