Overview

Mobile ticket
Montserrat Natural Park is located 50 kms away from Barcelona. We get there enjoying the amazing and UNIque views from our fully equipped private transportation.
The first place we will visit in Montserrat’s Natural Park is its Benedictine Monastery, first built on the 11th century and home to Catalonia’s Patroness Saint, The Black Madonna of Montserrat which is a strong symbol of spirituality and unity for the local people.
Once we have visited the Monastery area, we hike up to the top, from where we will enjoy the breath-taking views of the Natural Park and most of the territory.
During the hike we walk on the same paths used by pilgrims hundreds of years ago, we will get inspired by Montserrat’s fascinating flora and fauna and we will also hike on UNIque ways where rocky pillars and ravines show us how inner mysterious water emerge from the hidden and undiscovered very center of the massif.
Back down in the Monastery, we have some free time before we head back to Barcelona.

5.00Unforgettable Experience at Montserrat! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did several tours with Viator while staying in Barcelona, but this was by far the most fun and the one I enjoyed the most. Our guide, Jesús, picked us up at a central location and drove us up to the mountain. From there, half of the group chose to hike while the others took the funicular. The hike is definitely strenuous, but absolutely worth it — the views are breathtaking! Jesús was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both informative and enjoyable. I would highly, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona. Whether you hike or ride the funicular, Montserrat is a must-see!
What a beautiful scenery, hike, and holy experience.

5.00Jordi was an excellent guide that gave us a good hiking experience as well as information about the monastery. We felt we had a great informative session and he engaged our teenage daughters. He modified the hike up to the top of the mountain based on our skill level and also allowed girls to do some scrambling up the rocks. The views were great and we had a wonderful time. I came back to Barcelona specifically to do this hiking experience and it was totally worth it.
Quiet escape of the city to a quiet and fun place

5.00This is a 'must-do' trip from Barcelona! Our guide, Frank, was not only knowledgeable but also a professional mountain guide, and we felt safe hiking the surrounding area with him. Montserrat is stunning, but a tour is much more enjoyable when your guide is invested and interested in his or her tour group. I highly recommend Tours by Uni, and I am sure all the guides are uniquely qualified to make your tour special.
Great experience with...
