About this tour
Travel by coach from central Barcelona to Montserrat, a jagged mountain range sculpted by millions of years of geological drama. This 5.5-hour outing explores the National Park's rocky peaks and spiritual heart, home to the Benedictine monastery and its famous Boys' Choir. You'll walk through key sites with a radio guide, dip into the audiovisual exhibition, and sample four regional liquors that capture the flavour of Catalonia.
Highlights
- Montserrat's distinctive serrated granite formations and National Park landscape
- Benedictine monastery complex and optional Boys' Choir performance
- Audiovisual exhibition revealing the mountain's natural and cultural significance
- Skip-the-line access to the Black Madonna basilica (optional)
- Tasting flight of four local liqueurs
- Bilingual tour with personal radio guide system
What to expect
You'll board a coach in Barcelona's city centre and head out to Montserrat's dramatic rock towers. Once there, a guide walks you through the monastery grounds and the exhibition space, which tells the mountain's story through film and displays. The Boys' Choir performance is available as an add-on if you want that experience. You'll have time to explore the grounds, visit the basilica (with skip-the-line option), and sample four regional liqueurs that reflect local production traditions. The tour suits most fitness levels, though expect uneven paths and stairs around the monastery.
