Girona & Montserrat Full-Day Trip from Barcelona

Begin your 11-hour excursion from Barcelona with a comfortable bus ride with your guide on board. Your destination is Girona, a medieval city with one of the best preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe.

Experience the history of Girona in the small streets of the old city center, where you’ll enjoy a guided walking tour, visiting the Cathedral and strolling along the well-preserved medieval streets that lead to the famous pastel-colored houses at the edge of the river. You’ll also have some free time to enjoy the city on your own.

The second part of the tour takes you to the mountain of Montserrat which rises majestically to 4,051 feet (1,236 meters). You have the opportunity to take in breathtaking views of the Montserrat Mountain, one of nature’s unique creations.

Take a ride up Montserrat on the cogwheel train, which drops you off at the Monastery. During the 15-minute ride you’ll have spectacular views of the mountain from the panoramic windows of the train.

Visit the Royal Basilica of Montserrat that houses the 12th-century romanesque carving of the Verge Moreneta (the Black Madonna).

You’ll have some free time to take in the audiovisual exhibition about the history and creation of Montserrat and to taste typical liqueurs of Montserrat, made by local monks. Both of these activities are included in the tour price.
