Montserrat Day Trip
Explore the impressive mountain range and visit the Grand
Basilica
|
Discover the majestic Montserrat mountains on a day trip from
Barcelona. Visit the basilica with its 12th-century carving of the Black
Virgin and you may even be lucky enough to see Europe's oldest children's choir - La Escolania.
After driving through picturesque little villages we will arrive at the
incomparable setting of the impressive mountain range of Montserrat, which rises
majestically from the plains to 4,051 feet (1,235 meters) and offers spectacular
views.
The basilica of Montserrat has been one of Spain's most important
pilgrimage sites for hundreds of years because of its famous 12th-century
Romanesque carving of the the Black Virgin. At 1pm on weekdays there is a
wonderful opportunity to hear La Escolania, one of Europe's oldest children's
choirs.
While at Montserrat, there is an option to ride to the top of the mountain on
the rack railway for panoramic views, and enjoy the monastery's audiovisual
presentation (you need to indicate this in the form below).
On our way back to Barcelona we will make a stop at the harbor, where you can
visit the Barcelona Aquarium (entrance fee not included). There are a variety of
restaurants, cafes, shops and cinemas around this area, so you can choose to
conclude the tour here and continue to explore on your own.
For visitors to Barcelona, the most popular tour outside the city
is the day trip to Montserrat. If you have the time for a day trip we highly recommend visiting Montserrat.
We hope to see you soon!
