Montmartre | The Bohemian neighborhood of Paris

Imagine a Parisian neighborhood where Van Gogh and Picasso once strolled, where the iconic Moulin Rouge still twirls its can-can dancers, and where the cobblestone streets are filled with the sound of laughter and accordion music– that's Montmartre, a bohemian haven that's like stepping into a real-life French movie!

Want to explore Montmatre on your trip to Paris, the district version of a happily ever after? Read on to know everything you can expect on your Montmartre tour, the ticket options, visitor tips and more!

Why visit Montmartre in Paris

Digging the Bohemian roots

With its deep-rooted connection to Bohemian culture going back to the 19th and 20th centuries, and figures like Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec frequenting the district, you can walk the same paths these geniuses once took and get those creative juices flowing!

Of landmarks, new & old

From the cobblestone streets lined with quaint cafes to historical landmarks like the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, Montmartre has the old town charm for a cultural burst and even a lively square called Place du Tertre, home to street artists showcasing their work– the best of both worlds.

For main character vibes

Walking down the winding streets with colorful houses and vintage boutiques everywhere you look, a tour of the Montmartre district will make you feel like you’re in a period Parisian film as the dynamic atmosphere features live music, performances, and art displays– it’s stuff from the movies!

The shopaholic’s paradise

A trip to Montmartre means your hands are full with shopping bags when you leave the district because the neighborhood has everything for everyone—think fashion labels like Ba&sh, Sandro, and Maje, vintage shops like Chinemachine and By Flowers for preloved stuff, and even specialty stores like Maison Georges Larnicol and Androuet for gourmet goodies!

Things to know before booking your tickets

  • The best way to explore Montmartre is on foot as it’s a small neighborhood with a compact architectural design. So you can go for a self-guided or professionally guided walking tour to see the best of the hill district! While the self-guided tour is budget-friendly, starting at €6.50, and comes with an audio guide available in English, French, and Russian, the guided tour is led by a local English-speaking tour guide who delves deeper into the past of the area, who even includes a croissant or a pain au chocolat with an upgrade. 

  • While entry to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica is free, a walking tour with an audio guide or a professional guide can help you learn about the history and significance of this popular landmark.  

  • As Montmartre is full of art and artists, choosing a street art guided tour is the perfect way to learn about the renowned figures who used to frequent this district like Van Gogh and Picasso, and find out all about the murals there with an expert art history guide beside you.

  • If you want to relish the culinary culture of Paris, opt for the guided food tour which gives you a chance to sample the best of French cuisine. The food tour includes items like French cheeses, pastries and crêpes, authentic macarons, artisan chocolates, finest cured meats, freshly baked breads, a glass of fine red and white wine and even a secret dish. 

Entry to the Montmartre Museum is not included with any of the tours, so you will have to purchase separate tickets for access to the museum and its collections.

Take a moment to admire the Belle Époque architecture and consider booking a show for later in the evening to experience the lively atmosphere that once attracted artists and writers like Toulouse-Lautrec.

Café des 2 Moulins

Just a short walk from the Moulin Rouge, visit the Café des 2 Moulins, a charming café that gained popularity after it was featured in the film Amélie. Enjoy a coffee or a croissant in this historic spot, a favorite of artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh back in the day– maybe you will spark your creativity by stepping in their shoes!

Rue des Abbesses

Stroll along Rue des Abbesses, an Instagrammable street lined with shops, cafés, and art galleries. This area is perfect for wandering and exploring local boutiques, indulging the foodie and shopaholic in you! Don’t forget to check out the Abbesses Metro station, known for its beautiful Art Nouveau entrance.

Place du Tertre

Next, head to Place du Tertre, the heart of Montmartre. This buzzing square is filled with artists showcasing their work. Take the opportunity to have your portrait drawn or simply enjoy the street performances and the colorful paintings and sketches. It's a feast for the eyes!

La Maison Rose

From Place du Tertre, make your way to La Maison Rose, a charming pink house that has become one of the most photographed spots in Montmartre. Originally a gathering place for artists, it now serves as a restaurant, offering meals such as tuna tartare, beef carpaccio, grilled salmon with ratatouille, and crème brûlée.

Sacré-Cœur Basilica

Continue your tour after lunch by ascending to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica which is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and one of the most recognizable landmarks in Paris. Take in the Roman-Byzantine architecture and, if you're feeling adventurous, climb to the top for breathtaking views of the city.

Cimetière Saint-Vincent

After visiting the basilica, head to Cimetière Saint-Vincent, located on the northern edge of Montmartre. This cemetery is the final resting place of many famous artists and writers, including Émile Zola and Jim Morrison. You can spend some time here, away from the busy streets of Montmartre, and the tranquil ambience is the perfect escape.

Le Consulat

Finish your walk at Le Consulat, another charming café on Rue Lepic. This café was once a favorite haunt of artists like Renoir and Utrillo. Relax with a drink, enjoy people-watching from a good spot, and reflect on your day in Montmartre!
