TAXIS
Taxi or Uber? We like both.
There are 18 000 taxis regulated by the city of Paris serving in the entire Paris metropolitan area.
You will recognise them as they are usually luxurious black cars with the white sign "TAXI PARISIEN" getting green when free and red when busy on their roof.
Download their apps for easier booking.
Montmartre bus no 40
Montmartre Funicular
The funicular is part of the Paris Metro network and visitors get access with normal metro tickets. It takes less than 90 seconds to reach the iconic white domes of the Sacré Coeur and a view that looks over the center of the Paris. Opens 7 days a week from 6 a.m. to 12:45 a.m.
When the funicular first opened in 1900, Montmartre in the northern part of Paris was the coolest artist hangout in Europe. Pablo Picasso lived round the corner during the area’s heyday known as the Belle Époque. Parisians wanting to avoid the steep climb to the best view in the city simply stepped out of their horse-drawn carriage, and into the small wooden car to be transported up the 100-meter funicular railway track.
