What travellers are saying
- Eleanor R14 contributionsThe basilica is beautiful. It has amazing architecture and works of art. The lighting at the altar is one of a kind. We also attended the Aura in the evening which is a light and sound show inside. I would highly recommend it. Visiting this church is a don't miss activity. I do wish they had an audio tour with headphones, which you could rent that would have enhanced the experience rather than just a chance to download information on your phone.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie KThornhill, Canada182 contributionsWe visited the Biodome and enjoyed watching the penguins and puffins. We listened to some of the talks. It was a lot of fun and it was educational.Written June 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- phvi2617Anaheim, CA640 contributionsThis is the largest church in Canada, and it's notable in that the exterior was built in a renaissance style while the interior is Art Deco. Although the inside is a bit austere, its monumental scale is still very impressive. I was fortunate to hear a terrific concert on the basilica organ while I was there.
The oratory has an interesting history, and there are several sacred places related to its founder, St. Andre Bessette, including his tomb, the original chapel, and the beautiful votive chapel. There is also a museum, but it's only open until 4:30 PM. A must-visit for all interested in the faith.Written July 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The market is hopping in the summer with wi detail things for all five senses. My children were given lots of free samples from the bakeries and the shopkeepers in the market. Highlights were the maple syrup stand in the middle of the market, lunch from Le Coin Sante, crepes from the creative and the unbelievable cannoli from St. Martin’s Pâtisserie. Just watch out in St. Martin’s: they sometimes overcharge tourists so be sure to check your receipt. I grabbed a 2 for 1 item and the cashier originally charged me due both but refunded me after I pointed it iut.Written July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- phvi2617Anaheim, CA640 contributionsThis extensive museum comprises several buildings connected by an underground passage, so there is a lot to see here. I focused on their international and Canadian collections. The Canadian galleries were not particularly big, but they were well-curated and interesting.Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PicuSan Juan, Puerto Rico106 contributionsIf you are interested in the history of Montreal, this museum is a fun and interactive way to explore it. The museum uses technology to create a unque experience for visitors. We spent about 4 hours before being "museumed" out. Not recommended for small children, but kids 7+ should find it engaging.Written July 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CMCHerne Bay, United Kingdom1,050 contributionsWe started at the Eaton Shopping centre and finished at Complexe Desjardins which was near to our hotel. I found it quite interesting finding our way through the network of passage ways, although it is definitely not constructed to be a direct route from one end to the other. More likely it was designed to give direct routes between metro stations and the close surrounding buildings. During the journey we came across metro stations, food courts, art installations, wandered into a hotel reception and ended up walking into a vestibule of an office tower. Like other reviews have mentioned, signage and maps are not helpful in navigating the Underground City. We had to ask for directions a few times, and every time locals would always advise us to get the metro, I suppose to them walking is a waste of time. Even when we asked someone who worked in a metro station for directions they told us it was not possible to pass all the way through to Complexe Desjardins! Ignore the locals advice unless they can direct you. Luckily the porter at the hotel we walked into was helpful, and a security guard for one of the companies also helped. Its worth doing once or twice if you have the time, only realised afterwards there are dedicated tours on Viator, might take the fun out of it though.Written June 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gracie GBoston, MA34 contributionsOnly 25% of the collection was available for viewing. I wish their website would update the public as to when the remainder of the collection will be viewable.Written June 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PeteFredericksburg, VA1,201 contributionsMontreal Bell Centre:
Hockey Statue.
It is well known that Canada is the capital of hockey. There’s still a little debate about the combination of which preceding sports combined to form Ice Hockey. I think it was around 1880 that the first modern Hockey game was played here in Montreal at the Victoria Skating Rink. (Demolished). The Montreal Canadians would go on to win numerous Stanley Cups. I think the next closest team has only half as many Championships. I think it’s a consensus that the friendly elegant violence is very exciting for the fans.Written May 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The market was straightforward to get to via Uber from the downtown, a block away from Lachine Canal at the south end of Little Burgundy. The exterior of the market was filled with fresh flowers and plantings for gardening season, as well as a multitude of farmers with their produce. The physical market building was filled with charcuteries, bakeries, butchers, fromageries...we had trouble on our second trip with where to buy from, as the selections were plentiful and enticing!Written June 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are beautiful paintings of Montréal's Catholic history in the aisles, and music during mass was terrific. Of the four basilicas in Montréal, this was my favorite, and it's well worth a visit.Written July 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie KThornhill, Canada182 contributionsThis museum was very interesting. We went through it and learned about Lakes and Ecco systems. We enjoyed ourselves even though we visited without kids.Written June 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- heatherkirbee66 contributionsWhat they had was amazing! The beauty of their insect displays were phenomenal and the butterfly room was magical. My only critique was I wish there was more especially for the cost of admission.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tshep42Halifax, Canada4,164 contributionsI’ll admit that I’m not a regular casino goer but I did enjoy this one. The only drawback was that there were no open blackjack tables. And the ones with the $15 & $25 minimum bets were full with a ring of people waiting to sit down.
They had some great entertainment as well with a group doing great covers of 80’s songs.
They actually had a couple beers available that weren’t Molson. LOL.Written April 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
