售票已改为机器自动售票，台湾部分信用卡无法使用，所以当天是付现买票；坐火车约一个小时多到，黑面圣母早上10:30就关门了，要等到中午才再次开放，早一点去排队才不用排太久；作山中列车若时间不是很多，建议可以选上Sant Joan，往高处爬真的很赞，对于拍照的很值得去；小餐饮多是速食与三明治，价钱不算贵，可以垫垫肚子下山再吃囉。

我们乘火车从巴塞罗那到蒙特塞拉特岛,大约花了一个半小时的时间。我们之所以选择乘火车而不是拦车过去,是因为沿途可以欣赏美丽的风景。修道院广场附近被照看得非常好,从那里可以一眼望尽整个景区。里面有教堂。这里有很棒的博物馆,在这里旅行真是是一场视觉盛宴。午餐让我有点诧异,不过还挺好的。附近也有很多小的礼品店。这天下午的旅行真是愉快极了,值得花时间去一趟。

Monstseraat真是一个观赏风景的好地方。这里的修道院曾经住着圣母玛利亚,但是要看圣母玛利亚一眼,需要排很久的队。在巴塞罗那可以买到火车票、电车票,还可以买到Montseraat山上的火车票。网址:www.earthbounds.com/

我们从巴塞罗那乘火车然后坐缆车上去。我们大约11点到达,11:40在教堂坐下来。去看黑麦当娜的队伍不合理地长。然而在男声唱诗班结束表演后,游客们走了,我们才真正欣赏了修道院,包括爬了一小段山。

那天开始的时候天气很潮湿;那天碰巧是黑圣母斋日。我们不得不挤过成千上万的游客和当地的朝圣者才能进到教堂里面听少年们的合唱。同时,要摸到黑圣母的雕塑要排很长的队。通常要排一个小时才能摸到雕塑。后来雨更大了,而且气温也降低了;我们没带手套,手指开始冻麻了。然后开始起雾,我们看不见缆车了。我们甚至看不清50码外的东西。我们决定去参观博物馆,那里非常有教育意义,让我们的旅行也变得有意义了。我们的旅行券还能让我们在一家零售商店品尝修道院的一些利口酒。这些很棒的酒确实让我们感觉暖和了一点。得到的教训: 选一个不是节日的日子,早上下雨的时候不要出门。

I am glad I had enough time to visit Montserrat during my trip to Barcelona. Since I was short on time, I completed this trip within a half day--and I still felt that this was a good amount of time (if you are fortunate enough to have good weather). If you choose to take the train from Barcelona followed by the cable car, confirm the opening time for the cable car. If you arrive prior to the cable car opening, just know there is nowhere to wait but outside. For me, the main attraction is the view over the hills of Catalonia. The monastery itself is also interesting inside, but I preferred hiking around the grounds to see the surrounding countryside.

Stunning scenery and options to take a cog wheel train up to another area, which we enjoyed. The church is stunning and worth the trip in itself. When you see the queue outside to go up to the Madonna, the queue continues inside along the length of the church and then upstairs, so it could be quite a wait, but a matter of personal preference. If you take a full train trip from Barcelona, there can be several station changes and lifts / escalators are not always available. This is a problem for anyone who has mobility issues or difficulties with stairs. Other options to get there may be worth investigating as it's a great site to visit.

Stunning location and beggars belief how they built this masterpiece.Whole day was a treat free parking at funicular station and a scary ride up to the monastery,but once there the Basilica,Museum and the whole environs makes it special.We took another train up to the heights and apart from being nearly vertical arriving and spending some time at the top looking at the views just made for a great day out.

A nice 15 minute ride on the Cog-Wheel train to the middle of the Monastery will get you to see the famous 12th Century Romanesque carving of the Black Virgin. Don't miss a stop in the gift shop as you will get a chance to taste some of the Monk's Nectar. Well worth the trip.

I heard a lot of stories regarding this place....sightings of aliens, apparitions of Mary & Saints etc...Actually,in my opinion this place hides something...A lot of people go on pilgrimage leaving religious vows, the mountain tops have a weird shape and you clearly see the three shepherds from the main square, long queues to give a kiss to a black ball in the new born Jesus's hand which represent the earth... simply esoteric.Regarding the structure, Montserrat has innovative services; you can reach it via route or via cableway.Once up there you have souvenir shops, restaurant, disable amenities, paths that leading to mountain trails and a superb view.

The cathedral is stunning, and if you have a chance to hear the boys choir, you will feel as though you've had a slice of heaven. Take a walk to the cross for a fantastic view.

i can't really say anything that hasn't been said. The place is amazing. My advice is to make sure you budget enough time to see everything you want. We elected for a 6 mile hike that was breathtaking but added three hours on to the tour. Glad we budgeted the whole day!

Moncerrat monastery is not a usual monastery. It's a wonderful place which can make you wish true. I did not believe but it is real you just need to wish sooo much andtell your wish to the Black Madonna. Becides it looks very inusual and the road to the Moncerrat seems so dangerous cause you will get there by something like a railway road which goes up to the mountain and if you look from the window it's like there is nothing under you. The views are amazing. If you decide to go to Madonna you will need to wait about 1.5 h in a queue. Everyone who wants to make his dream true for a long time but can't do it dont loose hope visit this magic place.

The place you must see, a must do when visiting Barcelona! Well worth a visit. We booked a half day tour via Julia Travels. Our tour guide Eva was brilliant and highly recommended. This place is incredible. Breathtaking scenery, view is amazing, very nice gift shops, market style stands with local products and one of the best churches.
