    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

    Evening at Arc de Triumphe

    What a cool place! 284 steps to the top is not easy but worth the view. It cost 12 euros & if you check the website for the Arc they tell you the wait time. Do not run across traffic to get there, look for...More

    Missed this the first trip

    So, this was my second trip to Paris. Take the time to cross under the traffic circle to the monument, and to climb to the top. IMO this is the best place to get a view of the city. Remember that pictures from the Eiffel...More

    A must.

    If you're stopping by the Louvre and also the Arch, savings derived if purchase a multi-day museum pass!

    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.
