My family (9- and 7-year old girls, my wife and myself) visited the Basilica for a Sunday mass. The Sunday Mass has an organ and a choir. My girls are attending a French Emersion school in Ontario, so it was a great occasion for them to experience the mass first hand. The Basilica is beautiful, this is a smaller replica... more

Went to Mass here over the holiday weekend. Even though I don't speak French, it was still beautiful to hear the mass and the choir. The church is very inspiring. WIsh we did the tour after the mass - perhaps next time. more

A very nice cathedral. Definitely a must see attraction. Have to pay $5 to enter the cathedral but worth every penny. I'm saying this not from a Christian/Catholic point of view, but as a tourist. It's a must for all religion. more

Back in 2006, I bought a jigsaw puzzle of the Notre-Dame Basilica just because it was a beautiful picture. I had no knowledge that this place really existed until my daughter pointed out that it was in Montreal. She said if we ever went to Montreal, we should check it out. I agreed but had no intentions at that time... more

What a beautiful church ! The admission fee is $4 and so worth of visiting while in Montreal. If you have a chance, go there at night as well. more

The Notre Dame Cathedral was one of the most visually stunning things we saw while In Montreal. There wasn't much to "do" there (there was a guided tour for $5 but we didn't have time to wait for the next one to start), but there is a lot to see! We saw the altar, the many different votive candle statuaries,... more

The Basilica is beautiful and can probably really be appreciated during the day because the outside lighting should illuminate the inside. There is an admission fee for the day time, which is $5 per person, and the light show is $10 per person. Unfortunately, we attended the light show the night before we left, and never imagined it would be... more

We went to hear a free organ concert on a Sunday night. This is a very beautiful baslica. The altar sculptures, art, and stained glass were extremely elaborate and stunning. None of the photos do it justice. The organ performance was another story - not good at all. The organist needs to practice many more years before he can play... more

One of the most stunning churches I have ever seen! Truly well worth the $5 admission price. A definite must see and the light show at night has also been well reviewed (although we never got the chance to attend). Beautiful colors, windows and art, it is truly one of the most spectacular sights in Montreal! more
