Inside Montreal’s STUNNING Notre-Dame Basilica (1829)

When Montréal numbered less than 20k people in 1824, construction began on what would become one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the Basilica of Notre-Dame. And as every Montrealer will tell you, this is where Celine Dion was married.

I live near Montreal and have only been there like twice. But everytime I go there I cry, that's how incredible it is.

I married the love of my life in 1988 at the beautiful Basilica of Notre Dame in Montreal and baptized my three children there too. It was the happiest day of my life with such beautiful memories to treasure in such a beautiful place surrounded by our loving God, our saviour Jesus Christ.😊

I’ll come back to Montreal again just to visit the Basilica of Notre Dame. It is overwhelming. As a Catholic, I’m especially looking forward to attending mass at Notre Date. What a treasure.

I went there back in the 1990's. It's so beautiful. I was so happy that I was inside the Church. I could go in today and it would get emotional because I am older. Love the video. ❤.

I visited this basilica over the weekend and it was one of the most beautiful buildings I have seen in my life, and I'm pretty well traveled around Europe and East Asia.
I just want to say that the photographs and videos really do not capture it at all. I noticed this over the weekend too, I was taking pictures and video (you are allowed to) just in awe over how magnificent it was, but it didn't translate so the pictures are kind of mediocre... So go in person! It is beautiful.

Note: During prayer hours, the Basilica is free to enter but you are not allowed to take any pictures. To help with the upkeep of the church, there is a fee during tourist hours, which includes a free 20-min tour with a guide (in English or French, make sure to ask when the next tour starts) and you can take as many pictures as you want.

I hope they reopen soon and have the light show. That looks stunning.

Stunningly divine, thanks for sharing. I never knew about this Basilica? It looks palatial.

A much smaller church, St. John's Anglican in Lunenburg, is also worth seeing when you visit Nova Scotia.
