LEGO Architecture Notre-Dame de Paris 21061 vs LEGO Icons Shopping Street 11371

Buy the Notre-Dame if you want a single landmark display piece with real historical structure and a build that follows the cathedral's actual evolution. Buy the Shopping Street if you want minifigures, playable interiors and a set that connects to other Modular Buildings. Notre-Dame is the larger, more solemn display model; the Shopping Street is the more social, expandable one. Owners of the Notre-Dame rate it very highly for the finished look and the removable roof and towers.

• Choose the LEGO Architecture Notre-Dame de Paris if you want a detailed architectural centerpiece with interior views and a build tied to real history.
• Choose the LEGO Icons Shopping Street if you want minifigures, furnished rooms and a modular set that links to the rest of the Modular Buildings Collection.
