It took us a while to get seated, because the process of getting to the restaurant from the first security gate was complicated. We thought they would simply scan the bars code on our reservation and let us in, but first we had to give our name to be crossed off their list, then get a paper ticket, then go to a second security gate where they scanned the paper ticket, then we had to give our name again to get crossed off another list, and finally we could enter the restaurant. We wondered why the process wasn't streamlined and all digitally scanned. Once we got seated, we had a great experience. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. Our only complaint was the bread and crème de Chou were a little dry/stale, otherwise it was a very flavorful meal with nice choice of dishes. We had plenty of time after the meal to walk around the observation deck and enjoy views of Paris. We chose to walk down the steps to return to ground level. It was quick and also a great way to see the steel structure of the tower up close.

Making the reservation of tickets and get the tickets on the phone 1 day before is great. Everything with tickets goes well. Cruising on the Seina on the boat was not what I had been expected. The boat was very crowded and we did not make to take some good photos because of crowd. On the day of cruising was the level of water on Seina very high and the opened upper floor on the boat was closed. Visiting the arch of triumph was the excellent experience. We were visit it by night and is beautiful view around from the top.
Eiffel Tower Climbing Experience

Eiffel Tower Tickets Guide

The Eiffel Tower is by far one of the most recognized landmarks in not just Paris but the world. The magnificent iron structure towers over the city and has been defined as a strong Parisian symbol. The Eiffel Tower attracts millions of visitors each year who head to the top and soak in unparalleled views of the City of Love. If you are planning a visit, read on to know about all your Eiffel Tower tickets and tour options, along with essential information like opening hours, entrances, summit access, and more.
Being the most coveted Parisian experience, Eiffel Tower is a highly sought-after experience offering a variety of ticket options. From skip the line tickets and guided tours to Eiffel Tower summit access and guided climbing experiences, find the ticket option best suited to you. With millions of visitors reaching the monument every year, ticket and waiting lines can be quite long and excruciating. It is therefore advised that you book your tour package online before you reach the monument.
With millions of tourists visiting the monument every year, ticket queues and waiting lines tend to be really long and could setback your trip by over 2 hours. With skip-the-line Eiffel Tower tickets you can beat the crowd and get direct access to the first/second level (depending on your package) and the Summit (optional).

Why go for these tickets?

  • Priority access to the second floor: With skip the line tickets, you have the option to whizz past the ticket line and secure an early entrance to the second-floor lift to the summit. As the summit can only be accessed by a lift, it gives you a better chance at making it to the top as you can skip past long ticket queues at the counter. 
  • Fastest access to Eiffel Tower: With skip the line Eiffel Tower tickets, you can skip the long waiting times at the ticket counters and head straight to the stairs or elevators, depending on your package. This makes it the fastest way to gain entry to the monument. It is the best ticket option if you’re on a time-bound trip. 
  • Local guide: Depending on your ticket, you’ll also be joined by a professional guide who’ll accompany you till the second level and guide you to the summit lift. Choose the best Eiffel Tower tour to enjoy the various attractions on the monument with a splash of history and trivia, courtesy of your knowledgable guide.

Recommended Experiences

Whizz past long waiting lines, and head to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower with your tickets. Then, go for a fascinating city tour and enjoy a 1-hour Seine River Cruise as you soak in the many Parisian sights.
A decision you might have to make is to choose Eiffel Tower stairs vs lift tickets. If you choose to climb the steps, you have a better chance of avoiding the long queues that one might find with opting for lift access. Your ticket may also include a guided tour.
With over 1,700 stairs spread across three levels, climbing the Eiffel Tower on foot is an experience of a lifetime. The stairs offer some of the best views of Paris from varying heights. If you choose to take the elevator, you can head up to the 2nd floor directly and then based on your ticket, visit the summit. The steps are not ideal for those who are short on time, but benefit in terms of smaller crowds, while lift access sees larger crowds.

Why go for these tickets?

  • Climb at your own pace: The biggest advantage of the Eiffel Tower stair tickets is that they save a lot of your waiting time. The stairs are usually not crowded and can be accessed in under 30 minutes of purchasing the ticket.
  • Fast track Eiffel Tower access: The Eiffel Tower has three elevators - The North, East, and West. You can skip the line at the Eiffel Tower lift by purchasing skip-the-line tickets.
  • Optional Summit Access: Situated at a jaw-dropping height of 276 meters above the ground, the summit is the highest accessible point of the Eiffel Tower. The summit can only be accessed via glass-walled elevators from the second floor and require a separate ticket. While choosing your Eiffel Tower stairs or elevator tickets, make sure you add these optional tickets to get the best eagle’s view of Paris.

Recommended Experiences

With a professional guide, climb to the 1st and 2nd floors of the Eiffel Tower as part of a small group and get a close look at its internal structure and architecture. Upgrade your ticket to visit the summit via elevator.
At a whopping 276 meters (905 feet) from the ground, the Eiffel Tower Summit is one of the highest points to observe the city from as you look down to see a "miniature" Paris city thrive under your feet. With a glass-walled elevator, the ascent is also nothing short of exhilarating. You'll also get to visit the secret Eiffel Tower apartment that was once Gustave Eiffel's office. Composed of realistic wax characters, this office evokes the era when this architectural masterpiece first came to life.

Why go for these tickets?

  • Unparalleled view of Paris: Eiffel Tower Summit offers one of the most breathtaking views of the Parisian skyline. Using the telescopes at the summit, you will be able to spot various other famous Parisian landmarks, all while enjoying a light breeze. It is truly an experience no one should miss.
  • Champagne with a view: Nestled within the platforms, head to the champagne bar for a drink with a view. A non-alcoholic drink is also available, so the whole family can celebrate the magical moment.
  • Secret Apartment on the Summit: Gustave Eiffel's recently renovated office is lined with paisley wallpaper, wooden furniture, and paintings and features life-like wax models depicting the Tower’s creator and his daughter Claire welcoming the famous American inventor, Thomas Edison.
