Montserrat

It's a great choice for a day trip here if you are visiting Barcelona. It's an hour away and there are many tours that will bus you here and back. Not much to eat or do here other than the church and some great scenery so on second thought maybe good for a half day trip.

The view is breathtaking and amazing. The cathedral interior was unbelievably beautiful. We did not have enough time to explore the museum in full, but just the church and the view of the cliff alone was already enough to take our breath away.

Very beautiful church, museum and scenery. It is definitely one of the places you need to visit when you are in Barcelona. We also bought the ticket for the boys choir and it is lovely.

We booked via a tour company " Julia " We arrived via coach, then caught the train up . The tour guide was very informative about the history. Took in such amazing views. Entering the church area was stunning and beautiful, and the craftsmanship of it all was wow! When I entered to view the black Madonna, I got very emotional. It felt such an honour to be there and see the statue. Further on, I was able to light a candle in memory of my mum. Small candles 2.50 euro or 3.50 euro ( I did this one ) where you donate the money and place candle and light. We walked around more, to the shop below. There is a restaurant/ cage where you can eat or get a drink. When walking to our coach, we walked past the area / building where the priests reside. Overall, an amazing place to visit. I would go again. You can make your own way there, or do what we did via travel company ( made it less stressful for us)

Beautiful creation of God! There are so many great trails, and it is all so breathtaking! I went on a foggy day but you can see there's beauty in it all!

Really unique place to visit. The mountains are spectacular and the monastery nestled into the mountain feels unreal. Everywhere you look are great views of the surrounding mountains and hills.

Visited the mountain on a rainy day. It was still very beautiful and definitely worth it to take a day trip outside of Barcelona city to visit. As a part of a tour group we had three hours here but we could easily spend a full day here.

It is a very beautiful Basilica. It is one of the nicer ones we've been to, it has a lot of ornate architecture with a lot of mosaics. There is a lot of hard workmanship, with a lot of skilled labour. It is a building built a very unique location on top of a mountain with breathtaking views of the countryside.
