Things to do in Montmartre is one way to approach this area of the 18th arrondissement in Paris. With a list in hand of things to check off, climb one of the many staircases and get familiar with this bohemian district, Montmartre Paris.
But don’t forget the most critical element of the things to see in Montmartre Paris.
It’s not about the list.
It’s about breathing in the vibe that comes with this neighbourhood, Montmartre in Paris. Notice the wisteria and roses draping over stone houses. Stop and marvel at the uneven, ancient cobblestones underfoot. Sit on a bench and recall that the likes of artists such as Picasso, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec once strolled along these very streets and sat in the cafés.
Play peek-a-boo with the Eiffel Tower.
Harness your inner “flâneur/ flâneuse” or wanderer. To “flâner” (pronounced: flan-ay) is to embrace a way of walking through Paris – to see and be seen and to observe local life. Meander solo in the City of Light or with a friend but what better place to stroll than Montmartre village in Paris?
I’ve got you covered with this list of 25 best things to do in Montmartre guide.
25 Best Things To See In Montmartre, Paris
1. Go Early Morning Exploring In Montmartre Paris
Montmartre in Paris buzzes during the day. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Paris and it is easy to see why. Cobbled streets, historic buildings, Place du Tertre where the artists paint, views of the city and the shining white basilica. Go early.
Parisians will be out with their dogs, jogging up and down endless stairs, chatting at corners and the artists are setting up before the crowds roll in. You might even have Montmartre Paris all to yourself!
2. Admire Sacré-Coeur
- 35 rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 75018 Paris
One of the unmissable things to do in Montmartre is its crowning glory, the Sacré Coeur Basilica. Gleaming white, it stands like a sentinel over Paris. Sacré-Coeur, in itself, is an experience and one that millions of visitors take part in each year. Walk up all the steps past picnickers on the lawn, buskers and the everpresent scammers. Turn and take in the panoramic views over Paris.
Enter Sacré-Coeur and marvel at the domes from within. Golden mosaics and angelic statues look down from above.
One of the most impressive things to see in Montmartre is the view from the dome of Sacré Coeur. Climb the spiral staircase with its 200 steps for a marvellous panorama over Paris.
Pro Travel Tips For Sacre Coeur:
The Sacre Coeur Entrance Fee: free
Is it worth going inside Sacre Coeur Basilica? Although there is always a queue, it moves quickly. It is definitely worth seeing the interior of Sacre Coeur Basilica. Gaze into the stunning domes and appreciate the fantastic mosaics.
Climb The Sacre Coeur Dome Fee: 6€
Sacre Coeur Scams: One of the most obvious places where travel scams occur in Paris is in front of Sacré-Coeur. Look out for the bracelet scam. I fell for it a few years back. In 2024, this scam is still going strong along with the sign a petition scam and all the others in my article. Read my post here on scams
3. Have A Portrait Drawn In Place du Tertre
- Place du Tertre, 75018 Paris
One of the essential things to do in Montmartre Paris is to stop by the lively Place du Tertre. Artists, who can wait up to ten years to get a coveted spot here, chat by their easels’ blank canvasses ready for whoever comes their way. It’s easy to while away some time here and be mesmerized by artists generating portraits on the spot. Pull up a chair, perhaps it’s your day for a caricature or sketch.
TIP: This is one of the places to visit in Montmartre that is always crowded – watch out for pickpockets.
4. Visit Saint Pierre de Montmartre
- 2 rue du Mont-Cenis, 75018 Paris

If you want to find the charms of secret Paris, find them in my eBook, Paris for the Curious Stroller.
Are you looking for the most romantic places in Paris? Montmartre is one of them!
When exploring Montmartre, you’ll see the back of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, the oldest church in Montmartre, from Sacré-Coeur. Dating from the beginning of the 12th century, Saint Pierre de Montmartre is one of the oldest churches in all of Paris. For more than 600 years it was a centre of pilgrimage acting as both a parish church and part of the Abbey of the Benedictine Sisters of Montmartre. It is the only vestige of the ancient abbey that exists today.
Standing at the front of Saint-Pierre de Montmartre look left to see Paris’s oldest cemetery, the Cimetière du Calvaire. It only opens its bronze door to the public once a year, on November 1st. Peek through the gorgeous door and glimpse the tombs of illustrious citizens who lived centuries ago in Montmartre Paris.
5. Pull Up A Chair At Le Consulat
- 18 rue Norvins, 75018 Paris
This coffee house and restaurant stand as a symbol of the old Montmartre neighbourhood. The building is one of the oldest houses on the Butte. Renowned artists such as Picasso, Sisley, Van Gogh, Toulouse- Lautrec and Monet all gathered here. Can you imagine?!
Even today, Le Consulat continues to inspire artists. It is definitely one of the places to see in Montmartre as it makes for a great photo. Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and get a table. Don’t go too early, like I did, as it doesn’t open until 11 a.m.
6. Marvel At La Maison Rose
- 2 rue de L’Abreuvoir, 75018 Paris
One of the iconic places to see in Montmartre is the Pink House or La Maison Rose. Situated at the corner of Rue Aubrevoir and Rue des Saules, La Maison Rose has been serving coffee for over 100 years. This historic building has seen Picasso, Camus and other greats gather. The plaque on the side of Le Consulat indicates that the artist Maurice Utrillo was born here.
7. Eye The Vines At The Montmartre Vineyard
- 18 rue des Saules, 75018 Paris
One of the most charming things to do in Montmartre is to take a peek at the Montmartre Vineyard, le Clos Montmartre. It has been in operation since the 12th century when nuns and monks were in charge of making wine. Every year, the Montmartre vineyard produces a small amount of wine that is auctioned off for charity. Mark your calendar for the yearly wine festival in October. (Wednesday, October 9, 2024 to Sunday, October 13, 2024)
Out early one summer day exploring Montmartre Paris in my “flâneuse” mode I noticed the gate to the vineyard ajar. I asked the gardener if I could step in and take a few pictures unencumbered by the fence. And just like that, I was in the secret vineyard in the Montmartre area of Paris.
8. Visit Saint-Vincent Wild Garden
- 17 rue Saint-Vincent, 75018 Paris
Please note: This is temporarily closed to visitors but you can still admire the wild garden from rue Saint-Vincent and from the garden of the Montmartre Museum.
One of the most hidden things to do in Montmartre is the Jardin Sauvage Saint-Vincent. Right beside the Montmartre vineyard, the Saint-Vincent Wild Garden is one of two protected wild gardens in Paris. Since 1985 it has been left alone to grow with unfettered abandon. Birds and natural plants apparently thrive. It is closed to the public except by guided tour on the first Sunday of every month at 10:30 and the third Wednesday at 14:30.
Pro Paris Tip: The other wild, garden in Paris is the Jardin Naturel Pierre Emmanuel in the 20th arrondissement.
9. Attend A Cabaret At The Lapin Agile
- 22 rue des Saules, 75018 Paris
If you are wondering what to do in Montmartre Paris why not consider an evening cabaret? Montmartre was known for its cabarets by the end of the 19th century. Au Lapin Agile Cabaret has been a popular cabaret since 1860 and still to this day entertains guests with songs, music and poetry. Be prepared to sing along with some old French favourites if you can get a ticket.
There’s that white rabbit jumping out of the pot holding a bottle of wine! Originally painted by André Gill in 1875, the rabbit (le lapin) and the name are still going strong today.
10. Drop By Le Musée de Montmartre
- 12 rue Cortot, 75018 Paris
For art lovers, one of the best things to do in Montmartre is to visit the museum. The Montmartre Museum, housed in one of the oldest houses in Montmartre, is a place where artists including Utrillo and Renoir, once lived. The garden holds a version of the swing, where Renoir painted his famous painting “Le Balancoire.”
Pro Travel Tip: Why not pay 5€ and enter the garden which has lovely views over the vineyard and the wild garden. Have a coffee at the café and enjoy the tranquillity of Montmartre.

11. Wander In Cimetière St- Vincent
- 6 rue Lucien Gaulard, 75018 Paris
When you visit Montmartre, you may want a few quiet minutes. You’ll find them in the charming St. Vincent Cemetery. Wander and find the artist Utrillo’s resting place. He was born in the Montmartre neighbourhood and portrayed the area in many of his paintings. Unleash your inner “flâneuse” here. There are plenty of locals paying their respects or having a picnic in the shade. If you love wandering cemeteries, here’s how to visit the most famous Paris cemetery, Père Lachaise.
12. Gaze At Dalida
- rue de L’Abreuvoir, 75018 Paris
Dalida, a beloved French pop singer, lived in a beautiful home in Montmartre Paris. An internationally famous singer for over three decades, Dalida ended her life tragically in 1987. Her legend and her voice live on today. At Place Dalida Dalida’s bust, revealed in 1997, is a tribute to her. Apparently, touching her breasts brings good luck.
13. Climb Staircases
One of the absolute best things to do in Montmartre is to climb the staircases! Be prepared to get your exercise and be a little out of breath in Montmartre Paris. Staircases abound! I love scooting down a steep staircase knowing that the croissant I devour will be worn right off when I return to the top of the Butte!
If staircases are not your thing, there is an electric bus called the Montmartrobus that crosses the hill. (See More Travel Info.. below for details). There is also the Funiculaire de Montmartre that will save you a few staircases! Find the funicular at Place Suzanne Valadon.
14. Observe Parisian Life In Square Suzanne-Buisson
- 7 bis rue Girardon, 75018 Paris
Square Suzanne Buisson in Montmartre in Paris is one of my favourite places to see. At dawn, early risers lay on yoga mats and walkers stride across it. In the late afternoon, I love to sit and observe Parisians living their lives. Parents and caregivers chat and children are invested in their play against a chorus of clanking pétanque balls all under the watchful eye of Saint-Denis, the first Bishop and Martyr of Paris.
15. Visit The Musée de la Vie Romantique
- 16 rue Chaptal,75009 Paris
Le Musée de la Vie Romantique is situated at the foot of the Montmartre hill in the 9th arrondissment. It is one of the rather enchanting things to do in Montmartre. The museum is housed in an elegant townhouse that once served as a gathering place for renowned artists, writers, and musicians of the Romantic period. The main attraction here is undoubtedly the permanent collection dedicated to George Sand – one of France’s most celebrated female writers. The charming garden courtyard offers a beautiful oasis to relax and have a cup of tea.
16. Ponder Le Passe-Muraille
- Pl. Marcel Aymé, 75018 Paris
Wouldn’t it be marvellous to be able to walk through walls? Stone walls to be exact. This statue portrays the hero of the short story, Le Passe-Muraille, by Marcel Aymé. The main character woke up one day and suddenly all walls were penetrable! Rub the statue’s hands if you want a little extra luck with your writing! Done – he is a leftie, after all!
Standing there one summer day, two young brothers came running up to see the statue. The older explained in earnest what this Passe-Muraille was all about. Parisians from a young age know their city and historic monuments.
17. Linger On One Of Paris’s Most Enchanting Streets
You won’t want to miss Rue de l’Abreuvoir in Montmartre. It is one of the most charming streets in Paris. With Sacré Coeur peeking over the rooftops, the Maison Rose, the cobblestones, ivy-covered façades, and the scent of roses in the spring, Rue de l’Abreuvoir epitomizes the charm of Montmartre.
18. Stroll In Le Cimetière Montmartre
- 20 Av Rachel, 75018 Paris
Of all the things to do in Montmartre, this cemetery is the furthest from the usual landmarks. This Montmartre cemetery is a bit tricky to find. Rue Caulaincourt crosses right over the cemetery making it necessary to descend the staircase under the road. Voilà, there is all the cemetery exploring you could wish for at your fingertips.
Look for the writer Émile Zola, film director François Truffaut, pop singer Dalida and artist Edgar Dégas, whose family name on the tomb is spelt “de Gas.”
19. Shop In Montmartre, Paris
- rue des Abbesses (start here)
Is the Montmartre shopping worth it? I get asked this question often. There are many touristy shops in Montmartre but one of the delightful things to do in Montmartre is to wander and browse the array of picturesque stores tucked away in historic buildings. From art galleries to antique shops and designer boutiques, each street holds surprises waiting for eager shoppers. Start on rue des Abbesses where the selection of shops is ideal!
20. Find The Windmills In Montmartre Paris
- Le Moulin de la Galette, 83 rue Lepic, 75018 Paris
When visiting Montmarte, don’t forget to seek out the windmills. The iconic Moulin Rouge is the most famous and obvious of the Parisian windmills. But there are two other remaining wooden windmills in Montmartre that are essential on the list of things to do in Montmartre.
Montmartre Hill used to be dotted with windmills that ground flour and pressed grapes. Famous painters such as Maurice Utrillo, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent Van Gogh immortalized the existence of these Parisian windmills in their paintings.
The wooden windmills that still exist are a Montmartre must see! One of the windmills is on private property and only visible in the winter or early spring. The other stands proudly above a restaurant, Le Moulin de la Galette at 83 rue Lepic.
Did you see Renoir’s painting at the Musée d’Orsay entitled Le Bal de la Moulin de la Galette? It’s a throwback- you’re standing right where Renoir stood!
21. Examine The Wall Of Love
- Square Jehan Rictus, 14 Place des Abbesses, 75018 Paris
What to see in Montmartre becomes very delightful and amorous when you stand before the Mur des Je T’Aime or the Wall of Love. In the beautiful Square Jehan Rictus, the “I love you” wall heralds those three special words in every language in the world. The white script against 511 indigo tiles is the creative expression of artists Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito.
When you are wondering what to see in Montmartre Paris, add this to your list! Find “I love you” in your language and take a selfie or sit for a while under a leafy tree and just observe.
22. Notice The Métro Entrance At Abbesses
- Place des Abbesses, 75018 Paris
The Métro station at Abbesses, on line 12, is the deepest métro station in the city. Its entrance is seen in the movie Amélie and is unforgettable as it is designed in the Art Nouveau style by Henri Guimard. There are only two remaining glass-covered entrances to Paris métro stations and this one was not originally located here but moved to the Abbesses station in 1974.
Pro Travel Tip: One of the most physically challenging things to do in Montmartre is climb all the stairs out of Abbesses station. Don’t worry. There is an elevator!
23. Step Back In Time In Le Marché Saint-Pierre
- 2 rue Charles Nodier, 75018 Paris
This hidden gem is one of the best things to do in Montmartre! With its wide beamed wooden floors, ancient cash registers and bolts of fabric, the Marché Saint-Pierre is where sewers and fashion enthusiasts will find their haven. One of the highlights of this renowned fabric market is watching the employees with their wooden metre sticks and scissors cut fabric for customers. When visiting Montmarte, don’t miss this bustling market.
24. Peruse The Shelves At La Halle Saint-Pierre
- 2 rue Ronsard, 75018 Paris
It took me a while to find the bookstore La Halle Saint-Pierre in Montmartre. I never go to Montmartre now without stopping by and perusing the books, having a coffee, or browsing the current exhibition. Add it to your list of things to do in Montmartre.
25. Get The Amélie Vibe At Café des Deux Moulins
- 15 rue Lepic, 75018 Paris
Calling all Amélie fans! You know who you are! Those of us who have watched the 2001 cult movie, The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain, more than several times!
When figuring out what to do in Montmartre, why not head over to the café where Amélie worked as a waitress? Café des 2 Moulins is a great place for lunch, or coffee and dessert. Movie fans will love the posters of Amélie. You’ll be rewatching the movie in no time!

Until next time,
We stayed at Pigalle when we were in Paris but didn’t get to explore Montmartre much. You post makes me regret about how much we missed. We went to the Sacre-coer in rain and well, that was it.
There’s always next time!
I love Montmartre! I’ve stayed in that neighborhood several times and it always calls me back.
Me too! In fact, I might be a tad obsessed with it!
Beautiful list. Ironically, we always played peek-a-boo with Sacré-Coeur when we were walking along the Seine. Montmartre looks like the perfect place to wander.
Sacré(e) Alison !!! Means, you’re the best !
Coucou Lolo, Je te remercie du fond du coeur. xx (petit à petit…)
I used to live around the corner from Montemartre and loved doing spring time Sunday walks on sunny days with crisp fresh air. The atmosphere around here is amazing and isn’t over tourist-ed like the other areas of the city. A charming piece of the city which I hope will never change.
I couldn’t agree more – it is such a special part of the city.
I love Montmartre and have visited several times, but there are many things on your list I’ve overlooked. Next trip to Paris, I plan on visiting every one of the items I’ve previously missed. PS Climbing the dome of Sacre Coeur is one of the best things to do anywhere in Europe for about six Euros!
Climbing the dome is a DEAL! It is such a wonderful area. I hope you enjoy the treasures I have highlighted!
Lovely article on a beautiful part of Paris. I’ve only spent a day in Montmartre and it was magical. I love all the staircases too, it’s part of the charm of the area. I didn’t know that Degas’ family name was actually spelt “de Gas”.
Those staircases make me feel so fit! No need for any Stairmaster!
We saw four of these! Sacre Coeur, Place de Tertre, Mur Je t’aime, and Abbesses Metro!!! What a great district indeed! But sorry I missed the rest.
Maybe next time you will have more time to further explore Montmartre!
I lived right next to Montmartre when I was in Paris, my hometown, so this brings a lot of memories… I used to take my little brother to play in the garden and watch the statue of Saint Denis, holding his head… I attended a wedding at St Pierre de Montmartre, had a babysitting gig in the building near the Passe Muraille and my best friend lived right next to Dalida’s house… The best thing about Montmartre is that is had kept its village feel and it’s actually pretty quiet when you move away from the Place du Tertre.
Oh… I love hearing about your childhood memories. Thank you for sharing them here. I think it is that delightful village feel in Montmartre that draws me back again and again.
I always see pics of Le Consulat on instagram and wondered where the heck this place was. Now I know and the history behind it. How cool that Picasso and even Van Gogh used to gather here! I’ll defintley get here early to avoid the crowds. I wonder how their coffee tastes 🙂
Now you know! It took me a while to find it! I bet the coffee is great.
We visited Montmartre a few years ago and just loved it. I wish we had more time though because you are right that a visit there is not all about the list. I would have loved to arrive via the front stairs (we arrived from the back) and coffee at La Maison Rose sounds wonderful!
Montmartre is a special neighbourhood to wander and throw out the list! Walking up towards Sacré-Coeur is magnificent. Next time!
I’ve only been to Montmartre once – I really enjoyed seeing Sacre Coeur and the Place du Tertre was trés fantastiqué! Completely agree with you though that the vibe, the essence, the heart of Montmartre…THAT is what is most important about this fantastic neighborhood. I can’t wait to go back and see it again!
Connecting to that essence is what makes a visit to Montmartre so special.
Oh, Passer through Walls is so cool! I would loved to have seen that when I visited a few months ago. Of course Notre Dame and Sacré-Coeur are my favorites, but your photos have added a few new things to my next time visit. 😉
I know…. the writer lived right on that square where his character is walking through the stone wall.
Absolutely LOVE this piece on Montmartre. I’m glad we saw so much of it and can’t wait to return!
It’s a special part of Paris!
Nice post! I wish I had this list before we made our trip there!
Thank you for this informative post. I worked off of your list to guide my daughter and I through Montmartre in July. I used your expression flâneur on multiple occasions because it just fits so well in Montmartre as well as Marais, Saint Germain, etc. Such a magical city.
Oh, I am so thrilled that you found my article helpful and that it guided you to the best of Montmartre! It is such a magical part of Paris. And, as you well know… being a “flaneuse” is the best way to soak up the vibe! Thank you for the feedback – much appreciated!
