Montserrat & Sagrada Família in a Day with Express Access & Private Coach Trip

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Abadia de Montserrat, Carretera BP-1121 S/N, 08199 Montserrat Spain

Your guide, an English-speaking local expert, will pick you up from Barcelona’s Plaça d’Espanya in a private coach. As you travel in air-conditioned comfort to mountainous Montserrat national park, your guide will prime you with historical insights into the park and its Benedictine monastery. With early access all arranged, you’ll enter majestic Montserrat Abbey long before the crowds. The hush makes this the ideal time to view the world-famous Virgin of Montserrat, or ‘Black Madonna’. Legend has it that, unable to move the wooden icon, the Benedictine monks built the abbey around it.

Before the coach leaves Montserrat, you’ll have time to tour the museum, browse the shops for local honey and herbal liqueurs, or even take the cable car higher for a better view of the mountain peaks.

Duration: 5 hours

Stop At: Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Carrer de Mallorca, 401, 08013 Barcelona Spain

After the drive back, you’ll have a little more time near the Sagrada Família to stretch your legs and find some lunch. The view may seem familiar: the basilica’s architect, the visionary Antoni Gaudí, was inspired by the peaks of Montserrat.

With Skip-the-Line Access, you’ll head straight inside the Sagrada Família without a wasted moment. Your guide will help you make sense of the bizarre mix of architectural styles, textures, shapes, and forms. You’ll learn all about Gaudí’s passion for his final work, and the tragedy that prevented him from seeing it through. Still unfinished after more than 100 years, this unique work of devotion can’t fail to touch you.

Duration: 1 hour
