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.

- scobroCanberra, Australia588 contributionsIf you like French cobbles streets with great restaurants, bars and busy Saturday nights, then the Old Town is the place to go. Quiet in the morning but really gets busier from late afternoon. Worth it to stroll the streets and try the huge variety of restaurants. My favourite part of Montreal.Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TrekkingandmoreHanover, United States84 contributionsWe loved walking up and around this park - views along the way. you can walk on a sort of dirt road or real trails and stairs.

- Eleanor R14 contributionsThis garden is beautiful and quite large. It has a variety of themed areas, which are all well maintained. I would enjoy going there again to see the wide variety of plants.Written July 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 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.

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.

- sanju_222323New Jersey16,235 contributionsVieux-Montreal is where the city began, and its old buildings and cobblestone streets make it the most picturesque neighborhood in the city. This is where you'll also find the popular waterfront promenade along the Vieux-Port (Old Port).
As you wander around Old Montreal, you'll most likely end up in the lively area by the Saint Lawrence River known as the Old Port (Vieux-Port). Here, you'll find plenty of things to do, from riding the giant Ferris wheel or climbing the famous clock tower, right through to screaming down a zipline that descends from dizzying heights across open stretches of water.
If exhausted, grab a coffee and sit on one of the sunny patios and just soak up the scene.
In the summer, boat tours leave from the docks here. If you really want to soak up the sun, there is even a man-made beach at the base of the clocktower with views back to the city or out over the river.
all I can say- this is the vibe (Specially St Paul Street and Jacques Cartier Square)Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In recent years, the city has made substantial improvements to this street and several others. Sections of Rue Saint-Paul are pedestrian-only areas and during the day, this area is packed with tourists.
history buff, it's for you- Montreal was founded in 1642 as the settlement of Fort Ville-Marie, an early French settlement in the region. The very first street was created near a route that bordered a fort that once stood in the city. The street was created by François Dollier de Casson and was named for Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve, the city's devout founder. In fact, the city’s founder later established a home on the street in 1650.
In 1672, Saint Paul Street was paved with cobblestones, a look that the majority of the street still maintains today.
Coming to life: If you have visited Montreal, you’ve likely spent time on Saint Paul Street. Today, the street maintains much of its historic look with new appeal. You will find many restaurants, exciting street performers, and a car-free area in the summer.Written July 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Since we came in December most of the colors were faded and i believe they renew the paintings after cold seasons.
A good place to go during late spring and aummer but nothing much in Winter.Written December 20, 2023This 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.

- IAN DWigan, UK25,831 contributionsPlace Jacques-Cartier is a square located in Old Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is an entrance to the Old Port of Montreal.

- Lauren MNew York City, NY4 contributionsAfter a long day of travel, my husband and I were able to schedule a same-day appointment for a couples massage. It was easily one of the top 5 massages we’ve ever experienced. Lisa N. was incredibly attentive and customized the massage to target specific areas of discomfort, while still providing a holistic and relaxing experience. I felt comfortable and cared for throughout. 10/10!Written July 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michele C107 contributionsIf you love art deco take a few minutes to see the interior of this office building. We entered at the side entrance at 119 Rue St. Jacques (Office Aldred), near the Basilica and plaza. Beautiful interior.Written February 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
