Information, path maps and tickets on site · Monday to Friday 9:00–17:30, weekends until 18:45

The Montserrat information office is the sanctuary's visitor service point. It is the place to ask about the day's opening times, pick up the map of the mountain paths and buy tickets. Its hours and contact details are published by Montserrat Visita, the sanctuary's official website.
Hours and contact
According to Montserrat Visita, it opens Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:30, and at weekends and on public holidays from 9:00 to 18:45. You can reach it on 93 877 77 77 and at informacio@larsa-montserrat.com. The website does not give the hours for special closing days, so at Christmas or New Year it is best to call first.
What they can help with
The most useful thing is the map of the routes. Very different paths start from the sanctuary: the level Els Degotalls path, the hermitages route via Sant Miquel and Sant Joan or the climb to Sant Jeroni, the roof of the mountain. Ask at the office about the state of the paths and the Sant Joan funicular timetable before you set out.
They also sell tickets and advise you on the site's opening times. Montserrat Visita publishes, for example, that the Basilica opens from 7:00 to 20:00, the Virgin's Throne from 8:00 to 10:30 and from 12:00 to 18:25, and the Montserrat Museum from 10:00 to 17:45. The Audiovisual Space opens from 9:00 to 17:45 on weekdays and until 18:45 at weekends and on public holidays.
The Escolania and the tourist entrance fee
If you come to hear the Escolania, the sanctuary says that it sings Monday to Friday at 13:00 and takes part on Sundays in the conventual Mass. It has holidays from Saint John's Day until the end of August, after Christmas and after Easter, and the schedule may change because of celebrations or the school calendar; check escolania.cat before you go. The whole visit to the Basilica is explained in its own listing.
The sanctuary charges a tourist entrance fee for the Atrium, the Basilica and the Camarín. It is not paid by people attending services, residents of Catalonia, the rest of Spain or the European Union (except groups and organised trips), or guests staying at the sanctuary. If you have doubts about your case, the office is the place to ask.
Before and after
Visit bookings for individual non-resident visitors are made at montserratvisita.com and open one month ahead at most. For lunch, the Montserrat Cafeteria opens from 8:45 to 17:30 on weekdays and the Buffet Montserrat serves from 12:15 to 16:00. If you arrive by public transport, you will find the connections in the listings for the R5 train and the rack railway.
