Montmartre is a beautiful area of Paris and there is so much to see and explore and so many restaurants to try. Sacre-Coeur Basilica is beautiful but almost always extremely crowded. I love going up there at night when there's fewer people and you can see all of Paris lit up below. It's a great view!

Paris Metro Line 6 – Metro with a View But now, it's the metro line with the best views of Paris, as it runs mostly above ground. After stopping at the Trocadéro, between Passy and Bir Hakeim, it crosses the Seine and offers amazing views of the Eiffel Tower.

I would recommend planning to spend the entire day in Montmartre. This doesn't necessarily mean being here from breakfast to dinner but more like from around noon to the early evening hours. It's not a huge area but most of the fun is just strolling around and grabbing a glass of wine with a view.

The best time to visit Montmartre is in the morning before everyone else arrives! Though this district is much more popular now than just a few years ago, you'll soon discover that you'll have the 18th arrondissement largely to yourself if you arrive at first light (and mid-week if possible)!

Montmartre is a safe neighbourhood. Down the hill, it's Pigalle which is the equivalent of the Red-Light district. As it is very touristy during the day and night you should not have any problems.

Montmartre is safe at night, but there's nothing to see; all the interesting activity (artists, shops, etc.) takes place during the day. Sacré-Cœur is nicely lit in the evening, but that's about it. Some areas to the east of Sacré-Cœur are dicey in the evenings, but tourists never go there, anyway.
