Montserrat is Definitely a Must! - Walking around the area and shopping. The funicular to the top of the mountain was definitely a high light! The choir boys.

An easy and comfortable way to visit Montserrat! - A brillliant way to visit Montserrat! We met our guide Francesco at a bus stop just near the Gothic Quarter. The bus was comfortable and took us directly to the Montserrat monastery (so no need for the cable car). We had an hour guided tour around the outside of the monastery, with lots of interesting facts from Francesco. We sufficient free time to walk to the Crosses view point and visit the Basillica. Make sure to buy tickets for the basilica before hand. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking for carefree travel to Montserrat for the day.
