Gorgeous Cathedral.... construction going on outside Notre Dame, but otherwise it was fantastic.

I loved the tour. It was worth every penny. She explained so much. We were a small group and she explained the history of the Basilica. It is really a sight to behold as is the Chapel in the back of the main church. I am still in awe. Great to see whether you are religious or not and perfect activity for hte winter.

I like Montreal for its own oldness. It is antique. It was cold in Xmas season. I would recommend you all save every single pennies to be there if you the one loves to travel.

Notre Dame is beautiful, you don't need a tour guide to see that but there are free (with the cost of admission) tours that start pretty regularly.

The church next to the skyscraper is not Notre-Dame Basilica but Mary Queen of the World Cathedral ! This Cathedral is the main church of the Montréal Catholic Diocese is is loccated in the midst of the business centre of the City.

Don't waste your time or money on the "Et la lumiere fut" ("And then there was light") presentation at the Notre-Dame Basillica. This is a 30-minute film that gives a brief history of the cathedral through a combination of still shots of paintings, cartoon drawings, and poorly scripted and acted scenes. The film is projected onto a large screen positioned above the center aisle, as well as on sail-like canvases that are stretched from the balconies down to the pews on each side. The big finale is when the projection screens are all taken away, revealing the interior lights of the catherdral.

$4 is an amazingly small price to pay for admission to one of the most awe-inspiring places we've ever seen. If you're Catholic, the statues, the scenes portrayed in stained glass, the small side altars and chapels, the baptismal font and confessionals all take on increased significance. Even if you're not Catholic, the interior of the church and its main altar are breathtaking.

I was strolling one afternoon & enter the church as I usually do (I enter all churches, I love it!) and Celine Dion was practicing there! Just like that, a free show! It was divine!
