What to see in Montmartre

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Perched on the highest hill in Paris, this imposing basilica offers a stunning panoramic view of the city. Step inside to see the massive mosaic ceiling of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, then climb 292 steps to the dome for an even better lookout. The 222 steps leading up to the church are a popular spot to relax and soak in the scenery.

Place du Tertre

Place du Tertre

This lively square is packed with street artists sketching live portraits and painting scenes. Once a gathering place for famous painters, it still carries the creative energy of the past. Grab a coffee at a nearby cafe and watch as the square fills with artists and visitors throughout the day.

Moulin Rouge
Musée de Montmartre & Renoir Gardens

Musée de Montmartre & Renoir Gardens

This museum sits Maison du Bel Air, the oldest house in Montmartre that once hosted artists like Renoir. Inside, exhibits tell the story of the neighborhood’s artistic past; outside, the peaceful gardens, where Renoir once painted, offer a quiet break from the busy streets and a rare glimpse into old Parisian charm.

Wall of Love in Montmartre with multilingual love inscriptions, Paris, France.

Le Mur des Je T’aime (Wall of Love)

This wall in Jehan Rictus Square is a tribute to love. It was created by the artists Fédéric Baron and Claire Kito and features "I Love You" written in over 250 languages. A great stop for couples or anyone who enjoys a unique photo spot, it’s a reminder of Paris’s reputation as the city of romance.

Montmartre Cemetery

Montmartre Cemetery

Quiet, shaded pathways lead through this burial ground where famous figures like Dalida, Degas, and Nijinsky rest. The elaborate tombstones and sculptures make it feel like an open-air museum. It’s less crowded than other Parisian cemeteries, offering a peaceful walk through history.

Couple walking past Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre, Paris.

Rue Lepic & Café des Deux Moulins

This winding street is lined with old buildings, bakeries, and markets. It’s home to Café des Deux Moulins, made famous by the movie Amélie. Pop in for a coffee and imagine yourself in a scene from the film, or just enjoy the classic Parisian café atmosphere.

Vineyard of Clos Montmartre

Vineyard of Clos Montmartre

Tucked behind a small fence, this hidden vineyard is a reminder of the area’s winemaking past. Every October, a festival celebrates the grape harvest, bringing music and tastings to the streets. While the vineyard isn’t open to the public, you can admire it from the outside or visit it during special events such as the Fête de Vendanges, a multi-day wine harvest festival.

Dalí Paris

Dalí Paris

A museum dedicated to Salvador Dalí’s surrealist works, featuring sculptures, paintings, and sketches. Unlike traditional museums, the exhibits feel immersive, pulling visitors into Dalí’s dreamlike world. It’s a great stop for art lovers or anyone looking for something a little different from the usual attractions.

Bateau-Lavoir

Bateau-Lavoir

Once a cheap artists’ residence, this building housed legends like Picasso and Modigliani in their early years. Though you can’t go inside, a plaque and window display share its story. Standing here, it’s easy to picture the young artists shaping the future of modern art in the heart of Paris.

  • Montmartre is a hill and mostly cobblestoned; wear your most comfortable shoes.
  • Sacre-Cœur is a tourist-heavy area, well-known for its pickpocketing schemes. Be vigilant at all times and keep bags/purses close to your body.
  • On the climb to the basilica, watch out for men who’ll force a bracelet on your wrist and demand money. Decline with a stern no or non merci.
  • Not just weekends, avoid visiting on a bank holiday too because the crowds are just as bad.

Frequently asked questions about Montmartre tours

Can I book multiple tours in Montmartre?

Yes, you can book multiple tours to explore Montmartre's different aspects, such as art, food and wine, and history. Since tours last 1.5–3 hours, it is possible to do multiple tours in a single day’s visit.

Should I book the tours in advance?

This is an absolute must. Apart from being a popular tourist attraction, Montmartre tour group sizes are small (12–15 people) and fill up quickly. To guarantee a spot, book in advance (at least 2 weeks).

What will I see on my Montmartre tour in Paris?

A Montmartre tour typically includes:
• Sacré-Cœur Basilica – The iconic white-domed church with panoramic views of Paris.
• Place du Tertre – A lively square filled with street artists and portrait painters.
• Moulin Rouge – The world-famous cabaret and birthplace of the modern can-can.
• Café des Deux Moulins – Known from the film Amélie.
• The Wall of Love – A romantic mural with “I love you” written in multiple languages.
• Dalí Paris Museum – Showcasing surrealist works by Salvador Dalí.
• Clos Montmartre – A rare urban vineyard producing local Parisian wine.

Do all tours include entry to Sacré-Cœur?

While most tours cover the history and exterior of Sacré-Cœur, entry to the basilica is free so you can visit inside on your own after the tour. That said, access to the dome requires a separate ticket, which can be upgraded with your walking tour.

Is there a strict dress code at the basilica?

Yes, as Sacré-Cœur is an active place of worship, you are expected to dress modestly. Avoid sleeveless tops, short skirts, or shorts. A light scarf or shawl is handy if you need to cover up.

Is booking a Montmartre guided tour worth it?

Definitely! A guided tour brings the area’s history, art, and local delicacies to life. Expert local guides share insider stories—from Picasso’s favorite cafes to Van Gogh’s residence—making your visit far more enriching than a solo stroll.

Where do the tours start?

Depending on the tour you choose, the start point varies. Details are mentioned on your booked tickets.

How long is a Montmartre tour in Paris?

Most Montmartre walking tours last between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the tour type. Some extended tours may include stops for wine tastings or museum visits.

What languages are the tours available in?

While guided tours are commonly in English and French are the most common; audio guides are offered in English, French, Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, and Polish. Check the tour details before booking.

Are Montmartre tours wheelchair accessible?

Montmartre’s cobblestone streets and steep, winding alleys can make accessibility challenging. However, visitors with mobility issues can reach Sacré-Cœur using the Montmartre funicular, which connects the hill’s base to its summit. The basilica also has a wheelchair-accessible entrance.
