up to the Sacré-Coeur or just a 10-min walk to the
Funicular (a type of cable railway system).
The Basilica is open every day from 6:30a.m till 10.30p.m
and is free to enter.
For some stunning panoramic views of Paris, climb the dome!
Access to the dome is outside on the left and is open every day
from 10.am till 7p.m. Entry tickets cost €6.
There is no elevator to the top, and there are 300 steps
to climb!
