A combined ticket gives access to three monasteries on the Cistercian Route, plus discounts on other regional museums. Tackling all three in a single day-trip from Tarragona is doable if you start early, but it requires careful timing: some visits are by irregular guided tours only. Start with Santa Maria de Poblet (whose long lunch hour can disrupt day-trip schedules), before heading to Reial Monestir de Santes Creus. Finish with Santa Maria de Vallbona de les Monges, the latest closing of the trio.
The ticket is clipped at each monastery and lasts for one year.
