About Eiffel Tower Summit Tickets
Book your Eiffel Tower Summit tickets and prepare for an unforgettable visit to the most famous landmark in Paris. You will ride the elevator to the second floor to enjoy sweeping views of the city. If you choose the summit option, you will travel all the way to the top for the highest vantage point in the capital. Spend as much time as you like exploring the different levels at your own pace. You can also visit the first floor to test your courage on the transparent glass floor. Get your tickets today and see Paris from a completely new perspective.
Skip the long stairs and take a comfortable elevator ride straight to the observation decks. You will reach the second floor quickly and enjoy a smooth journey to the very top.
Step out onto the viewing platforms and look across the entire city of Paris. You will easily spot sites like Champ de Mars, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Arc de Triomphe from high above.
Take your time walking around the different levels and enjoying the spectacular scenery. Your ticket allows you to stay on the tower for as long as you want to take photos and relax.
Make a stop on the first floor on your way down to experience something truly unique. You can walk across a solid glass floor positioned nearly 200 feet above the ground.
We booked the summit tickets and the view from the top was absolutely spectacular. The elevator ride was quick and the guide gave us a very nice introduction before we went up. We spent over two hours just taking photos and enjoying the scenery. Walking on the glass floor on the first floor was also a lot of fun for the kids. I highly recommend doing the summit option if you visit Paris.
This ticket made our visit to the Eiffel Tower so easy. We got to the second floor and the views were already amazing, but going all the way to the summit was the real highlight. You can see the whole city spreading out beneath you. The booking process was smooth and we could explore everything at our own pace without feeling rushed.

PRO TIP:
DISCOVER THE ICONIC LANDMARK
Your visit begins with a brief and engaging introduction from a host who will share the fascinating history of the Eiffel Tower. After this short orientation, you will use your dedicated reserved access to ride the elevator up the monument. You will first arrive at the second floor observation deck, which offers some of the best panoramic views of the French capital.
SPECTACULAR CITY VIEWS
If you select the summit access, you will continue your journey in another elevator that takes you to the very top. Standing at the peak of the tower gives you an unmatched view of the sprawling city below. You can easily see the bright white dome of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica and the golden dome of Les Invalides.
ENJOY UNLIMITED TIME ON THE TOWER
Once you reach the observation decks, your guide will leave you to explore independently. You can spend the entire afternoon walking around the different levels and enjoying the beautiful Parisian skyline. Before you leave, be sure to visit the first floor to learn more about the tower's construction and walk across the thrilling transparent floor.
Which is better: visiting the Eiffel Tower by day or at night?
The truth is, there's no wrong choice. A daytime visit offers breathtaking views of the city. On a clear day, you can actually see up to 50 miles away from the second level. However, many visitors plan their trip for the evening, and it's easy to see why. Every night, the Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes every hour, casting its iconic beacon across all of Paris. If you love the magic of the city after dark, we recommend combining your Eiffel Tower ticket with our Paris Night Tour for an unforgettable experience.
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- You must arrive on time for your reserved entry slot to guarantee your access to the tower.
- Every visitor requires a ticket to enter the monument, including children under the age of four.
- You should expect to wait in lines for the security checks and the elevators during busy periods.
- Please pack only standard personal items and leave glass bottles, drink cans, and sharp objects at home.
- The weather at the summit can be windy and chilly, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.
- The complete visit usually takes about two and a half hours, but you can stay as long as you wish.
- The Eiffel Tower is one of the stops on the popular bus that circles the city, letting you get off at any attraction, so consider booking a Paris City Hop-On Hop-Off Tour for added convenience.
Meeting Point
