Montmartre and Sacré-Cœur
About This Place
Feels better later in the day because the climb, the smaller streets, and the view all improve once the light softens. Still touristy, but easy to see why people keep it on the route.
Location
Basilique du Sacré-Cœur / Montmartre - Paris, France
Things to Know
- Inside the church, keep it quiet and follow photo rules.
- Late afternoon is the right time for this part. The square with the artists can be fun, but it is not the whole point.
- The basilica is open daily. Neighbourhood streets are always accessible.
A note from Emma

I would always take the side streets up instead of the most direct path.
