There is a combined ticket called TransMontserrat that you can buy from the vending machines. It costs 35.30 EUR and gives you two single tickets to Barcelona Metro to and from the station Espanya, the train trip from Barcelona and back, the two funiculars on top of the mountains - one going from Monastery to the Santa Cova cave and also to the top of the mountain (as described above) to San Joan and then depending on which kind of ticket you chose, either the return trip by the cable car or a return trip by a funicular which both take you from the train to the Monastery and back. Just beware that you must choose this form of transportation in advance and you cannot combine them. The only difference is in the station where you leave your train. If you choose the cable car, get off at the Montserrat Aeri station and if you choose the funicular, leave at Monistrol de Montserrat station. It's the same if you go back. Just make sure that you return down with some time to spare for you may end up quite some time for the cable car. It only fits 30 people inside.

American tourists here. We took public transit from Barcelona out to the funicular. We arrived around 1:30 pm on a Sunday. We were able to buy tickets and then wait only about 10 minutes to get on. The ride was fun and the views were incredible. We had a bit of a longer wait to come back down. Tip for if you take public transportation to the funicular from Barcelona: We used our Hello Barcelona pass to get around during our trip. I had read online that we wouldn't be able to use it to get out and back to Montserrat. Somehow we got out there and then came back without paying any extra fees. I never saw anywhere to pay or buy extra tickets. Once we arrived at our final station, we and a few others were denied exit. A few unfriendly workers explained that it was because we hadn't paid for our rides. They helped us to pay retrospectively, but it was a hassle. Just beware of this and try to make sure that you know how to purchase these tickets!

Fabulous views from the top. Take the gondola up for impressive views up and down the valleys. Great value.. The mini walled city on the top is beautiful with it tree lined streets and great views of the valleys. Alot of stairs even if you are taking the gondola so if you have problems it may be better to take the train from Barcelona right to the top and then you will have no stairs to climb. Be carefully, overwhelming amount of hikers with walking sticks that have no idea how to use nor care about who they hit with them. Not only was I stabbed in the ankle by one of these idiots I got slashed across the back and then agian nearly impelled when the female tripped over her other stick... Aside from the idiot hikers a fantastic location that I highly recommend Food and drinks served at the top in numerous locations.

If you are planning to visit Montserrat, there are two type of public transport to go up the hill, one is cable car and the other one is rack railway. Google Map keeps suggesting us to use rack railway but we chose to use cable car for the elevated experience. The one day return ticket was able to buy at the local kiosk machine from Barcelona train station. Cable car included ticket is slighly cheaper than the rack railway package! Overall it was very fun! The cable car moves kind of slow so it will take a while to wait in the line. Make sure you check the schedule to catch the last ride! If you are confuse, just ask anyone in the train, most of them are going to the same direction.

Amazing yet short ride (some 5 min or so one way). Not advisable for people with a big fear of heights. It ascends fast and goes very high. There's no seating inside and it might feel a bit woobly from time to time but it's still an amazing experience if you like that sort of thing. It also isn't expensive for a cable car and it goes up and down very often. Every 15min if I remember correctly. If you go from Barcelona, you can buy a single ticket there which includes a return ticket for both the train to this place and for the cable car, at a very affordable price thats worth the experince of seeing Montserrat.

8 euros one way, 12 for return. Bought at the kiosk but a lot of people had already got in advance. Not clear how often they leave, we waited about five to ten minutes before the journey. The trip up is quick, maybe 5 minutes. Good views along the way, mask is still enforced and you may have to buy one if you don't have, or be turned away. Would recommend getting the rack railway one way up or down instead, slightly different experience getting a train through the mountains than flying over it. The total works out a bit more expensive than one return but it's worthwhile!
