Montserrat has been the holiest shrine in Catalonia for more than a thousand years and over time, this mountain has become a mini-world of its own, housing not only a Benedictine Monastery and the famous Basilica but also a printing press and distillery among many other attractions. Montserrat Visita is a handy booklet of vouchers bringing together various services and discounts that will help you to plan and enjoy your visit all the better.

The booklet also gives you a choice on how to arrive at the monastery either by rack railway (Monistrol Montserrat station) or by cable car. If you do come by car, you will have free parking as long as you validate the ticket at the information bureau.

Once at the sanctuary itself, you will receive a 10% discount on the Sant Joan and Santa Cova funicular as well as the Salt Mountain Natural Park. There is plenty to visit here, too.
