Montserrat Highlights with Black Madonna & Cogwheel Train

We introduce you to our only tour focused exclusively on the fascinating Montserrat mountain range, located just one hour from Barcelona. Accompanied by an English-speaking local guide, you will discover all the highlights of this iconic destination in a single morning. Join us and be amazed by the breathtaking views surrounding this majestic 11th-century monastery.

Meet us in central Barcelona and board one of our comfortable coaches as part of a small group led by a Castlexperience local guide. We will head towards the foothills of Montserrat, where you’ll enjoy one of the most popular experiences of the visit: the scenic cogwheel train ride up to the monastery. The views along the way are truly unforgettable. The cogwheel train will take you right into the heart of the mountain, arriving at the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey.

Your local guide will share fascinating insights into the site’s history and significance. Feel free to ask any questions — our guides are experts on the area and will also help you decide how best to spend your free time afterwards.

Access to the Black Madonna’s Throne is included in the tour. In addition, you will have free time to explore Montserrat at your own pace: visit the impressive art museum featuring works by artists such as Dalí or Caravaggio, take a funicular to reach higher areas of the mountain, or simply hike along one of the many trails and enjoy the scenery.

After this enriching experience, relax on the journey back to Barcelona, where you’ll be dropped off at the same central location where the tour began.
