Open Montserrat Excursions
Beautiful tours to the monastery mountain of Montserrat and the surrounding area
Montserrat is worth a trip! Nestled in the Montserrat mountain range, the monastery offers you a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside up to the Pyrenees and the sea.

An open tour allows you to meet other people, you travel with others in a group. The open tours are mostly in English or Spanish, the guides show you the monastery on a visit, the landscape on a hike and one of the surrounding wineries. You have the choice.
The open excursions are usually cheaper than the private Montserrat tours, but certainly just as beautiful.
