Which admission ticket did you choose for Monserrat in Barcelona?

Posted by Myec (USA) on 01/15/24 05:23 PM

Hi,

I am planning to visit Monserrat Abbey in Barcelona in April and saw a couple of options for admission (https://tickets.montserratvisita.com/en).
I was wondering how you liked the visit overall, how many hours you spent, and if you attended "Escolania" Boys' choir, what your impression was.

Also, as for the transportation,
I read from Rick Steve’s book and elsewhere: take train the R5 line from Plaça Espanya in Barcelona to Monistrol de Montserrat. 1hr, €11.50 round trip) https://transitapp.com/en/region/barcelona/fgc/commuter-rail-r5, https://www.fgc.cat/en/) . Let me know if you recommend other ways or have tips in general.

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps I should elaborate my question better for response:)
I read somewhere watching the singing of Escolania is free but on the website it appears a separate admission ticket with added fees(https://tickets.montserratvisita.com/en/357-tickets/4022-visit-montserrat-and-singing-of-the-escolania/info).
- Can you tell me which one you ended up doing and if the singing was worth to stay?
- After seeing most things, what time did you get back to Barcelona? Is Monserrat Abbey 1-day or 1/2 itinerary? Thank you!

Hi Myec,

I'm planning to go to Montserrat as well, and found a dated post that helped immensely, so I reposted with some updated information that may be helpful: https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/spain/repost-all-you-want-to-know-about-montserrrat
