Montserrat is a spectacularly beautiful Benedictine monk mountain retreat about one-hour northwest of Barcelona by train. Montserrat Monastery is of significant religious importance (it is said that an image of the Virgin of Montserrat appeared in a cave in the mountain), and the natural beauty surrounding the monastery is breathtaking. You may have seen the needle-shaped peaks from our wedding venue!


And in 2025 the monastery celebrates its 1000 year existence!


Montserrat is easiest reached by car: about 50 minutes from Barcelona, and only 30 minutes from Igualada.

Barcelona

We love our city! Here are some of our favorite things to do

Sagrada Familia

Basílica de la Sagrada Família

Eixample, 08013 Barcelona, Spain
932 08 04 14

The Sagrada Familia is an absolute must-see when you are in Barcelona. Tickets are 26,- per person and include an audiotour that tells you everything about Gaudi's work.

Barcelona neighborhoods

El Born

Picture of El Born

One of our favorite things to do on the weekends is stroll through the different neighborhoods of Barcelona. Each part of the city has its own vibe.


El Born is probably the most popular and well-known area of the city. It is known for its small streets, filled with little boutiques, bars and restaurants.


In El Born you will also find:

- Basilica Santa Maria del Mar

- Picasso museum

- Palau de la musica Catalana

- Moco museum


Gràcia

Picture of Gràcia

Gràcia is a very cosy neighborhood. The area in up-town Barcelona is famed for its laid-back bohemian atmosphere, bustling squares and vibrant bar and café life. It's usually quieter than the El Born area.


Things to do:

- Visit Gaudi's first house: Casa Vincens

- Parc Guell

- Festa Major de Gracia - 15-21 august: a festival where the inhabitants compete eachother for the 'most beautifully decorated street'.

Beach

Platja Nova Icària

Nova Icaria beach, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona has beautiful beaches. If you go a bit more north, they tend to be a bit more quiet (although it will still be summer, so be prepared).


Go to enjoy a day in the sun, grab a bite in any of the restaurants with sea-view, or rent a bike to ride along the boulevard (very fun!).

Go further south

Sitges

Picture of Sitges
08870 Sitges, Barcelona, Spain

Looking for a day away from the city? We definitely recommend going to Sitges! Sitges is a charming coastal town about 40km south of Barcelona and we love going there!

The town has a nice centre with shops, a beautiful boulevard leading to its iconic church and a very vibrant, gay-friendly vibe.

Sitges is the perfect choice for a day away from the crowd, it's only a 40min train ride away, and above all: it's where we got engaged!


How to get there?

Take the R-train (renfe) with destination Vilanova de Geltru or Sant Vicens de Calders from trainstation Passeig de Gracia.


Restaurants:

- Montroig (nice garden in the back)

- Cinnamon: vegan Indian


Arco de Triunfo & Parc the la Ciutadella

Ciutadella Park

Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona, Spain

Whenever we want a relaxing day, we love going to Parc de la Ciutadella. From the Arc the Triomph you walk directly into the parc that has a very relaxed, but lively vibe. While walking around or sitting with a book, there is always something going on around you: dance classes, music and a lot of tight rope walking.
