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
Hitre informacije: Ob vstopu udari slap barv, ko sončni žarki skozi vitraže prelivajo notranjost z bogatimi, skoraj filmskimi prizori. Presenetljiva lahkost notranje zasnove in navpična igra svetlobe obiskovalca prisilita, da molče dvigne pogled ter prešteje podrobnosti v več kot tisoč prizorih vitražev.
Vrhunci: V zgornji kapeli so petnajst vitrajev, vsak dolg približno 15 metrov, ki skupaj razkrivajo 1.113 svetopisemskih prizorov v tako intenzivnih srednjeveških barvah, da zdi, kot da si ujet znotraj kalejdoskopa. Ludvik IX je leta 1239 prinesel Trnovo krono in kapelo zgradil med 1242 in 1248, zato so v srednjem veku romarji nosili sveče in molitve; še danes pozno popoldne rdeči in modri odtenki stekla tako močno obarvajo tlakovec, da obiskovalci občutijo topel, skoraj krvav sijaj pod nogami.
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.
