31 Best Things to Do in Barcelona
test
@goop

"Although there is plenty to do in Barcelona, Montserrat makes a good day trip outside of the city. About 50 kilometers northwest of the city, you can get there via train in a little over an hour. The mountain is home to the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, which can feel overrun with tourists at times, particularly near the statue of Catalonia's iconic saint, La Morenetta (the Black Virgin). For outdoors lovers, the real draw is Montserrat's hiking trails, which unwind above the monastery, and afford stunning views of the jagged, rocky cliff faces—and, as you climb higher—Catalonia sprawled out below."

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.

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.

If you have never been to this magical place, you're definitely missing out on one of the most breathtaking places on earth. The ride itself is fantastic, but the views from the bottom and the top are to die for. Try to avoid peak tourist season if you can.

Montserrat is incredible place offering an amazing views. It was foggy on the day we visited and felt like we were above the clouds in the sky. Basilica and Black Madonna is a must see when there. Had a liquor tasting and interesting shops. A couple of cafes and even buffet restaurant.

Amazing place with wonderful views. Come prepared with suitable shoes if you're planning on climbing the mounting and a bottle of water. It takes around 4h if you want to reach to the top of the mountain so plan your day.

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.
