What you can expect

  • Discover Montserrat on this fully guided, eco-friendly day trip from Barcelona. This tour includes zero-emissions electric transport, a professional local guide specialised in Montserrat, and priority access to key sites — offering one of the most complete and sustainable experiences available.

    Meet your guide at the centrally-located Hotel Catalonia MWC Plaza Espanya and begin your journey aboard an electric train through the scenic Catalan countryside. Ascend Montserrat’s mountain with the included cable car, offering breathtaking panoramic views.

    At the summit, enjoy a guided walking tour of the Montserrat Monastery and surroundings, learning about its deep spiritual and historical significance. Benefit from priority access to the Basilica and visit the Throne of the Virgin (Black Madonna) — the spiritual heart of Montserrat — where you’ll follow the tradition of making a wish.

    After the tour, enjoy 1.5 hours of free time to explore the mountain, take photos, or enjoy a coffee with a view. Then, descend via the Cremallera cogwheel train, another low-emission ride that winds beautifully through the mountain.

    Return to Barcelona by electric train, arriving back near the MNAC, Poble Espanyol, and Olympic Stadium — perfectly located for continued exploration.

    This is an intimate small group experience, perfect for travellers who enjoy learning in a relaxed, personal atmosphere — and a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow explorers from around the world.

    Itinerary may vary slightly on certain days due to logistics or local conditions. The schedule is carefully designed to avoid long queues and help you enjoy your time in Montserrat in the most efficient and pleasant way possible.
