This guided tour departs from Barcelona and takes you to two highlights in one day: Montserrat Monastery, Catalonia's sacred mountain sanctuary, and Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Família. In the morning, ride a bus and a rack railway up to Montserrat, learn about the history and architecture of the Benedictine monastery with your guide, and taste a liqueur made by the monks. After free time back in Barcelona, skip the ticket line to enter the Sagrada Família and listen to your guide's commentary. Round-trip transportation to Montserrat, the train ticket and the Sagrada Família entry ticket are all included, so there is nothing extra to arrange.
The tour departs at 7:45 AM from Amigo Tours Reception Point in central Barcelona. It consists of two separate tours: Montserrat Monastery in the morning and the Sagrada Família in the afternoon, and each tour may have a different guide. Guiding is in two languages, English and Spanish.
After about 1 hour by bus, take the rack railway for about 15 minutes up to the mountaintop monastery. Enjoy views of the Catalan Coastal Range from the train.
For about 1 hour, learn about the monastery's history and architecture with your guide as you see the beautiful atrium and sacristy. In the audiovisual room, learn about the monastery's choir and education, and visit the Throne of the Virgin. A tasting of liqueur made by the monks is also included.
The bus ride back to Barcelona takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, followed by about 2 hours of free time. At 3:15 PM, meet your guide at the same meeting point and head to the Sagrada Família.
For about 1 hour 30 minutes, go inside the unfinished basilica and learn about the symbolism of the Holy Family, the contrasting façades, the features of its architectural styles and why it is still unfinished. Headsets help you hear the guide clearly, and after the guided tour you have about 30 minutes to explore on your own.
※ Entry to the Sagrada Família towers is not included.
※ The itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
