Compare spending · Guide 2026
What budget should you allow for Montmartre?
Cost depends mainly on your choices: walking around, visiting a museum, using the funicular or booking an evening show have different budgets. Separate committed spending from options instead of adopting a daily allowance that may not suit your trip.
The short answer
What matters before you go.
A walk and the basilica allow a visit without admission spending. On 2 October 2026 the museum lists €14 outside exhibitions, €16 during exhibitions and €6 for gardens only. Compare transport and meals separately.
Action plan
The route,
step by step.
Times and order are guideposts. Always adapt the visit to crowds, actual access and your group’s energy.
Choose a free foundation
Connect streets, the vineyard viewed from outside and the panorama. City gardens have closing times; the vineyard is not a freely accessible garden.
Add one paid visit
At the museum, compare full admission with gardens only according to your interest in collections. Children under 10 are listed as free; check evidence requirements and the selected ticket.
Calculate journeys and meals
Count required journeys and check your pass validity. At restaurants, use the current menu and check drinks, set menus and booking conditions before comparing.
Useful trade-offs
What really changes the visit.
Compare like for like
Gardens admission and museum admission cover different experiences. A show price may include or exclude drinks and dinner.
Keep a contingency
Allow a small contingency for an unexpected journey or break, without treating this advice as a guaranteed trip cost.
Practical questions
Before confirming the route.
Is the museum free for all young visitors?+
No. The website distinguishes under-10s, ages 10–17 and students aged 18–25; check rates and evidence requirements.
Are the listed prices guaranteed?+
No. They are dated guideposts; the applicable price is the official ticket-office price when you buy.
