The mountain and monastery of Montserrat is surely one of the most beautiful destinations to visit in Catalonia. Here you can book a private, approx. 5-hour long tour with English-speaking guide. You will be picked up directly at your hotel for this unforgettable trip.
This is also ideal as a departure event: we will take you straight to the airport or your ship after the trip.
The journey takes you from your hotel in Barcelona along a beautiful mountain path to the monastery of Montserrat, with a unique and unforgettable panoramic view.
The Montserrat mountain range lies approx. 45 km north-west of Barcelona. From the Santa Maria de Montserrat Benedictine monastery – one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Spain – you can enjoy the fantastic view of the natural landscape. The museum within the monastery houses a large collection of works from important artists, such as Dalí, El Greco, Monet or Giordano. After the museum you can take the cable car further up to the top and enjoy a breath-taking view of the surrounding area from the summit station.
