Montserrat Day Trip

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!
