10 Churches & Cathedrals in Ville-Marie That You Shouldn't Miss
Montreal, c’est si bon! This French-speaking city is considered the cultural capital of Canada, and is a cosmopolitan celebration of Québécois style. A horse-drawn carriage ride around the cobblestone streets and grand buildings of Vieux-Montréal will give you a taste of European flavor. The Basilique Notre-Dame is a confection of stained glass, and the Plateau Mont-Royal district will delight you with its quaint boutiques and cafés. Dig in to a massive plate of poutine to fuel up for a tour of the epic Olympic Park.

Called the Sailors' Church because of the wooden ship models that hang from its ceiling, this church was originally designed by Marguerite Bougeoys, one of Montreal's first teachers. Next to the Chapel, the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum ($) presents fascinating stories/accounts and significant objects to showcase the life and work of Marguerite Bourgeoys, Montreal's first teacher. Visitors can explore the 18th-century stone crypt and climb the tower to admire a stunning view of the St. Lawrence, Old Montreal and downtown. The archaeological site, opened in 1998, has witnessed more than 2,400 years of history. In addition to its permanent exhibition spaces, the Museum offers a variety of temporary exhibitions and cultural activities, along with school programs. Tours of the Bonsecours neighbourhood, the oldest part of Montreal, are offered on Saturdays, from April to June, and October and November. Reservation required.

We stopped here at this free admission chapel twice during our visit. It is far smaller and simpler than the large Notre Dame Basilica, but peaceful and beautiful in its decorations. Do not miss the statues on the chapel on the exterior port side of the building. If you enjoy visiting religious buildings, this is definitely worth a visit.

Although not as famous as the Notre-Dame Basilica it is still worth a stop! Beautiful interior and for someone trying to see the beauty of Montreal’s Cathedrals in a quiet and more private manner I would defiantly recommend going here over the Notre-Dame Basilica, as it is crowded

Unexpectedly all lights were off by the time we entered into the church and a mixture of emotions I started to feel. Highly recommended by many experts, it helps me to take the decisión to go and enjoy this must-see show in “Notre Dame Basilique”. Predictably tickets are not sold at the venue so I recommend to buy them in advance online It is the best 3D laser show I have ever seen, all these 3D laser effects and HD sound makes you feel as the Church was alive. If I had had time I would have enjoyed this show twice during my visit to Montreal

During an amazing three hours tour you will see all the most popular sights and experience the best parts of the old city We'll see all hi lights in old Town. And I also know a few secrets that make Montreal a great city. As your private tour guide, I can adjust the schedule, duration and activities to meet your needs. I do walking tour as well as complete Montréal tour with vehicles.
