I think its ridiculous that you have to pay to get into a church, and $5 per person. You can't even practice your own religion and pray inside this church! In Paris (Notre Dame), you don't have to pay to get in, you don't have to pay with get into churches in Poland either....The people the gate were nasty too,... more

We have been to the Basilica twice now. The first time back in January we went to the light show and definitely recommend this. We took our 5 and 8 year old sons and they were surprisingly very impressed and loved it. In fact it is now our 5 year old's favourite church. Last weekend we attended mass at the... more

Definitely a must-see in Montreal. With your $5 entrance fee there is a 20-minute guided tour included. One of the most beautiful churches (especially considering all the churches in Montreal!) I've ever seen. more

There is a $5 fee to visit this Basilica but it is well worth it just to look at the interior. It is stunning and im glad i made the effort to go. more

This is a huge and beautiful structure located in the heart of Montreal. There is an admission fee to get in but it's worth it. The place is beautiful inside and the stained glass windows and other artwork are treasures to behold. The pews and other parts are hand carved and artisans doing this type of work just don't exist... more

My 2009 trip to Notre Dame was much different than my previous visit, during a school trip more than 10 years earlier. Before, the Basilica was just that, a Basilica. Now, they have a light show, which I thought would be really cheesy and commercial -- but it was actually more of a film that explains how the histories of... more

We went to visit this imposing basilica on a snowy day and missed the guided tour and the sound & light show, but we managed to enjoy our visit anyway. What we saw was a Notre Dame of Paris in a smaller size, built in the nineteenth century. The colours were as bright as those of a painting imitating an... more

We head out to Old Montreal, so we ask the hotel to get a taxi. We end walking up to Notre-Dame. It’s still snowing and now it’s really quite cold. We head into Notre-Dame and it is just absolutely amazing! I loved it. The woodwork and the staircase are something to behold. The rest of the inside is gorgeous; the... more

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
