[2025 Barcelona Attraction] Travel Guide for Montserrat (Updated Jan)

#2024wish In last year January, I have been one of the famous city in Spain and that is Barcelona ! During that time, I have been Montserrat to see the mountain, walking around the black Madonna and so on. I learnt about the history and admired the beautiful view in there. After the Montserrat , I have been the seaside to watch the sea with my friends and spent a lovely time in there to chat. I really miss there and I can’t wait to go back in April ! #tripcom

Montserrat is one of the stunning natural landscape near to Barcelona. In this place, you can explore different spot in there, such as the Black Madonna, the local market and the monastery. I have been this place last week and i really like the landscape in here as I am able to see the whole view of Montserrat and the mountains in here are insane ! If you are near to Barcelona or either in Barcelona, please come to visit !

I always adore mountain and sea, loving nature and adventure like hiking. Barcelona is famous for football, but people seldom notice of it's nature side. De-Montserrat is super high mountain located at Spain. You can reach it by train. It's better to come during sunny days even though it may be hot. Explore the area and take one day to adore the building and nature around. View from top is amazing. It's cold but not like winter. Would be perfect if you have friends to tag along with. I tag my local friend to accompany me in this trip. It's good if you have someone who can speak spanish. #triptoeurope #explorer #spain #discovereurope #exploreeurope #barcelonatravel #mountain #urbanexplorer

Getting There - At España rail station, look for R5 headed towards Manteca. Attractions - It is near Barcelona, with beautiful Benedictine monk mountain retreat. There are unusual rock formations at this place. You could have taken cable car or drive up to a mountain, this venue gives a new experience by taking a train up to a mountain. The view along the way is spectacular!

If you visit Barcelona, don't forget to dedicate one day to see Montserrat and set off early. Easy DIY for me, but I went out late for my travel to the this sanctuary. Could've savor the place more coz sitting and just watching the place and the mountains if just relaxing. I went in December so it's a bit windy and cold, but tolerable at 15-20 degrees. Overall, I loved it. ❤️🥹 #jelaitravels

🧗 Montserrat, just an hour from bustling Barcelona, is an absolute gem for nature lovers, history buffs, and spiritual seekers alike! Known for its stunning mountain range, this spot is home to the Benedictine Monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, an architectural marvel nestled among surreal rock formations. Inside, you’ll find the famous Black Madonna statue, a revered religious icon. For those into hiking, Montserrat offers multiple scenic trails with varying levels of difficulty. The St. Joan funicular takes you up to higher altitudes for panoramic views, and from there, you can hike to San Jeroni – the highest point of Montserrat, with jaw-dropping views of Catalonia. If you prefer a leisurely walk, there are easier trails near the monastery itself, perfect for enjoying the natural beauty without a strenuous climb. 💡 Travel Tips: Start your trip early to avoid crowds at the monastery and trails. Check the schedule of the Montserrat Boys' Choir, as their heavenly voices are a highlight. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and don't forget your camera – the views are truly picture-perfect! #voyagevibes #barcelona #hike

What a breathtaking place! The monestart on top is so beautiful and the view is stunning!

#2024wish In last summer holiday 2023, I have been Barcelona again to visit and go sightseeing with my family. I will say the architecture in Barcelona are amazing and they all look unique and attractive. The colours and design are great. Furthermore, I have been a mountain which is called Montserrat which is 1 hour closed to Barcelona. This mountain is gigantic and huge!! Overall, it was a good trip and I couldn’t wait to come to visit again. #Barcelona

#wheretogo When visiting Barcelona in Spain, one of the top attractions not to be missed is the Santa Maria de Monserrat Abbey, located a couple of hours’ drive away from Barcelona. This is a Benedictine monastery with beautiful architecture. Whether you are religious or not, visiting the Black Madonna (wooden sculpture) at Montserrat is a spiritual and worthwhile experience. You will join in line with a group of people, many of whom have come as pilgrims to the statue. The Monastery is also located on top of Montserrat mountain with fantastic panaromic views. Well worth a visit as the outstanding views are just breathtaking! My rating of this attraction: 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5!

#beachvacation#mountainview we decided to scape from the heat of Barcelona and make a short trip to Montserrat. it is a Monastery on the top of the mountains about 1 hour and 20 minutes by train from Barcelona. There is the option of getting the Zip train, or the funicular, similar to those cabins form the ski resorts that take you up to the mountain. I recommend this second option, the views are amazing. On the top you will have some shops and restaurant, there are also hiking routes from where you will see all he valley.

Montserrat

#fallingforfall I never imagined I would be doing some form of hiking during my trip to Barcelona. That's exactly what I did when I visited Montserrat. Montserrat is a multi-peaked mountain range near Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain. It's one of the most unique mountains I have ever seen. Not only the mountains are a spectacle, the monastery on top is also a majestic views. As for the hiking, I wanted to do so cause I wanted to reach the peak of the mountain. I was so glad that I did so because it was such a beautiful sight from up there, having a panoramic view of the city. The cool weather made the hiking less stressful too.
