Sacré Coeur Basilica

Visiting Sacré-Cœur was another must-do on my Paris list. I started walking from Galeries Lafayette around 2:30 PM to get there. It’s a walkable distance if you enjoy walking, and it’s a great way to explore the heart of Paris. Be ready though—the roads are quite steep! You’ll find plenty of cafés along the way, but if you’re traveling from India on a budget, be prepared—coffee here is quite expensive. Paris, and France in general, can be pricey compared to many other European countries. When you reach Sacré-Cœur, you’ll need to climb a long, steep staircase to get to the top. Once there, you can use an old-fashioned binocular to get a beautiful view of Paris. Many people sit on the wide steps to relax or take pictures, as you get a perfect view of the church’s front from there. You can go inside if you want, but most people prefer to stay outside and enjoy the scenery. You’ll often see street performers and artists entertaining the crowd, and a few vendors selling souvenirs nearby. It’s definitely a must-visit spot for anyone coming to Paris!

This is a beautiful trip you should do when in Paris. You shouldn't miss it, not only for the beauty of the Sacré-Coeur, but the view of the city is astonishing from there. True is that Notre Dame has the appeal, and it's also a beautiful church to know, but the Montmartre funicular is a tiny wonderful trip on its own. The lane to enter the church is not so heavy, and inside it's beautiful as well. I'm not a believer, but these places make you feel something spiritual beyond your beliefs. Then after being in the church, take the stairs downwards and go through the neighborhood, which is in itself very likable, and have an ice cream (Gelato), the way they do it there.

A wonderful church worth the hike up those stairs. My family enjoyed the picturesque marvel that is Sacre Coeur. The walk up is challenging although you can take the funicular tram if you approach from the front (we didn't). The entrance was to the left as you dace Sacré-Cœur after a brief security check we marvelled at the architecture and majesty of its beauty. The dome painting of Jesus and the sacred heart is spectacular and worth the trip. There are no toilets though with the nearest on the right base (wasn't open when we went) or at the park on the left at the base of the funicular (automated). Lots of nice shops near the base especially fabric shops too.

The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is absolutely breathtaking! ⛪✨ One of the most peaceful and spiritually uplifting places I’ve ever visited. The view of Paris from the top is simply stunning — especially at sunset. Inside, the architecture and artwork are full of beauty and history. It’s a perfect place to pause, reflect, and take in the charm of Paris. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city — both for its sacred atmosphere and its incredible panoramic views. ❤️🇫🇷

The climb up the stairs to the top of Sacré-Cœur is absolutely worth every step! Yes, it’s a bit of a workout, but once you reach the top, the panoramic view of Paris is breathtaking — truly one of the best in the city. The basilica itself is stunning, inside and out. Peaceful, majestic, and full of beautiful details. Despite the crowds, there's a real sense of calm once you're there. Whether you're visiting for the architecture, the history, the view, or just the experience, Sacré-Cœur is a must-see in Paris. Don’t skip the stairs — the journey makes the destination even more special!
