Magnifcent monument. Must see. I recomend train from Barça and cable car. You can buy combined ticket. Easy. Tickets for Basilica and other are available on spot without waiting. At 13.00 hrs every working day there is a short concert from Boys choir. Must se and listen. It's beautifull. Like Walking on clouds. After you must touch the Earth in Black Madona right hand. At last I recenzent visita a wiewpoint at St. Mathew's cross. On spot can be chilly. This is the place that I'll deffinetly visit again.
So beautiful! We were with a tour group and had timed entry into the basilica, but had flexibility for going into the museum. Not sure how it is done for individuals.
We went here on a tour and I was so happy we did. I loved it that the vendors as you approach the monastery are descendants of those who sold the same cheeses and products decades if not eons ago. The Black Madonna was an inspiring experience and we really enjoyed the art museum as well. I have never seen it even referenced but it was amazing.
One of the most beautiful places I have visited in Barcelona Spain! Highly recommend everyone to come! We took the train cable car up to the mountain! Not many tourists were there! The views are absolutely breathtaking The cathedral was sooo beautiful and peaceful! ☺️
Beatiful views, nice walking trails, The basilica and Black Madonna are a must when you visit here, you can take the funicular up the mountain from the visitor center. The outside parking is a bit of a walk and costs 7 euros. You can also park under the basilica for 10 euros for the first 3 hours or for 14 euroa for over 3 hours and up to 24 hours. Convenient for those who have trouble walking or finding parking outside.
Roger was a great guide and knows a lot about Montserrat and the surrounding areas. Laura was very helpful with the horses. What a beautiful ride!
The day trip was amazing. The horseback riding was a small group of 4 people and that made it such a fun relaxing experience. The Monastery was stunning and Catya was an excellent tour guide. She took the time to answer all our questions and we had a great time.
Very excellent tour. Would have liked a bit more time at the Monastery, but understand the time was shorted because of the unusual bike race there and need to transport via tram rather than car. Thank you so much, Jeff and Rita
Han and Mar were great! Unfortunately weather wasn’t in our favor but still had an awesome time. The horseback riding was my absolute favorite. Everyone at the ranch was very kind.
I am originally from Barcelona and this was one of the funnest activities I've done so far of this kind. it was a sweet horse ride, very casual and safe. The horses are very well behaved and the guides don't leave your side. (unless the lead rider knows how to control the horse, in which case they can help others in the middle of the line) They know that if they control the lead horse and the back that the horses will follow each other without issues. (and I have intermediate experience with horses and helped run a riding program in the USA) I am very safety conscious. I think a tip to help this barn support it's horsed with hay prices that are through the roof should be considered, optimal of course. The horses are not spooky, we had bikes pass and cars close by. it's beautiful in the spring especially. The time allotted for Montserrat is too short. I recommend adding an hour even if you raise the price. The bus/van accomodations were very well planned. This trip of the nature lovers.
