In my many visits to Montreal, this was the first time I visited this church. Once you walk in, the architecture and decorations are breathtaking. I only came to attend mass (which was in French, so I couldn't understand, but was able to follow along) so it was free. Next time I visit, I would definitely want to take the... more

Visiting Montreal I had to visit Notre Dame in Old Montreal. It is a stunning building, inside and out. Admission is very reasonable and you can take a 20 minute tour or just wonder inside yourself. I'm not a religious person but it is a very beautiful and interesting attraction! more

Remember: Age 18 and over : $5 Ages 7 to 17 : $4 Age 6 and under : Free Per their website on 9/2009. We found this is a very beautiful building. The church contains very rich decorations. We got there around 5 pm and the building was close for tours that evening. Although, the fee to enter and see... more

Gorgeous church with some amazing internal features, carvings and glasswork. There are guides in English and French if you want to listen to them (they do go on a bit) otherwise you can just wander around the church on your own. Don't forget to check out the wedding area at the back of th emain building. Costs $5 per person. more

The Basilique of Notre-Dame at Montreal is simply stunning! Such spectacular architecture and art! I have seen the light & sound show (held at specific times during the evening) twice and it is absolutely worth it. The first time I went was during the winter and it was just amazing. The summer presentation (August of 2009) was just as breath-taking... more

We went on an August evening to the sound and light show. It was unbelievably hot and humid inside the church, so much so that it was hard to bring ourselves even to wear the headphones - I would definitely recommend going only when the weather is cool. The show provided a very nice history of the church and the... more

A beautiful church, but if they capture $5 from every customer, I certainly hope all that money is going to help the community's needy. more

Not only should you pay for the guided tour (it is only $5.00) which gives you very interesting information you should come back at night for the Festival of Lights. The first part is a rather Hollywood rendition of the history of Montreal and the basicilia but the light show of the alter is beyond awesome. It is like you... more

Have seen some complaining of the cost to enter. Think of it as a donation to keep this beautiful church open for tourists. It was both an interesting visit from a historical perspective and also an enriching one from a religious perspective. The building and everything about it is just incredible. But what amazed me the most is that even... more
