Montreal's oldest Catholic church, built in 1656, is known for its intricately designed interior, which includes stained glass chronicling the history of the city.

Notre Dame Basilica is a must see in Montreal. Very close to The Old Port this church is magnificent! The architecture reminds us of some of the most noteworthy churches of Europe. The interior is awe inspiring. Include the visit while enjoying Old Montreal. As most tourists will tell you, this place is a taste of Europe in North America. I love my city!

Stroll, bicycle or take a horse-drawn carriage through the narrow cobblestone streets of Montreal's famous Parisian-style historic district, filled with cultural landmarks, museums, boutiques, sidewalk cafes and restaurants.

So much to see and do here. Plenty of great restaurants and sites to see plus tons of cool little shops. So reminds me of Europe but not as busy and much closer to home.

This is not Barbie as you once knew her! The Barbie Expo, conveniently located in the heart of downtown, in Les Cours Mont Royal, Montreal’s most prestigious upscale shopping mall, is a brilliant and exciting way to showcase the haute couture fashion available at the exclusive flagship boutiques within the mall. The stunning display houses over 1000 dolls, and is the largest permanent Barbie doll Expo in the world! A truly incredible selection of world-renowned designers have magnificently fashioned breathtaking outfits for every possible occasion—all of them modeled by the 11.5 inch fashion icon herself. Admission is free. Designers on display include Christian Dior, Donna Karan, Armani, Ralph Laurent, Vera Wang, Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Christian Louboutin, Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, Bob Mackie, and many other authentic fashion all-stars!

Our young daughters wanted to see this Expo and, quite honestly, I had little interest in seeing the exhibit.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the admission was free and the exhibit exceeded all expectations.
Very large exhibit that covers every imaginable theme from movies to musicals represented.
TIP *Expect to spend about half an hour.

I had a high expectation as the reviews below were quite ravishing. But I was very much disappointed with the size of orchestra. Two cellos!! (Not to mention other instrument) I am just a simple music lover but the ratio of instruments are unbelievably inappropriate. Put aside the much bigger number of violins, there were four contrabass versus two cellos!! I could not believe my eyes!! Two flutes, two clarinets, two bassons and two trumpets, if I'm not mistaken. No other brass or woodwind! The last program of the day was Haydn's symphony "Drum Roll" and there was only one drum! I only went to see Pinchas Zukerman play Mozart, so my goal is accomplished, but I would not pay the full price to go again to osm.
FYI the indoor parking is only $12 (tax included) if you buy it prior online and the spot is saved for you.

Founded in 1860 as the Art Association of Montreal by a group of Montreal art collectors and patrons, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) was one of the first museums in North America to build up an encyclopedic collection worthy of the name. It now numbers over 41,000 works from Antiquity to today, making it unique in Canada. It comprises paintings, sculptures, graphic arts, photographs and decorative art objects displayed in four pavilions: the Jean-Noel Desmarais Pavilion (international art), the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion (world cultures), the Liliane and David M. Stewart Pavilion (decorative arts and design) and the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion (Quebec and Canadian art). The latter, which was inaugurated in September 2011, includes a 444-seat concert hall - Bourgie Hall - featuring an important group of Tiffany stained glass windows. A fifth wing, the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion for Peace devoted to international art and education, will open in late 2016 to launch Montreal's 375th anniversary celebrations.

Saw an excellent special exhibit on Napoleon's Court. Also visited the classic collection. Not a huge museum but the collection does contain Some Rodin, Monet, and a couple of Picassos. Two of the rooms were arranged to accent the lighting in the works which was a very nice touch.

This 19th-century church has a collection of interesting mosaics on its ceiling.

We popped in here on 12/31 and it was completely empty other than us. I expected it to be fun of people. Well worth visiting, I would count on 30 minutes.
