    Beautiful and Historic

    This is a very busy place. Lots of tourist. Stay safe. Use the underground tunnels to get to the arc. Lots of photo opportunities. A must see in paris.

    Great Parisian icon

    The Arc de Triomphe is a great way to see the city, as the view from the top gives you a great view of your surroundings and, of course, the Parisian ‘Grande Damme’, the Eiffel Tower. The museum inside is interesting, and admission is free...More

    Great views, crowded but worth a climb

    Very crowded and long lines, but with our Paris Pass we could skip the lines and head straight for the climb up the never-ending spiral staircase. Don't head for the stairs if you have bad knees or other health issues that would make climbing lots...More

    Worth a photo

    The iconic arc de Triomphe is set on perhaps one of the craziest Roundabouts in France, so be careful crossing the road. Worth standing in the arch and looking up where you will see some fabulous stonework. Not a quiet place but a truly magnificent...More

    One of the famous Icon located very near to Eiffel Tower

    We visited last week. What a beauty. Nicely maintained. Roads approaching this ICON have everything (all the fashion brands one can think off) so be ready for shopping too.

    So many steps

    It was fun seeing the inside of the Arc de Triomphe. You take an underground pass, cross the street, and viola, you’re there.

    The terrace is very big and basically goes around the whole top of the Arc de Triomphe. I don’t know if you can hold private events there. I guess it’s the best if you inquire with the official website of the monument.
