Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime day trip to Montserrat from Barcelona and explore Catalonia's most famous mountain range. Take in the panoramic views of the mountain scenery as you ride the cogwheel train and discover the history of its medieval monastery with your passionate guides.
Hear about the rich history of the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, an 11th-century functioning monastery built on the mountain. Marvel at the ornate interior of the monastery with the included tickets. Then, enjoy free time to explore on your own.
Book your time slot to visit the famous Black Madonna (included in some options), get tickets to hear the Boy's Choir, or see paintings by Picasso, El Greco, and Dalí at the Montserrat Museum. Ride the funicular train up the side of the mountain for even better views. None of these activities are included in the tour. With the exception of the funicular, they must be booked in advance.
If you booked the half-day tour option, you will return to Barcelona after the visit to Montserrat. If you choose the full-day tour option, continue towards a beautiful boutique winery that also happens to be a 10th-century castle. Explore this idyllic location, owned by the same family for 36 generations, with magnificent views of the mountain you just visited.
Savour traditional flavors with a light tapas brunch or enjoy a multi-course traditional lunch at the winery (depending on the option selected). After, wander around the vineyards, learn about the wine-making process, and enjoy a wine-tasting session before traveling back to Barcelona.
