Overview

Begin your journey to the iconic mountain of Montserrat in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.

Upon arrival, take part in a 45-minute guided tour to uncover Montserrat’s history and hidden stories, with time at the farmer’s market and entry into the basilica. Afterwards, enjoy around two hours of free time, with tips on activities such as visiting the museum, tasting the monastery’s homemade liquor, walking to Saint Miguel Cross, or riding the Sant Joan Funicular.
