What to see and do in Montmartre, Paris | TRAVEL GUIDE

European Destinations, Travel Gratsiela

Montmartre is one of the most beautiful parts of Paris, and arguably the best one to explore with so many things to do in Montmartre. Sitting on the highest hill in Paris, it was originally a separate village known for its many vineyards and windmills. In 1860, it was annexed to the French capital as part of the 18th arrondissement, and it quickly became the bohemian quarter of the city. There was no other place in Paris quite like Montmartre, and many cabaret performers and artists became associated with it (Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh, to name a few).

You can still feel the charming village atmosphere of Montmartre today. With old Parisian houses covered in ivy, cobbled streets, a stunning white domed Basilica and cafés left, right and centre, Montmartre is certainly a must-see location in Paris. Here are our favourite things to do in Montmartre.
