We took a daytime tour of this beautiful cathedral , as well as the night time sound and light show. The night illuminations of the interior of the cathedral were breathtaking, and went well with the multimedia slide show which depicted the history of the cathedral and the surrounding area. This is particularly well suited for families with children because... more

This is one church you don't want to miss. It's in the old town anyway which is the area that many travellers visit. We were in Montreal a few years ago and thought the Notre Dame was wonderful and decided we had to return on a recent trip to Montreal. Yes, it does have a $5 entrance charge but you... more

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
