A route from Barcelona to discover Catalonia's most emblematic mountain, where the sanctuary and the abbey that houses the popular Black Madonna, known as the Moreneta, are located. A route on which you get to enjoy a performance by the Escolania de Montserrat choir, as well as guaranteed access to visit the Moreneta.

Fantastic trip. Alex our guide was very good and extremely informative. Dani was our driver and we felt safe. Montserrat is beautiful, not only the Basillica and Boys choir but the rock formations and views. The museum and Art gallery have pieces by great artists Picasso, Dali and Caravaggio.

Nice and helpful tour guide and good bus.
BUT, they didn't tell us when we reserved that the famous Boys Choir concert, which was important and we paid for it, would not take place during Easter Week. We would have booked a cheaper tour without it or just gone ourselves at much less money. Also the tour guide left us on our own for many hours without guiding.

the tour guide's stories, his ability to answer all kinds of questions, lots of time to explore the area and hear the boys choir. The interactive video was also good. The bus ride was comfortable, and the tour guide talked about the areas as we were driving. Good value for the price of the tour.

We booked a TUI all day trip to Montserrat from La Pineda which was well worth it. Bus picked us up at 9 a.m. & the ride was around 90 mins. Teresa, TUI rep was excellent throughout the day as well as the tour guide within the Sacristy/Basilica. Also, had free time to roam/visit whatever you wanted. The price included the train up to Montserrat, audio tour, schnapps tasting & entry to the Basilica which allowed fast track entry.... Well worth visiting the Black Madonna. There are some local market stalls selling food produce which are on the way to the Restaurant & coach parking area. We had a lovely cheese & ham baguette in the cafeteria which had plenty of seating. There are couple of gift shops & there are toilets across from the Post Office & near the Restaurant. Spectacular views. Bus left at 4 pm. We would have liked more time here really to enjoy this fabulous place.

Experiencing the pure air in those mountains, and seeing those beautiful rock formations. The basilica was also awesome with the Moreneta virgin (black virgin).
Also the spiritual boys’s choir singing inside the church. It is an all around great experience.

A visit to Montserrat from Barcelona is not to be missed, but you have to leave a full day to see everything. You must get there particularly early before the crowds so you don't end up queuing everywhere to see the sights and leave the hiking and mountain views until afterwards to do at your leisure. If you're travelling from Barcelona - as I did - and you plan on doing lots of things here for the whole day - as I did - then it's worthwhile getting the 45€ Monserrat card. Firstly, this card allows you to take the metro from Barcelona to the train station, then the train to Montserrat, then either the rack railway or cable car to the main square, then unlimited rides on either funicular up and down. If you buy everything separately it will cost you more and it's a major hassle queuing for tickets. Be sure to go to see the Black Madonna firs and avoid the long queues followed by the Basilica. Everything after this can be done in whatever order you wish as there's usually no queuing involved for the other sites. The square in front of the Basilica is pretty, and a short 20 minute walk to Sant Miquel's Cross is a must see. Take the funicular to see where the story started of the Black Madonna and go to the chapel and cave of Santa Cova. I also did a bit of trekking just for glorious photos of the vistas from the mountains. There's also some nice little things to see such as the sculptures wall to the side of the Basilica on the main square and the Stairway to Heaven monument.
