The Basilique du Sacré-Cœur is a stunning white-domed basilica perched at the highest point in Paris, famous for its striking Romano-Byzantine architecture and massive golden interior mosaic. Visit for the free admission, peaceful atmosphere inside, and exceptional panoramic views of the city—especially at sunset from the front steps. Be prepared for crowds and heat on summer days, and note that there can be a wait to enter, though the climb or funicular ride up Montmartre is well worth it.
