- Pablo VOlivos, Argentina1,353 contributionsJust as the title says, visiting the Eiffel Tower is moving and impressive. No tourist or visitor can leave Paris, without having visited this place. It's awesome: For the height of more than 300 meters; the views that are obtained from the different platforms and the engineering work that its creator made. It's touching: For what this monument means for those of us who have flown more than 12,000 km to get there, and for all the events of history of which the tower has been a luxury spectator. For all that and a few more reasons, it was exciting my visit to the tower and that is why also, I recommend it to everyone who can do it. I bought my ticket on the official website, two months before, because I wanted to choose day and time, and I think it is the best to organize. I can also mention that I took for Sunday morning the ascent to the top, because I booked for noon the Brunch at Madamme Braserie, which deserves a separate comment. Luckily, everything was carried out on time and I could really enjoy every stage of my visit. Access is very well organized, and for those of us who had the ticket purchased previously, it was comfortable and fast. Of course it depends on the budget you have, but for anyone who wants to give a taste, I totally recommend doing the combined experience of climbing to the top and then doing Brunch. Better that I explain, see for yourself all the rates and options that are offered, on the official website, for each of the experiences.

- NicolasM2011Caracas, Venezuela53 contributionsPlace to go day (for photos) and night (to see it illuminated). I consider dedicating a maximum of 3 hours (climbing to the top by elevator) + the elevator queue to climb. Spend an hour on the grass at the front of the tower for bedtime, and if you like to drink a bottle of wine right there (there are many people who sell the bottles + glasses), you need cash to buy it. I recommend going up in the day to visualize the city better, and the earlier there will be less traffic upstairs. Buy tickets online, or arrive early to buy them directly at the box office (if you get them by queuing, the time varies depending on the time and time), for example in November, arriving at 8:30am, already by 9 have your ticket purchased and you will be in the queue to climb.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 26, 2024
- jktrockBaumholder, Germany1,874 contributionsWe bought the tickets on the spot at 9:30am on a very cold Saturday morning with no one in line. Wasn’t crowded in the morning. If you see the ad for “Immersive Walk” for free, be aware that you still have to book a spot online and wait in line.Visited February 2025Traveled with friendsWritten March 1, 2025
- RosthepenguinfanSheffield, United Kingdom10 contributionsThe Eiffel Tower is one of the world’s most famous attractions, something you MUST do when visiting Paris and a once in a lifetime experience. So, for the first time in my life, I went to the Eiffel Tower and it did not disappoint in the slightest. In fact, it exceeded my expectations massively! Here’s what happened: The queue was massive, so we were waiting for around 40-50 minutes which nearly destroyed my poor, poor legs. Please be careful if you are unable to wait in the long queues (for whatever reason) because you could be waiting for an hour or more. After the long wait, and getting past security (who were really nice), we took a lift to the middle part of the tower, but not the summit because it was fully booked. I was already blown away by the scale and beauty of the tower, but the view from just the middle part really put into perspective how small we really are. The view was so unimaginably vast, that I can’t even put it into words, so please, if you ever have the chance, go and see it for yourself. I would definitely recommend that you go to the Eiffel Tower, because it’s amazing, interesting and beautiful. The staff that were on duty when I was there were really friendly and polite, and I was never bored there. My only criticism is the gift shop, it was incredibly expensive. If you want to get a souvenir for your friends/family at home, for example a small, plastic Eiffel Tower keyring, you will have to pay 10 euros, per keyring!!! Do not bother in the gift shop because you could get a cheap plastic Eiffel Tower keyring anywhere else for much less than 10 euros! In conclusion, please go, it is amazing and beautiful, you will love it, but don’t bother in the gift shop.Visited February 2025Traveled with familyWritten February 18, 2025
- HanKellyBowling Green, Kentucky4,830 contributionsVisiting the Eiffel Tower was one of the highlights of our Paris trip! We used GetYourGuide to ensure we got in, which cost us a bit more ($268.42 for 2 adults and 2 kids), but it was worth it to skip the uncertainty and guarantee access to the top. We made it all the way to the summit, and the views were absolutely breathtaking—the entire city of Paris stretched out beneath us. Standing on the glass floor on the first level was a cool experience, especially for the kids. What we didn’t expect was how great the food, drinks, and souvenirs would be on the tower itself. We relaxed at the bar area with snacks and drinks, and the selection of souvenirs was better than some of the tourist shops below. Since we visited just before the Paris Olympics, we got to see some cool Olympic setups, including the massive Olympic rings hanging from the tower. It made the visit feel even more special! If you’re planning a visit, we highly recommend: Booking in advance (especially if you want to reach the summit). Budgeting extra for snacks, drinks, and souvenirs—it’s worth enjoying the experience fully! Taking your time—there’s more to do than just the view.Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten February 19, 2025
- GrammarGirlTorontoToronto, Canada213 contributionsI honestly just find the Eiffel Tower magical - it makes me very happy! We were in Paris the first week of June, and I had read that tickets were released online at midnight 60 days in advance. I attempted to buy them when they were released but had no luck – I was online for a few hours after midnight (Paris time) and the tickets for the next date were not available yet. Being Canadian, we have a 6-hour time difference, and by the time I woke up in the morning and checked, it was about 1 or 2 pm Paris time and all the tickets were sold out. This same scenario played out for several days. If this happens to you, don't get discouraged! More tickets are released closer to each date. Friends of ours traveling at the same time told us they had purchased stair access tickets 2 weeks before the trip. We waited until we got there. The day we arrived in Paris, we were able to get tickets online with elevator access to the second floor for the following night (a Wednesday). We bought 9 pm tickets, which was perfect. This gave us enough time to get up to the second floor and find a place to stand before the sun set around 9:45 pm. We then watched the city light up once it was dark and left around 10:45 pm. At that time, it was not crowded, and we could walk down the stairs at our own pace, stopping on the first floor to see the view from there. We did not go to the top, but really enjoyed the view from the second floor, and were able to walk around the entire viewing deck to see every angle. We could see the tower itself light up and got great photos standing below it while we were leaving. Finding the entrance was confusing. It's marked on a map on the website, but with some streets closed for the Olympics and security fencing around the whole structure, it took us some time to figure out how to get through the fence. Because we already had tickets and it was nighttime, we walked right through the first security checkpoint at the outer fence (there were a few short lines for people without tickets). There was a small line at the entrance to the elevators with a bit of a wait (about 20 minutes), and the elevator was packed full. I'm short and claustrophobic but was fine – it’s a short ride. We were a few minutes late for our arrival time, but this was no problem. At busier times, it would mean a longer wait to go up. There was an x-ray for bags at both entrances. I won't discuss the gift shop and food options there because the website is really informative. I highly recommend visiting!Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 27, 2024
- Voyageur de rêveGermany725 contributionsWe looked at the Eiffel Tower exclusively from the outside, and the view from below is impressive. The monumental structure rises majestically into the sky, and we could admire the filigree iron structure in all its size and detail. It was particularly fascinating how the tower changes shape depending on the incidence of light – the metal shimmers golden brown in sunlight, while it appears almost dramatic in cloudy skies. The area around the tower is also very welcoming. The extensive green spaces offer enough space for anyone who wants to hang around the tower, whether it's for a picnic or just to relax. From the Champ de Mars you have a beautiful view of the tower, and the large lawns provide a perfect contrast to the stone foundations of the tower. Unfortunately, it was at night, so we cannot post photos here, as night shots are not allowed to be published. Nevertheless, the sight of the tower at night – illuminated and in its full size – was simply breathtaking. However, it could not be overlooked that the Eiffel Tower is a very popular tourist destination, which was reflected in the large crowd. Especially in the evening, when many visitors visit the tower for the light show, there may be longer waiting times, both for access to the surrounding areas and for the view of the tower. The atmosphere was relaxed despite the many tourists, and we kept finding quiet moments where we could enjoy the details of the tower and the surrounding area in peace. The environment itself is well maintained, with wide paths, benches and lots of greenery. The well-kept gardens and fountains contribute to a relaxed atmosphere and offer new perspectives on the landmark. We used the time to view the tower from different angles and experience the impressive structure up close. The delicate ironwork and the huge arches are simply fascinating. The Eiffel Tower is a true masterpiece of engineering from the outside. Overall, visiting the Eiffel Tower without climbing it was an impressive experience. Even without experiencing the tower from the inside, its exterior beauty alone is worth a trip. The tower and the surrounding area are a perfect combination of historic architecture, quiet green spaces and a lively atmosphere.Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten December 27, 2024
- Alessandra C49 contributionsFirst time in Paris with the family and of course visit to the Eiffel Tower. Beautiful experience, we took the elevator up to the top. We purchased the tickets online about two months before our departure. I recommend going online around midnight because then it becomes increasingly difficult to choose the day and above all the time of the visit. Towards the top it is quite cold and always windy so you need to cover up. The view of the city is priceless, especially in the evening hours. Experience I would do again.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 16, 2024
- Paolo BMilan, Italy415 contributionsThere must be a climb up the tower. If you do not suffer from the height the top floor or alternatively the second floor offer a unique view and a breathtaking panorama. Clear and efficient lift service. I highly recommend making the electronic ticket to save half the time, otherwise making the ticket directly under the tower is easy to get even two hours in line before climbing.Visited December 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 4, 2025
- Biaaroundtheworld38 contributionsWhen you're at the top of the Eiffel tower, looking at Paris from the top - with a lot of wind I must say, please carry a strong coat ... you feel chosen, you feel special. It's really A MUST. Don't be scared of the kilometric lines on every step of the journey to the top. Believe me, it's all worthy. There are shops on each floor, coffee shops, souvenir stores and even a little museum showing the story of when the tower was built and its creator. My biggest tip is for you to find the machine at one of the last floors and get yourself an Eiffel Towels' coin. It's a beautiful souvenir and it costs 3 E. I carry it with me as a lucky charm!Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten December 22, 2024

I booked a “guided tour” for 4 adults + 5 children to go with the elevator up to the top @ CHF462.
Do not think you will “beat any queues” because there are two separate security checkpoints and you’ll have to queue for
those just like everybody else. The small print on your ticket will state (you’ll see that after purchasing, of course) that “skip the line” is *NOT* included in the ticket price.
When we got to the second security checkpoint queue, our guide said it will take “at least 30 minutes” which was clearly (a learned line?!) an underestimate as the queues were horrendous and it was clear it would take at least double, if not triple, that!
So we abandoned the whole thing as we’d have had to wait with the kids for >1 hour just to get past the checkpoint; waiting for your turn at the elevator (up and down) would’ve added even more. So we essentially threw away CHF462 plus (in total) 2-3 hours of our day for this. 👎
SAVE YOUR MONEY! Unless you have loads and can spend it on a VIP Skip-All-Lines $$$$ ticket.

What can I say, the "Old Dame" of Paris is always beautiful, I saw her for the first time on her 100th birthday and I saw her again now on her 134th. Always fascinating thanks to the fact that it stands out not having buildings as tall as it nearby. With a slender and very particular shape, all in iron. Beautiful and exciting, the most visited and photographed monument in France and perhaps beyond.
Booked the climb to the Sommet (top 3 floor, already from Italy on their official website no intermediaries because it cost much more) Attention: tickets go on sale 60 days in advance and are always limited. Practically there was never room for the top: I connected at midnight on the opening day of sales to find availability at 10 in the morning. (after keeping an eye on the site for some time beforehand). In the morning there was already only availability except in the evening. Otherwise you have to try your luck on site and queue at the risk of not being able to get on. I advise you to book them in advance, the day before the visit they will send you a reminder via email to remind you to show up at least 20 minutes before your booking to do the checks and access the parterre of the Tower (which is now closed by windows to allow entry after the checks) In 20 minutes we entered the Parterre and then immediately headed to one of the pylons, there was no queue, nothing, another security check and we got on the first lift that arrived. The elevator makes a stop on the 1st floor whoever wants to go down or you can continue up to the second. Here those who have a reservation for the top queue up and do a further check and get on another lift which takes you to the top in 120 seconds. Beautiful view, nothing to say.
To go down, take the lift again (for those who have a ticket) to the second floor, where there is a bar and shops, a panoramic view, and take the lift back down again to the first floor where there is a bar and restaurant. From there we decided to go down the stairs to get a different point of view. Up to the second you can also only go up the stairs.
Climbing the Tower certainly cannot be missed on a trip to Paris. My children were very happy with this much-needed visit. (reason for the trip for them) Total cost of going up the 3rd floor in the lift 70.80 euros for 2 adults and 2 children.

The Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly the main Attraction of Paris, and it's all about business! We have overpaid for tickets in advance, if you do not get them in advance, on site it is impossible to buy them, endless hours of queues and the top of the tower is always sold out, probably because tour operators buy tickets in blocks, and this is incorrect!
The first floor is the most beautiful one, bar, brasserie and you can walk on the glass floor 57 meters high, the anonymous second floor, does not add much to the experience of the first! The summit is 360-degree panoramic, the view is breathtaking! As for the Guide, there is nothing to say, because he said nothing! He spoke only in Spanish, and he must have spoken 5 minutes, the Eiffel Tower has who knows what story to tell!

The staff was not up to the job, I came with my two young children and my wife 5 months pregnant.
We asked to be able to pass at 9pm instead of 10pm because my wife was tired and refrigerated it was refused and we did not even have a lounge or coffee warm to wait, I find that this is not up to the All Eiffel, and the expected standing given the price paid.
The same for the descent no special queue pregnant women, so we waited up more than 1 hour at the start and 30 minutes for the descent.
I'm very disappointed.

I booked a guided tour of the Eiffel Tower with access to the top (price €240)
It was a Christmas present from my grandchildren (age 7 and 10) and we came from Aix en Provence on purpose. First surprise, the visit was only with an English speaking guide, we do not understand English..., 2nd surprise, we did not enjoy any privileges, for example skip the line, result two hours waiting, including 3/4 lost listening to explanations in English, of course! 3 rd surprise, at the time of taking the tickets the summit was closed, result, access only to the 2 nd and of course, the summit reopened during the visit, but we could not access it, having only access to the second. If we had bought our tickets for the second one ourselves the cost would have been 56€. It seemed legitimate to claim the refund of the difference, that is 184€, I was made charity to transfer 30€. When I asked for the rest, I was told: that's how it is, you will have nothing more, basically, circulate there is nothing to see. As a result, I got ripped off of €134, which is only a little, compared to the disappointment of my grandchildren. Reading other reviews on different sites, I am not the only one who has suffered the malice of this company!

I wanted my son to have a great trip so I booked with my travel agent to dine at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Our experience was absolutely horrible we had no view of the city from where we were seated, the food was under cooked and difficult to even cut into, no flavor, tasteless, horrible service, the dessert that that I ordered was suppose to be Ice cream, but it was cheap "Ice Milk" we paid 500 Euros to dine there and with the exchange rate that they charged me was $822 US. It was booked through Advanti and they said that nothing was garuteed. We thought that we were going to be seated on the first floor of the restaurant with a view, as stated on our itinerary, but instead was seated between two other couples in a very cramped table with no view at all. I rate this experience " O "

There was a lot of anticipation to finally see it live and I must say that, at least during the day, aesthetically it is really ugly. An Enel pylon looks like a mass here. Then at night it becomes magical thanks to the scenic effect of the lights that cover it. However, the panorama that can be seen from above certainly deserves to be seen by everyone. The lines and checks to access the tower are exhausting. I recommend booking tickets online at least to partially reduce the inconvenience of the interminable waits.

We had no idea you could book in advance and you need to do it literally months in advance so we weren’t able to. But it doesn’t really matter as if you go and queue an hour or so in the morning before it opens you won’t have to wait long.
Normally that would be fine apart from we were due to go up the tower the day after it snowed in Paris for the first time in 20 years so they had closed the tower until 1pm and despite a group of us queueing - no staff came out to tell us this not were there any signs !! We only found out as a kind passer by let us know it was on their website. So make sure you check website if the weather is not so good!
We came back at 1pm and got into the gardens pretty quickly, another queue which wasn’t too bad to get tickets up the tower as it’s free to go the gardens and then a small queue to go up in the lift. Unfortunately due the weather the summit was closed so we only got to go the second level bug to be honest the views were still great and we enjoyed spotting the other landmarks. We chose to walk back down rather than wait again and did see a few brave people walking up!
It is expensive but the views are worth it and you can say you have been up the icon!

It is the quintessential icon of Paris, so visiting it is mandatory.
The best option is to purchase the ticket online a few days before the visit, since the line to purchase the tickets and enter the visit takes a long time (you have to go through security checks).
I highly recommend going to the top level, but by elevator, since Paris is naturally a city to explore on foot and climbing the Eiffel Tower by stairs can be quite exhausting.
There are mixes in ticket sales: going up stairs and elevator, stairs only, etc.
The views from the different angles of the viewpoints are magnificent! The tower has QR codes, and using them you get super cool templates for photos with tower filters.

* It's really the eye of Paris. For sure you will be impressed by visiting it.
* It takes about 2 hrs to visit.
* My suggestion is to buy ticket in advance. You may face the long line.
* Depending the season be ready for weather, it could be very cold, windy or sunny so check the weather before and dress well.
* You can eat there, not expensive.
* Leaders mostly talk in french and don't like to talk in English.
* I suggest you to go in a time that you could see both day and night of eifel. Each one has its beauty.

I am driving from Calais to Euro Disney but want to go via the Eifel Tower. Is there a route that avoids the Arc de Triomphe? I have reserved parking near the tower.

I tried lots of bank cards, mobile and PC, friends, rang my bank, spent hours and hours without success. Very poor. Just book on the day, if you don’t need the lift up you’ll be ok !

If you want to know whether you can avoid the second floor , I am sure that is possible, as they are separate tickets to the top floor and separate tickets to the 2nd floor

How long should we plan for if using the stairs to the second level?
Written August 11, 2024
Il secondo livello è possibile arrivare solo con l'ascensore puoi prenderlo da piano terra o dal primo livello.
mentre da piano terra al primo livello andando ad un passo normale ci potresti mettere 10 minuti, se invece lo fai approfittando per vedere anche il panorama esterno e interno alla torre io ci ho messo circa mezz'ora!

Will I be able to picnic on the lawn in front of Eiffel Tower or visit the Trocodero Gardens Aug 27 - Aug 30 after the main Olympics? Will there still be any construction blocking the usage of these areas?

You can still picnic on the grounds by the Eiffel Tower.

Will I need to apply for a Pass Jeux to visit here without going up on July 28 and 28 due to the Olympics?

To all people who want to go up the Eiffel Tower, I would say buy tickets from the OFFICIAL SITE unless you want to pay through the nose. The price to get to the 2nd floor is: 18.80 Euros and 9.40 for 12-24 year olds
to get to the top it's 29.40 Euros and 14.70 for 12-24 yr olds.
I have taken the steps to the 1st floor: there are 365 steps.
If you have any French at all, look up the Tour Eiffel Site Officiel.
