Sainte-Chapelle
Best time to visit
Go early morning when the first light illuminates the east windows, crowds are smaller and colors look most vivid. Weekdays outside school holidays are calmer than weekends.
Budget tips
Standard adult tickets are modest, with reduced rates for EU residents under 26 and free entry for under-18s; check the official site for exact current prices. Paris Museum Pass covers Sainte-Chapelle and saves money if visiting several monuments.

About
Brze činjenice: Svjetlost koja prolazi kroz vitraže obasjava unutrašnjost spektakularnim bojama; više od 1.100 prizora na staklu stvara osjećaj obojenog neba. Veliki broj posjetitelja opisuje doživljaj kao ulazak u kaleidoskop boja, koraci odzvanjaju među vitkim stupovima i pojačavaju svečanu mirnoću.
Istaknuto: Gornja kapela ima 15 vitražnih prozora, svaki visok približno 15 metara, ukupno oko 618 kvadratnih metara stakla, i kad sunce pogodi prozore, interijer se napuni zasićenim crvenim, plavim i zlatnim nijansama koje izgledaju kao pokretne slike. Za vrijeme Francuske revolucije, 1793. godine, vitraže su pažljivo skinute i sklonjene u Nacionalnu knjižnicu, zahvaljujući čemu su preživjele razaranje i restauraciju Eugènea Viollet-le-Duca u 19. stoljeću.
Insider tips
- Arrive 30 minutes before opening to photograph the upper chapel in soft morning light and avoid the biggest crowds.
- Allow small bag or backpack rules, expect a security check and choose comfortable shoes; upper chapel is reached by a narrow spiral staircase.
- Use the centre aisle facing the stained glass for the best symmetrical photos, and avoid flash to respect the artwork.
- Combine the visit with the Conciergerie next door to make the most of your Seine-side itinerary, especially on rainy days.
