Description

Head out of the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and into the magnificent mountains of Monserrat. Walk through this enchanting landscape, explore the monastery and learn about it's history with a guide. First you will arrive at a bar in the city center of Barcelona where you will meet your guide for the day who will travel up to the mountains with you. After an informative short bus ride out of the city, arrive at the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Site of Montserrat. After you have arrived in Montserrat, you will enjoy a tour of the local monastery and hear about its incredible history. The tour then ends with tickets to the basilica included, before your 3 hours of free time begins. You can either go hiking in the magical hills, feast on an all-you-can-eat lunch looking out over mystical views, or explore the museum and further discover the history of this famous landmark. However, we personally recommend a trip up the funicular (cost not included). After a couple of hours, rejoin the bus where you will then head back down into the city all in time for an evening in Barcelona. You will arrive back 6 hours after departure. *Please note* that due to people from all cultures visiting, we get many questions about what is included due a confusion in terminology- 'The Monastery' is the entire multi building complex on the mountainside, including a variety of different places to explore and not to be confused with the single building in which the monks live. This is what the tour is of. 'The Basilica' is the literal interior space of the church/cathedral/temple. This is included. 'The Throne Room' is where the Black Madonna is located. This is not included.
