Meets on Rue des AbbessesMax 25Live guide

Ninety minutes from Saint-Jean de Montmartre church past Le Mur des Je t'aime, the Bateau-Lavoir, the Moulin de la Galette, Le Passe-Muraille and the Clos Montmartre vines to Place du Tertre. It is the shortest guided format here, which makes it the one to book when Montmartre is a half-day of a longer Paris trip rather than your whole plan. The finish is a forty-five-minute stop at La Bonne Franquette, with an optional wine and cheese upgrade. This is the only listed walk described as wheelchair accessible.

Two hours and twenty minutes that stop rather than pass: Le Mur des Je t'aime, the Bateau-Lavoir, the Moulin de la Galette, La Maison Rose and Place du Tertre each get real time. It begins at Place Saint-Pierre by the carousel, directly under the basilica, which is the easiest meeting point on the hill to find. Groups run to a maximum of sixteen and the guide keeps the story on artists and rebels rather than dates. Bring cash and comfortable shoes; you will be on cobbles throughout.

The walk passes the Bateau-Lavoir and the Moulin de la Galette, stops properly at Le Mur des Je t'aime and Place du Tertre, and ends below the Sacré-Cœur with the whole of Paris underneath you. Three hours, a cap of twelve and a local guide who may switch between languages if the group needs it. Tell them about any dietary requirement when you book rather than on the day.

It starts on Avenue Junot in the upper village, which is a quieter corner of Montmartre than most walks reach, and works down to the Sacré-Cœur.

The destination

About the Montmartre Paris

Montmartre is a hilltop village inside Paris, 130 metres up in the 18th arrondissement, and the highest natural ground in the city. We bring together the guided walks that climb it, the food tours that stop at its bakeries and the private mornings that take it at your own pace. The Sacré-Cœur has stood on the summit since 1875 and is free to walk into; below it are the studios where Picasso painted, the last working windmills and a vineyard first harvested in 1934. Here is where to start.

History

An abbey founded in 1133, a hill hollowed out by gypsum quarries, thirty windmills, and the March morning in 1871 when the cannons on the Butte started the Paris Commune. The basilica that followed took more than forty years to build and was consecrated only in 1919, after a war had delayed it.

Access

There is no ticket for Montmartre and no queue to skip: the streets, the squares and the view are free, and so is the basilica, from 6.30am to 10.30pm daily. Getting up is the only real question — 222 steps, or one metro fare on the funicular, or the lift at Abbesses if stairs are the problem.

Top Sights

Eleven landmarks inside a twenty-minute walk: the basilica and its €8 dome, Place du Tertre, Le Mur des Je t’aime with its 612 lava tiles, the Bateau-Lavoir studios, the two surviving windmills, La Maison Rose, the Clos Montmartre vines and the Moulin Rouge at the foot of the hill.

What you will actually see

Six Named Things on the Butte

Not a description of the neighbourhood — the specific things a guided walk stops at.

Sacré-Cœur

Free to enter, 6.30am to 10.30pm every day, with a 480-square-metre mosaic of Christ in Majesty above the apse.

The dome

€8, 280 steps and no lift, for the only 360-degree view from the highest natural point in Paris.

Place du Tertre

The painters’ square, two minutes behind the basilica, and empty before ten in the morning.

Le Mur des Je t’aime

612 enamelled lava tiles carrying “I love you” in the languages one man collected door to door.

Le Bateau-Lavoir

The studios where Picasso painted Les Demoiselles d’Avignon and Cubism started.

Clos Montmartre

2,000 vines behind railings on rue des Saules, first harvested in 1934 and picked every October since.

Every landmark, named and dated

The honest answer

Do you need a guided tour at all?

No — and on a hill that charges nothing to walk, saying so is the only way to be useful.

What is free, and always will be

There are no Montmartre Paris tickets to buy, because Montmartre is a public neighbourhood. The lanes, the staircases, Place du Tertre and the best free view in Paris cost nothing at any hour. The Sacré-Cœur is free to enter from 6.30am to 10.30pm every day of the year, in the basilica’s own words. No guided walk unlocks a door here, because none of the doors is locked.

So Montmartre Paris tours and tickets are not the same purchase: what you are buying is a guide, not an entry. The short list of Montmartre Paris ticket prices is the €8 dome, €16 for either museum and the €2.55 funicular fare. If you have a map, comfortable shoes and two hours, the one-day itinerary is the route a guide would take, written out, and free to read.

What a guide is actually worth

Three things. An edited route, on a village of three hundred lanes with no signposting. The difference between a doorway and knowing Picasso painted behind it. And somebody to ask, which is what travellers name in their reviews far more often than the itinerary.

A food tour buys something more concrete again: it replaces a meal, at bakeries and cheese counters you would otherwise walk straight past. Montmartre Paris guided tours start at $23 a head, and your Montmartre Paris reservation is free to cancel up to 24 hours ahead. The full comparison is here, including where the case for a guide falls down.

Plan your visit

Five things worth settling before you go

The questions that decide how a day on the Butte actually goes.

Getting up the hill

Five metro entrances serve the Butte, and which one you use decides how much of the 130-metre climb you actually do. Anvers puts you at the foot of the funicular; Abbesses has a lift; Blanche puts you opposite the Moulin Rouge; Lamarck-Caulaincourt is the quiet back way. From Square Louise-Michel it is 222 steps to the parvis, or one Métro-Train-RER ticket on the funicular.

Compare the five entrances

What it costs

Nothing to walk, nothing to enter the basilica. The only tickets on the hill are the €8 dome, the Musée de Montmartre at €16, Dalí Paris at €16 and the €2.55 funicular fare. A full day of everything ticketed comes to about €42 a head, and most visitors pay far less.

See what a day here costs

When to come

Before 10am or the last hour before sunset, in any month. Place du Tertre fills with coach groups from mid-morning and stays full until late afternoon in summer. Sunset moves five hours across the year — 4.55pm on 21 December, 9.57pm on 21 June — which changes what fits into an afternoon more than the temperature does.

Month-by-month conditions

Where the tours meet

The tours here meet at nine different points across five stations, and standing at the wrong one is the classic Montmartre failure. Place Blanche and the Moulin Rouge ticket office are two hundred metres apart and used by different operators; Avenue Junot is a small square rather than a landmark you can see from the end of the street.

See every meeting point

What to see when you get there

Eleven landmarks sit inside a twenty-minute walk: the basilica and its dome, Place du Tertre, Le Mur des Je t’aime, Le Bateau-Lavoir, the two surviving windmills, La Maison Rose, the Clos Montmartre vines, Au Lapin Agile, Saint-Pierre de Montmartre and the Moulin Rouge at the foot of the hill.

What to expect

How a morning on the Butte works

From booking to the view, in five steps.

1

Book, and pay nothing yet

Pick a date on the operator’s own page. Every tour here refunds in full up to 24 hours before it starts.

2

Find your meeting point

Nine of them across five stations. Your confirmation names yours; check it the night before, not on the morning.

3

Climb once

The funicular or the 222 steps. Your guide takes the hill in an order that saves you doing it twice.

4

Walk the village

Two to three hours of lanes, studios, windmills and the painters’ square, with the story attached to each.

5

Finish at the top

Most walks end on or near the parvis, so the view is the last thing you get rather than the first.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need Montmartre Paris tickets?
No. Montmartre is a public neighbourhood of Paris, so the streets, the squares and the view over the city cost nothing. The Sacré-Cœur is free to enter too, every day from 6.30am to 10.30pm. The only tickets on the hill are for the dome, the two museums and the funicular.
How much do Montmartre Paris tours cost?
Guided walks start at about $23 per person and run to roughly $76 for the longer city-wide half-days. Food tours sit between $69 and $154 because the fare covers what you eat. A private guide for your own party starts around $65 per person.
Is the Sacré-Cœur free to enter?
Yes. The basilica states plainly that the visit is free and that it opens every day without exception from 6.30am to 10.30pm. You pay only if you climb the dome.
How much does it cost to climb the Sacré-Cœur dome?
The dome is €8 for adults aged 16 and over and €5 for children up to 15, with group rates of €6 and €4 for parties of twenty or more. It opens from 10.30am, with last admission at 8.15pm, and closes briefly at midday. Expect 280 steps and no lift.
How do you get up to Montmartre without walking?
Take the funicular from Square Louise-Michel, a short walk from Anvers on metro line 2. One Métro-Train-RER ticket covers one ride in one direction. If you would rather not climb at all, the lift at Abbesses on line 12 brings you out most of the way up.
How many steps are there up to the Sacré-Cœur?
There are 222 steps from Square Louise-Michel to the parvis in front of the basilica, and the funicular exists precisely so you do not have to take them. Inside, the dome climb adds 280 more on a narrow staircase.
How long do you need in Montmartre Paris?
Two hours covers the basilica, Place du Tertre and the best of the lanes at a reasonable pace, which is why most guided walks are built to that length. Half a day lets you add a museum or a long lunch. A full day works if you are also walking the cemetery and the vineyard streets.
Do I need to book Montmartre Paris tours in advance?
In summer and over holiday weekends, yes — the small-group walks cap between ten and sixteen people and several listings mark themselves as likely to sell out. Booking three to five days ahead is usually enough. Out of season, a day or two is fine.
Can I cancel a Montmartre Paris tour?
Every tour listed here refunds in full if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. That is the policy on both booking platforms and on all twenty-one listings. Your Montmartre Paris booking is therefore low-risk if the weather turns.
What is the best Montmartre walking tour for a first visit?
If Montmartre is one part of a wider day, the ninety-minute walk from Rue des Abbesses covers the hill without eating the afternoon. If the hill is the plan, the two-hour-twenty walk from Place Saint-Pierre stops properly at five places instead of passing them.
Which is the best Montmartre food tour?
The best Montmartre food tour is the one whose inclusions match your appetite: they run from seven sweet stops to fifteen tastings with a lunch. A Montmartre food tour costs between $68 and $154 and replaces a meal rather than adding to one, so compare it against lunch plus a guided walk rather than against a walk alone. The listings that state a full meal, wine and eight to fifteen tastings are the ones where the arithmetic works.
Is there a guided Montmartre night tour?
Not among the tours listed here — the earliest departure is at dawn and the latest finishes in the evening. The basilica stays open until 10.30pm and the terrace outside it is free at any hour, so the walk up after dinner is one you make yourself.
What time of day is Place du Tertre quietest?
Early morning, before about 10am, when the painters are still setting up and the coaches have not arrived. One listed walk exists purely to be there at dawn. Late evening is the second-best window, especially outside July and August.
Is Montmartre Paris suitable for wheelchair users?
The hill is steep and largely cobbled, and only one listed walk describes itself as wheelchair accessible. The funicular and the Abbesses lift both remove the worst of the climb. The Sacré-Cœur itself is at street level from the parvis, but the dome has 280 steps and no lift.
Which metro station is best for Montmartre?
Anvers on line 2 for the funicular and the basilica, Abbesses on line 12 if you want the lift, Blanche on line 2 for the Moulin Rouge, and Lamarck-Caulaincourt on line 12 for the quiet back way in. Most guided walks meet at one of these four.
