Montserrat Trip & Rack Railway Train

Set off on a journey to Montserrat from Barcelona, taking the traditional rack railway train to Montserrat Abbey, one of Spain’s important religious sites.

Montserrat Half-Day Trip & Rack Railway Train Ride

Leaving Barcelona by bus, we will travel inland for about an hour before taking the Montserrat rack railway train. This 15-minute ride ascends to nearly 2,000 feet (600 meters) with stunning scenery views.

Upon arrival at the Montserrat Sanctuary, known for its rocky surroundings and the miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary in a mountain cave, we will visit the Basilica, home to the twelfth-century ‘Virgen Moreneta’, Catalonia’s patron saint and a key pilgrimage site in Spain.

After exploring the basilica, you will have free time to sample typical liquors from Montserrat and visit Montserrat’s Espai Audio Visual Museum if desired. We will then return to Barcelona to conclude the tour.

Itinerary Adjustments

Please note that the order of visits may change, though all locations will be included.

Aeri Cable Car

During booking, you can opt to reach Montserrat via the Aeri cable car in the afternoon tour. This option is not accessible for those with reduced mobility; they must select the rack railway train ride instead.
