Great secret with magnificent views on a sunny clear day. Fastest elevator in Europe. You won’t notice that but interesting none the less. A perspective you won’t get anywhere else.

The views from the very top of the tower are very good with a 360 view of Paris. Panels along the perimeter show you what is in view from that angle. You take the elevator up and if you wish climb stairs to the very top which is worth it. As far as price, I think it was somewhat overpriced.

We arrived up on the observation deck 20 minutes early, to be go back downstairs as we weren't getting in because of our early arrival. The observation deck was absolutely empty. We went downstairs and promptly left. Very rude 😒

Ascend to the top of the Montparnasse Tower for an astonishing aerial view over Paris, including the best views of the Eiffel Tower. There is a restaurant, an outside observation deck on the top floor and several virtual reality kiosks to see the city back in the hey day. It is a great way to see the city. I wish we would've gone at night to see the city lights, but we were on a tour trip for the week.

The panoramic deck is closed, the building is filthy (broken windows, dirty, staff shabby). We booked ahead and they charge 26 euros per ticket for a “champagne experience” which is a small glass served very slowly from the cafeteria counter! It’s truly disappointing, so avoid if for a special occasion.

Bit disappointed roof terrace closed. We were told in advance of going up but not before buying tickets. Was a shame as the view was OK but roof terrace much better.

This building has seen better days but if you can see past that and persevere to the observation deck,the views of Paris are stunning. We enjoyed a drink and a snack in the cafe which was busy but the service was good. Massive queue for the toilets and the gift shop felt very cramped.

I arrived at 9:30 in the morning when the observation deck opens, and there were almost no visitors. I was able to observe a magnificent view of the whole Paris from all four sides of the roof at once. By the was, there is a cafe at the top where you can take a cup of warm drink if you're cold. Also there're chairs at the roof. You can sit, drink you coffee of tea and enjoy one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Also there're binoculars, but even without them I was able to clearly see the key sights of Paris including the Eiffel tower, Notre-Dame-de-Paris, Invalides and even Sacre-Cœur.

Dirty, disorgnised.employees say they will close in 31/3/23. The price asked is not acceptable. When you look at the comments on TA and you ser there are 4 people visiting on a saturday noon, you can’t understand

If you want a high-level view of Paris this is a much better option than the more expensive, crowded and time-consuming Eiffel Tower. It also gives a superb view of the latter structure, especially as darkness falls and the Eiffel Tower sparkles with thousands of spangly lights for a few minutes on the hour every hour. We ascended on a bitterly cold winter evening as dusk fell. The surroundings of the tower are a rather shabby ‘concrete jungle’ and it took a little time to find the entrance (even though I’ve been there before) but once in there was no queue and we were whisked up in the lift in almost no time. Entrance payment is now made once reaching the top (it used to be at the base) and the views are stunning, with the gift shop, cafe and numerous information panels a bonus. But the main reason for visiting is the views. Once you have found the steps to climb to the higher-level open top of the tower (passing painted murals, not ‘graffiti’ as a previous reviewer described them) it’s great to be high up in the open air. It was interesting to see plans for a complete refurbishment of the tower and its surroundings, which will make future visits even more enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended!

Good alternative to Eiffel tower. The view is better. The only problem was that the app didn't work very well and the information given there was limited

Compared to other observation platforms worldwide, this is about as basic as they come! You enter through a deserted and pretty derelict and grubby shopping concourse, into a poorly signposted lobby that the 1970s clearly forgot. The lift may be fast but it is completely lacking in anything that builds excitement. Once you arrive, the facilities are again, basic. Taking a few steps further up the the graffiti covered stairs leads to the outside observation deck itself. Great views of this wonderful city, but you’ll be done in 10-15 minutes. There’s an average cafe, but little else to spend your time on. The best view of Paris? Maybe, but it badly needs refurbishment for a modern audience.

Perhaps even better place than Eiffel Tower expecially at night. You could see Eiffel Tower with sparkle lights as we did ❤️

Our Tour Gp did not manage to get the tickets for Eiffel Tower so this was a replacement, and a great one we found out. Named after Mount Parnassus, the Greek mountain, Montparnasse Tower is Paris’ only skyscraper and at 689ft high. Europe’s fastest lift takes less than 50 seconds to reach the viewpoint from the 56th-floor terrace! Second to the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower is a must-visit as it offers undoubtedly one of the best panoramas in the city, on a clear day to get spanning views across the capital Indeed breathtaking, and very cold (windy) when we move around at the open terrace, on a Friday day noon-time. Spectacular 360° view of Paris as we keep looking out for the main sights of Paris including Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and Sacré Coeur. The smaller monuments/districts like Invalides, Notre-Dame, Montmartre will need some help from the location indicators. At the lower level there are numerous audio-visual and interactive installations for tourists to explore and understand Paris better. Love the experience. A must-visit

The Montparnasse tower dominates the Paris skyline. When we visited it was surprisingly empty. We made our way up with no information as to what to do and walked around looking at the views from all angles guessing what we were looking at. We found a stairway up to the rooftop terrace which gave even better views across all the sights of Paris. There was a cafe which seemed empty with no atmosphere and a gift shop selling all the usual Paris souvenirs. It could be so much more. Better information on arrival and during the visit would have made a huge difference and enhanced the experience.
