Frequently asked questions about Montserrat tickets
Trans Montserrat is a transportation ticket. It covers the entire journey from Barcelona: metro, train, rack railroad or cable car and both funiculars. Tot Montserrat includes everything from Trans, plus entry to the Montserrat Museum and a buffet lunch in the monastery restaurant.
The Mountain Ticket combines the train journey from Barcelona with the rack railroad, the museum, an audio guide in 8 languages, a pre-booked time slot for the Throne of the Black Madonna and a liqueur tasting. It does not include a metro or cable car option.
The Cremallera takes 15 minutes up the mountain in comfort with seats - ideal if you are afraid of heights or have children. The Aeri is an open cable car with standing room and spectacular panoramic views, but only takes 5 minutes. The choice made at the time of purchase is final and cannot be changed.
That depends on the ticket. For Trans and Tot Montserrat (via GetYourGuide), go to the tourist information desk at Placa de Catalunya. For the Mountain Ticket, go to the FGC counter at Placa Espanya station. For the Museum Ticket, you start directly at the top at the info point. The exact instructions are on your voucher.
The boys' choir usually sings Monday to Friday at 13:00 and Sunday at 12:00. There is no performance on Saturdays. The choir may take a break during school vacations and on special holidays. Only the Escolania ticket guarantees access to the choir performance.
Yes, most tickets can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the booked date. The exception is the Aeri cable car ticket - this is non-refundable.
All tickets with transportation use the FGC line R5 from Placa Espanya in the direction of Manresa. For the Cremallera, get off at Monistrol de Montserrat, for the Aeri get off one stop earlier at Aeri de Montserrat. Do not get off at Olesa de Montserrat - this is a different line.
The metro is included with Trans Montserrat and Tot Montserrat. The Mountain Ticket, Museum Ticket and complementary tickets do not include the metro. You will then need a separate metro ticket or a T-casual card to get to Placa Espanya.
