Train ride each way is one hour. Train leaves every hour. Too risky. However, it is a much better option than going to Gaudi church or even Picasso 's museum. All nice but this is special. Have a lovely trip!

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the weekend market. We were there for 2 nights during the week.

This is a wonderful day trip from Barcelona. There are transfers. Make sure to get the right train from Barcelona. Then you connect to another train or aerial transfer. When to the top of mountain, you can visit Monestary. Check mass Schedule before going. Viewing the Black Madonna is not usually available during mass. Take the transfer to the mountain top. It's a great view and walking paths to one of the chapels. Unfortunately closed.

Hi From memory, once you get to Montserrat on the cable car, there's a small funicular that takes you some of the way to the top of the mountain, the rest you have to do on foot. It's pretty steep, so wear walking shoes, but the views are incredible so it's worth the exercise.

which tickets do you mean.. you can buy them on site...

Hi, 1. Do we have to buy tickets online for the entrance? If so, can you direct me where? look at: web: montserratvisita 46.20 € is the price for all, BUT I would go for the train and the both funiculars, having a look around and spare 2 h for sure for the top - those mountains are really unique! And leave the Buffet Lunch - bring your own lunch ;-) 2. Will there be a boys choir that day? What time does it start? You have to ask or look online, I am spending my time for hiking and climbing mainly. I hope you will have a great time - sometimes, if the weather is good, you may see the sea!

we visited April and it was warm and sunny - expect if would be warmer in summer months

You should still go. There are some steps up to the church but if you take your time you will be fine.

Definitely explore it on your own. Do not need a tour. Everything is easily accessible and easy to wander around.
