Just an hour from Barcelona lies Montserrat Natural Park, one of Catalonia's most iconic massifs, surrounded by the Llobregat and Noya rivers. Its breathtaking landscapes make it a must-visit destination in the region, drawing hiking, climbing, and caving enthusiasts as much as those who simply love nature. But the park's greatest attraction is undoubtedly the Montserrat monastery and abbey, built in the 12th century and home to La Moreneta. So if you would like to discover this exceptional place from Barcelona, without having to worry about how to get there, don't miss this excursion with a guided tour of Montserrat Monastery and a hike via the Sant Joan funicular!
This adventure exploring the remarkable Montserrat Abbey, perched at 720 metres above sea level in the Catalan mountains, is brought to you by the Tours by Uni team, based in the centre of Barcelona. Aboard their private van, reserved exclusively for your small group of up to 8 participants, you will reach Montserrat in under an hour. There, you will take the Sant Joan panoramic funicular, visit the abbey that is home to the patron saint of Catalonia, La Moreneta, and then set off on an easy 1 to 2-hour hike. Finally, you will have some free time around the monastery area to explore and browse the local farmer's market, the perfect chance to pick up a little souvenir from your Montserrat discovery experience.
So what are you waiting for? Leave the hustle and bustle of Barcelona behind and breathe in the fresh Catalan mountain air on this excursion with a guided tour of Montserrat Monastery, a scenic funicular ride, and a hike through Montserrat Natural Park!
