Overview

Escape the bustle of Barcelona with a guided bus tour to the breathtaking Montserrat mountains.

Meet your guide in the city center and enjoy a short, scenic bus ride to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon arrival, explore the stunning mountainside monastery and learn its rich history.

The tour ends with an included ticket to the basilica.

After which you then have your 3 hours free time: hike the hills, savour a buffet lunch with panoramic views, or visit the museum. We recommend taking the funicular (extra cost) for unforgettable vistas.

After your adventure, return to Barcelona in the afternoon, 6 hours after departure.

Be aware that in the summer months the transport is normally a coach, and in the winter is usually a minibus.

Please note:

"Monastery" refers to the entire complex, not just where monks live. This is included in the tour

"Basilica" (literal church interior) is included

"Throne Room" with the Black Madonna is not included.
