Basilica of the National Shrine Review

It was magnificent! Well worth the stop to see the beautiful mosaics.

My favorite house of worship in the USA. Beautiful mosaic recreations of famous paintings. Awesome! Check out the website.

That place is so beautiful and quiet. When you are there you can feeling God's presence and love

Loved being there. Not a fan of the picture of Christ at the front of the Church. Infact I really disliked it! Loved all the dedicated Chapels. Attended confession (welcoming) and Mass the day after.

This is a great place to visit when you feel spiritual or just want to see a nice basilica. I love the architecture here. The statues and the paintings inside the building are very nice. Great place for a church service as well as a place to visit for tourist. I came here the day after Christmas for a service and it was all in Spanish. So they have English and Spanish service here.

We came to our nations capital to visit the Holocaust museum and then tour the Basilica and also attend mass. A very moving ,reflective and day of prayer.

The basilica is so beautiful. The music is amazing, benefiting from the music department of Catholic University. There is so much art; it's breathtaking.

First time visiting for myself and my cousins from Toronto. We both loved and enjoyed it.

This Basilica in Washington DC, is a little place of heaven on earth, where you can speak with God, Jesus, and Mary.

The most beautiful, sacred place I've ever been in. It changed my life. Thank you God for its existence.

So much cool architecture very pretty got to come see!

Positively exquisite sculptures, and depictions of historical Roman Catholic holy family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, saints, scriptural architecture, magnificent Church, ornate paintings, prayer sanctuaries, meditative resources, and a beautiful diversity of youngsters and adults.

One of my favorites Cathedrals . I enjoy each visit , I love the decorations and the structure of Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Happy Holidays and may The Lord, Jesus Christmas our Saviour and The Blessed Virgin Mary watch over and protect ye whom read herein.
As a child, my Mother brought me to Shrine mass a few times and from the first time I beheld this beautiful church, at age 3yrs., it was destined to become my favorite religious structure! Now, as a grown man, working in the Basilica as a Security Officer, I can honestly report, it remains to this day, my favorite building, let alone, my favorite church. Everyday, I witness visitors become overcome emotionally and moved to tears as they pray to the Holy Mother Mary for comfort, solice or protection.
It should definitely be on every Roman Catholic's Pilgrimage Bucket List before they are called home by God our Father.
God Bless you all.

A beautiful church with many chapels. A definite must when visiting D.C.

Awesome and incredible place to go, wonderful mass too

Beautiful and huge....seems like second only to St. Peter's in Rome. Take one of the free tours to see and learn more. They last about an hour.

very peaceful place to go for mind relaxation and worship. The place was positive and we fell good vibes from this place.

Absolutely beautiful. Captures the beauty of Catholicism

I love this Cathedral, lovely place to relax and Pray

Must-see Catholic basilica in DC. Make sure to visit the crypt church on the lower level!

Closed due to Coronsvirus, however souvenir store and bookshop were open ( ). Im sure it could be a system to visit wearing masks and keeping distant.

Very beautiful cathedral. I attended mass and it was great. I haven't been to a Catholic church in a while but it was inviting to everyone. The different shrine from different countries were spectacular and each one unique. Whether you are religious or not, it is a nice place to visit and see the architecture and overall design.

Beautiful,peaceful,spiritual! Come spend time with the Lord.

Beautiful church, closest thing to the Sistine Chapel for me, lol.

Beautiful basilica. It has been several years since I've been here but I can't wait to return. Unfortunately, many of the chapels have been ruined by the addition of Protestant-style prayer tables to replace the Catholic alters that were originally present.

The beauty of this Shrine, gather many cultures at the same time, that you are enchanted with the mercies of our Lord.

These people are so nice
I enjoyed my Christmas dinner ,the Staff were we organized and Friendly.

This is one place no one should miss seeing. So rich in world wide faith. The beauty takes one's breath away.fje. yq8t xc

Wonderful experience, awesome guide, want to go again.

It's a pretty cool place even if you aren't a religious person. Everybody there are really nice and the buildings and grounds are beautiful. It is very interesting.

The most beautiful church I've ever been to! All around the church there are different statues of Marian Apparitions from all arpund the world.

Besutiful and majestic basilica. You should definitely take the surprising underground tour through the minor chapels and 'crypts' as well as a gift shop and a cafeteria.

Just wow beautiful church with mesmerizing decorations. Loved it

Very holy & secure place, the shrine of immsculate conception, a place i long to work there, maintain security inside & outside area, & worship the Lord Almighty there, with other people from all over the globe.

This building is a treasure. And it's on the beautiful campus if The Catholic University of America. All denominations welcome!! If you are visiting D.C., make this a stop.

Beautiful building. I love how they show the chapels from all around the world.

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can spend hours looking around.

Beautiful Church absolutely stunning it's the American Vatican

The Basilica is wonderful. It is very peaceful. A good place to go to relax, pray, eat, and attend mass. The Basilica is very well maintained inside and out. It is clean and beautiful. The restrooms are clean and well supplied. There are many small chapels to choose from. There is an upper church and a lower church. There are two gift stores/religious articles stores on the lower level, one on each side of the large cafeteria.
The Basilica is handicapped accessible. There is plenty of parking. The outside is well landscaped with places to sit on benches or on the grass.

My first trip to America and I visited this great church. It was really nice to attend mass on a Saturday Evening. The basement consists of holy grottos of our Lady which must be seen. Thank you Jesus for giving me the opportunity to come here!

The Basilica is absolutely breathtaking. We love the chapels, upper church and crypt church and we also had an opportunity to visit the gift shop.

Not being Catholic it is a beautiful place for reflection and meditation
