About this experience

Admire the basilica's Gothic-Renaissance architecture, see the beautiful atrium and sacristy, and appreciate the musical talents of singers, composers, and teachers through a choir line presentation. You can opt for either a transfer only or a comprehensive tour of Montserrat Museum, depending on your preference.
