Montréal’s oldest Catholic church, Basilique de Notre Dame, was built in 1818 and is home to intricately designed stained glass that tells the history of the city. So why is this Montréal itinerary bringing you here on a Friday night? Because you booked tickets to Aura Basilique Montréal: a trippy immersive light and sound experience that guides you through the church’s grandiose architecture and history. Locals may be ambivalent about show and its price of admission ($28), but, while crowded, its also hands down one of the best things to do in Canada. The show is short (about 40 minutes, with a quick intermission and location change), which makes it the perfect layover between dinner and drinks.
