Sit back and admire the picturesque villages that dot Barcelona's countryside and lead to towering Montserrat. Rising 4,051 feet (1,235 m) from the ground, Montserrat offers plenty of opportunities for great views and memorable photos of the Catalan landscape.

This place is rich in cultural and religious history. When visiting the museum, you can admire an extensive collection of modern paintings, with artwork by Dalí, Picasso, and Monet, just to mention a few.

One of Montserrat's draws is the Royal Basilica, an important pilgrimage site in Spain for centuries and home to one of the oldest boys' choirs in Europe. Listen to your guide's detailed narration about Montserrat's past and its place in the present before heading toward the “Inside Montserrat” audiovisual exhibit, where you can get more information about Montserrat itself.
