Description

Discover the best of Barcelona and the breathtaking Montserrat mountain in one unforgettable day. Begin your adventure with a guided walking tour through the atmospheric Gothic Quarter and El Born, where you’ll admire the intricate façades of historic landmarks like the Cathedral of Barcelona and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar.

After exploring the charming old streets, relax on a panoramic drive through the city. Enjoy spectacular views as you ascend Montjuïc by cable car, passing by Montjuïc Castle and pausing at the MNAC viewpoint for a unique perspective of Barcelona’s skyline and Olympic history.

Continue your journey along the elegant Paseo de Gracia, where you’ll see two of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. Then, travel by comfortable coach to Montserrat, a stunning national park known for its dramatic rock formations and spiritual significance.

Ride the cogwheel train up the mountain for sweeping views before exploring the monastery and basilica. Visit the revered Black Madonna, known as La Moreneta, and savor a tasting of four local liqueurs. Tours are led by expert guides in English and Spanish, ensuring a rich and informative experience.

The tour lasts approximately ten hours and departs from Estació del Nord. Please arrive 15 minutes early and dress appropriately for visiting the basilica. This experience is suitable for most fitness levels, but be prepared for some walking and changing mountain weather. Secure your spot now and immerse yourself in the wonders of Barcelona and Montserrat!
