101 Best Things to Do in Montreal | The Ultimate Bucket List
"Located in Old Montreal and potentially the #1 Montreal tourist attraction, the dazzling interior of the Notre-Dame Basilica alone makes this church worth a visit. Built in 1656, this is Montreal’s oldest Catholic church (there are a lot of them in the city). The church is most famous for its colorful interior, full of stained glass depicting the history of Montreal as a city."

Your Ultimate Guide to a 3 Day Montreal Weekend Trip On a Budget
"Start your day at the beautiful St. Joseph’s Oratory near the south end of the Park du Mont-Royal, located a short walk from the Côte-des-Neiges metro. If you want, you’re close to Montreal’s largest cemetery. I’m a weirdo and enjoy visiting cemeteries when I travel (I find them quite peaceful and a lovely place to walk)."

"If you’re up for a little history and culture, St Joseph’s Oratory is on the far side of Mount Royal. This beautiful basilica is Canada’s largest church, and it has one of the largest domes in the entire world. Don’t walk here from Mount Royal’s chalet, it’s far.

Montreal’s Top 10 Architectural Marvels
"Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral is a Baroque Revival structure befitting of its royal-sounding name. It is a highlight of Montreal’s best architecture thanks to its replication of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Its style represented a major break from the Gothic Revival style of architecture that was popular in Montreal at the time."

"This three-day itinerary takes you to the heart of Old Montreal, where the city began, for much of the first day; the second day is spent exploring Mount Royal, a huge urban park, along with major Downtown sights; the third day looks at more disparate sights, particularly those gathered around the former Olympic park just north of the city.

5 Best Churches in Montreal
"St. James United Church is a member of the United Church of Canada and is located in downtown Montreal. The Methodist faith was formed in Montreal in 1807, and the community’s development led to the construction of the current church structure on Sainte Catherine Street in 1888. The community fulfills the spiritual needs of individuals of all ages, asserting the value of everyone, regardless of their culture, color, or sexual orientation, including persons with the most diverse abilities who are experiencing problems, as part of a long heritage of dedication to social justice."

The Best Ice Cream and Artisanal Popsicle Spots in Montreal
"Cocktail Antabli is a Lebanese dessert spot that specializes in over-the-top fruit concoctions (served in huge beer mugs), and so much more. They also make their own ice cream that you can either enjoy topped on one of their famous fruit bowls, or on its own, in its creamy glory. And because this isn’t the usual Italian gelato, they serve some unique flavours, like rose water, achta (sort of like panna cotta, but thickened with bread instead of gelatin), and man-salwa (a mélange of cardammon and pistachio bits)."

The best pastry shops in Montreal: where to find them?
"Alati-Caserta is a well-known traditional Italian pastry shop in Little Italy. Since 1968, the house has specialized in the most classic Italian confections from their fabulous homemade cannoli (among the best in town!) and biscotti, to their Code d’Aragosta (lobster tail) and delicious cornetto. We love this address for the excellence and authenticity of its products, and its original 1968 décor that takes us back to another era!"
Mentioned by Time Out Montreal
The very best dessert in Montreal
"Montreal’s pastry options are vast with its regular injections of young guns contributing to the scene. As a result, sometimes the more old-school, traditional options are easy to forget about. Eating cannoli at Little Italy’s Alati Caserta can rectify that problem though: They are far from forgettable."
