Montmartre

Montmartre has the Sacré-Cœur church and good views over Paris, but it's quite touristy with persistent street scammers. Safe during the day but crime increases at night. The hills are steep and can be challenging to navigate. Better for day trips than staying overnight.

Montmartre has aggressive scammers and pickpockets, particularly around Sacré-Cœur where friendship bracelet scammers forcibly tie strings on wrists then demand payment. Place du Tertre artists can be pushy with solo tourists. The steep terrain creates isolated pockets where crime increases after 10pm. Police presence around major attractions but limited on side streets. Solo female travelers report frequent harassment from street vendors and scammers. The funicular provides safer access than walking up dark stairways at night. Tourist crowds during day provide some safety through visibility but also attract thieves. Evening venues around Moulin Rouge can have aggressive promoters targeting solo tourists.
