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
Fakta singkat: Langit kaca yang memancar warna-warni membuat pengunjung merasa seperti berada di dalam kaleidoskop raksasa saat sinar menyusup melalui ratusan panel kaca. Panel-panel itu menceritakan ratusan adegan Alkitab secara berurutan, sehingga ruang terasa seperti novel bergambar yang hidup ketika cahaya mencetak bayangan berwarna di lantai.
Sorotan: Cahaya dari 15 jendela kaca berwarna, masing-masing setinggi sekitar 15 meter, memantulkan hampir 618 meter persegi kaca dan menceritakan 1.113 adegan Alkitab, sehingga saat matahari pagi menyentuhnya seluruh ruang seperti halaman buku ilustrasi yang hidup. Lebih mengejutkan lagi, ada tangga sempit yang dulu hanya dipakai oleh Louis IX dan rombongannya untuk naik ke kapel atas, karena bangunan itu sebenarnya dibangun khusus untuk menyimpan mahkota duri yang pernah dipamerkan di dalamnya.
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.
