Trans Montserrat: The Best Way to Visit Montserrat from Barcelona.

The Trans Montserrat Card offers everything you need for a memorable day trip to Montserrat. Explore the stunning natural landscapes of the holy mountain, discover the Benedictine monastery, and experience Catalonia’s spiritual and cultural heritage at your own pace.

Travel comfortably from Barcelona’s Plaça Espanya by train to Monistrol de Montserrat. Once you reach the foot of the mountain, choose between two spectacular ways to ascend:

At Montserrat, visit the famous Black Madonna (La Moreneta) inside the basilica and explore the audiovisual exhibit "Montserrat Behind Closed Doors," which reveals the daily life of the Benedictine monks.

Enhance your visit with a ride on the Sant Joan funicular to enjoy stunning views stretching from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean Sea.
