Barcelona - Montserrat
At the monastery in an hour with no changes. The driver can wait and bring you back the same day.
To the monastery without changes
Montserrat is 59 km from Barcelona: a Benedictine monastery at 720 metres among the serrated rocks. The drive takes about an hour.
The usual way up is the R5 train from Placa Espanya, then the rack railway or the cable car. Three legs, each on its own timetable, and the last trains down leave early. A direct transfer takes you from your address to the monastery itself.
🔹 Fixed price from 130 EUR per car
🔹 No train and no funicular - one car all the way up
🔹 The driver can wait and bring you back the same day
🔹 Comfort, Van (up to 7 seats) and Premium classes
Montserrat is often combined with the Penedes wineries - they are on the way. For that an hourly booking works better: the driver waits between stops.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from Barcelona to Montserrat?
About an hour and 59 km. The last stretch is a mountain road, slightly longer in winter fog.
Does the car reach the monastery?
Yes, the road runs up to the square by the basilica. We drop you as close as the traffic allows.
Why not take the train?
The R5 takes about an hour, then you still need the rack railway or the cable car - three legs on separate timetables. A transfer runs from your door to the top.
Will the driver wait while we visit?
Yes, with an hourly booking. A standard transfer is one way.
Can we add the Penedes wineries?
Yes, they are on the way. For a route with stops, keeping the car by the hour is better value.
Is the price per car or per person?
Per car. The Van seats up to 7 and the fare does not depend on how many of you there are.
How long does the driver wait for free?
15 minutes from the pickup time; after that waiting is charged. If you are running late, message support and the driver will wait.
When is the money taken?
For a one-off booking, when the ride starts. If you book ahead, the amount is held on your card and charged at the same moment the ride begins. Nothing is paid upfront.
Can I cancel?
A scheduled transfer can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. After that a cancellation fee applies.
Are tolls included in the price?
No, toll roads are paid separately and shown in the booking. There are no hidden charges: anything beyond the fare is visible before you confirm.
