Start with a panoramic bus tour of Barcelona's highlights. Travel along Passeig de Gràcia to admire Gaudí's La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, then head to Montjuïc, stopping at the MNAC Viewpoint and Montjuïc Castle while exploring the 1992 Olympic area. Enjoy scenic views from the Montjuïc Cable Car before returning to the office for 3 hours of free time.

At 1:45 PM, check in again and depart by air-conditioned coach to Montserrat. After a one-hour drive, discover this iconic serrated mountain, declared a National Park in 1987.
