This was our first visit to Montreal. We attended mass at Notre-Dame. My first step inside the basilica took my breath away. The music was beautiful, the service was meaningful. I have never enjoyed such beauty while praying.

Lovely Bacilica. The $5 entry includes a 20 minute free tour . They are held almost every hour and they worth attending.

I was very lucky enough to see this magnificent place and specially the architecture of this church. It was amezingly beautiful inside and if you are going to Montreal this place is the best out of everything. It has got light shows in the evening and if you can make it during that time that is an added value for... More

Beautiful basilica - very, very impressive! Really a wonderful old church the likes of which you don't normally see outside of Europe. The light and sound show was very cheesy - we were choking back laughter and wishing we had skipped that. Definitely go see the church - the show is "meh".

Definately must-see place in Montreal. Just fantastic. Sacre-Coeur Chapel is at the back of the cruch and don't forget to visit there. We stayed there for 2 hours 30 minetes and still felt it's not long enough for its beauty.

The outside is a simple concrete structure with nothing to mention about but once you enter the place, you are mesmerized by the grandeur, the lighting and the ambience of the place. It's huge and you can spend hours inside seeing the interiors, the scuptures and the ornate pieces... More

After a busy period with travelling I didn't feel like visiting the basilica. But a colleague insisted on buying tickets for the night illumination show. And what a blast. 30 minutes of the history of Montréal and the basilica including light effects and sound. Hereafter, bit by bit you are allowed to see the stunning basilica. I have nothing else...

The Basilica is in downtown near convention center and China Town. Day time you can go in and visit but I highly recommended go there at night and take photograph when the Basilica light up.
