Locals, tourists, musicians, painters, mimes, guides, souvenir vendors, swindlers – all gather under the canopy of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in one living organism. This legendary place is visited by hundreds of thousands of people, who come and go as an endless and colourful river flow.
Sacré-Cœur and the hill of Montmartre make that tempting visiting point that rare first-time visitor can resist while looking for quintessential Parisian impressions. Indeed, monumental view of the snow-white Basilica as you approach, romantic world-famous stairs leading to the top of the hill and stunning vista over the city – there hardly can be any better place to get that legendary feeling of Paris.
Metro: Anvers (line 2) – for the most instant and direct access or Abbesses (line 12) – for an opportunity to see one of the two preserved Art Nouveau stations designed by Hector Guimard in 1900.
