How to get there
Cable Car
Recommended
The Montmartre Funicular provides a 90-second ride from the base (Gare Basse, accessible from Anvers metro) to the summit (Gare Haute).
Metro
Recommended
Metro lines 2 (Anvers), 12 (Abbesses, Lamarck-Caulaincourt) provide access to the area, with a short walk to the basilica.
Walking
Recommended
Walking involves ascending the 222 steps of Rue Foyatier or through the terraced gardens of the Square Louise Michel, or a less strenuous walk from the Lamarck-Caulaincourt metro station.
Bike
Biking is feasible, but the steep incline of Montmartre presents a significant challenge.
Bus
Buses 30, 54, 80, 85, and 40 (formerly Montmartrobus) serve the Montmartre area, with the number 40 stopping near the basilica entrance at Utrillo.
Car
Driving is possible, but not recommended due to limited parking. Key access roads include the Boulevard de Rochechouart and Boulevard de Barbès.
Taxi
Taxis and ride-sharing services can drop passengers near the top, close to the Place du Tertre or on streets like Rue du Chevalier-De-La-Barre.
