Things to do in Montserrat

An hour northwest of Barcelona, the serrated Montserrat massif holds an 11th-century Benedictine monastery, La Moreneta (the Black Madonna), a boys' choir and hiking trails with views across Catalonia. You can DIY with a combined train-and-rack-railway ticket, but guided tours that pair the monastery with a Penedès winery are excellent value. These are the best-rated Montserrat tours from Barcelona.
