Montserrat, located near Collbató, Catalonia, Spain, is a mountaintop monastery offering stunning views and unique rock formations. The site is accessible by car, bus, or cable car (Aeri de Montserrat) and funiculars within the complex, but some areas may present challenges for those with mobility issues. Both solo and guided visits are popular, with guided tours providing deeper insights into the monastery's history and religious significance. The high season is during the warmer months, and it can get crowded; visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring or fall) might offer a more pleasant experience. Expect to spend approximately €15-€50 per person, depending on transportation, food, and activities. A typical visit lasts around 4-6 hours, allowing time to explore the basilica, museum, and surrounding trails. Note that specific religious events may affect opening hours and accessibility.
