Above is a map showing a visual guide of the different ways that you can arrive to Montserrat mountain. For the ultimate scenic views, we would recommend the cable car above all other options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to note that to reach the very top of the mountain you will need to hike. The Funicular will only take you so far, it does NOT reach the mountain peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
