No visit to Barcelona would be complete without taking a day out to visit amazing Montserrat, which you can easily access by public transport in around two hours (one hour by road). The town is dwarfed by the massive Montserrat Mountain – you can reach the summit by taking a 15 min cable car ride. Highlights of your visit to Montserrat include seeing the legendary Black Virgin statue (which is believed to have mystic powers) in the Basilica of Montserrat (free entrance), the beautiful and serene Benedictine Abbey and the Art Museum of Montserrat. You can take a funicular railway to the amazing Rosari Monumental, where you can admire religious sculptures by several famous Catalan Modernists, including Gaudi. If art and religion are not to your liking you can simply explore the exceptional mountain area on foot.
