350+ steps!

Great view from the top. However, 350+ steps up a narrow circular stairway. Hard to stop and rest on the way. Worth it if you are ok with the climb.

We climbed to the top and had fun watching the cars buses and bikes queue for placement in the roundabout. No audio tour so one must read to understand.

Able to say been there, Done that. The view down the hill to the Centre is wonderful.

We had been on a walking tour and ended up at the Arc. In spite of being warned of long queues and masses of people we had no trouble getting tickets and walking upstairs. The view down the road into Paris Centre is stunning and...More

The biggest of arches you'll see in Paris

The trip to arrive here on the Champs de la ... (don't know how to spell but you'll know) with its wide street and wide green area is spectacular. Once you arrive the chaos of traffic is amazing. We're told that there are frequently demonstrations...More

Go to the roof top for a great view! We didn’t have any pickpocket or yellow vest issues during our recent visit, just pay attention to your surroundings. If you have mobility issues, there is a lift... you just need to... More

My boyfriend and I are EU citizens and are 25 so we will get in for free I think. But are we able to book a free ticket online in advance so we don't need to queue? Or do we even need to queue when we get there for a ticket?

Sorry, we did not enter the Arc de Triomphe proper. We stayed in a hotel near it and walked there to access public transportation and tour buses, etc.

Hi! My partner has bought a ticket but I have a European Passport. Can I skip the line and enter only with it or do I still need to get a free ticket at the box office? I'd like to avoid queueing if that's possible. Thanks!
