Car
From any point in Montseny Natural Park, head towards the AP-7 motorway. Follow signs for AP-7 towards Barcelona. After approximately 40 km, take exit 30 towards Sitges. Continue on C-32 towards Sitges and then take the exit for C-246a. Follow the road until you reach Carretera de Ratpenat. The Parc del Garraf will be on your left at Km 3. Note that parking may have a fee, usually around €3-5 depending on the season.
Public Transportation
To reach Parc del Garraf by public transport, first, take a train from Montseny to Barcelona Sants station. From there, take a train towards Sitges on the R2 line. Once you arrive at Sitges, you can take a local bus (Bus number 20) that goes towards Parc del Garraf. The bus will drop you off near the park entrance. Make sure to check the bus schedule, as it may vary, and the bus fare is approximately €2.50.
Bicycle
If you're feeling adventurous and are in good physical condition, consider biking to Parc del Garraf. You can rent a bicycle from a local shop in Montseny. Follow the same route towards Sitges as you would by car, but take the quieter back roads and cycling paths. It's a scenic ride, but be aware that it’s about 50 km and may take several hours. Bring water and snacks, and ensure you have a bike lock for when you arrive.
