Île de la Cité Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Île de la Cité in 2025?

While it’s free to visit Île de la Cité independently, there are plenty of affordable tours that can help you learn more about the island and its highlight attractions. Group walking tours start at €34, group biking tours at €46, and tours of sights including Sainte-Chapelle start at €43.

Q: What are the top attractions on Île de la Cité?

Île de la Cité is home to a number of top landmarks. Among its most famous attractions is the Notre Dame Cathedral, which reopened to the public in 2024; Sainte-Chapelle, a 13th-century Gothic chapel known for its stained-glass windows; and the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was held before her execution.

Q: What is the best way to get to Île de la Cité from central Paris?

It’s easy to get to Île de la Cité from central Paris; the island itself is in the city center, part of the 1st arrondissement. To get there using public transit, take Métro line 4 to Cité, line 7 to Pont Neuf, or the RER B and C to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame.

Q: How long should I plan to spend on Île de la Cité during a visit?

It’s worth setting aside at least a few hours to take in Île de la Cité’s highlights.

Two-in-one, cost-saving tickets are available for both Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie, and some packages even let you add a Seine River sightseeing cruise to your itinerary.

Amazing tour w/ Jo!

Jo was one of the best parts of our Paris trip. The tour she gave us was incredible. She was full of knowledge and you could just tell she loved what she did and who she worked for.

Incredible way to spend an afternoon in Paris

We had an incredible time on this tour with our wonderful and charming tour guide Joanne! Our two daughters (age 7 and 9) were mesmerised for nearly 3 hours by all of the fascinating and entertaining history we learned (including sitting at the location where French fries were invented and following in the footsteps of Charles Dickens). I would highly recommend this for all ages, particularly curious young children who want a different experience in Paris.
