Pro tips to help you make a pick

Second-floor tickets grant access to the 1st and 2nd floors, offering panoramic views of Paris at 115 meters (377 feet). Summit tickets include all three levels, with breathtaking views from Europe’s highest observation deck.

Elevators take you directly to the 1st and 2nd floors, with a separate elevator connecting the 2nd floor to the summit. Stairs (674 steps) to the 2nd floor offer shorter wait times and a closer look at the tower’s intricate structure.

Reserved entry skips the ticket purchase queue. Everyone has to clear the bag check at the tower's base. Elevator access is timed to your slot, while stairs to the 2nd floor has a separate, usually shorter line.

Dining at Madame Brasserie on the first floor includes private elevator access. Reservations do not include access to higher levels like the second floor or summit, but you are free to explore the first floor after your meal.

Tickets sell out fast, especially for the summit. Book online as early as possible—ideally 60 days in advance, particularly during peak tourist seasons.Summit access sells out first, often 60 days ahead in peak season. If gone, try the 2nd-floor tour (separate inventory) or the Grévin and Palais Galliera combos, which use flexible entry rather than a fixed slot.

About Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower, a global symbol of Paris, rises 324 meters high. Built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel, it boasts three levels, each offering unique perspectives of the city. The top level provides sweeping views of Parisian landmarks, while the first two levels host exhibitions and dining options. Its intricate iron lattice design and nightly light show make it an architectural and cultural marvel.

Did you know?

Gustave Eiffel, the man behind the Eiffel Tower, once had a private apartment on the third floor. Now open to visitors, it still has its original décor, giving a peek into his world and the style of his time.

The Eiffel Tower undergoes repainting every 7 years to preserve its legendary appearance. This meticulous process requires approximately 60 tons of paint to cover the entirety of the structure, ensuring its continued visual splendor.

The Eiffel Tower's height can vary by up to 6 inches, depending on the changing temperature. In summer, the iron expands, and in winter, it contracts.

Acting as a natural lightning conductor, the Eiffel Tower encounters an annual average of 10 lightning strikes. Its towering structure and strategic location contribute to this phenomenon.

Originally pained as reddish-brown, the Eiffel Tower underwent various color transformations before settling into its present hue, known as "Eiffel Tower Brown," blending bronze and brown tones for its distinctive appearance.

Why visit Eiffel Tower?

A Design Wonder

The official website of the Eiffel Tower describes it as a 'veritable technical feat,' and it's true. The tower's construction took two years and two months to complete, and the design is as intricate and complicated as possible. 2 million rivets hold the entire metal structure together, and these metal pieces are so small yet work perfectly to hold the giant edifice. 

Contribution to Science

The Eiffel Tower was initially supposed to last only for 20 years after the 1889 Paris World’s Fair. The creator, Gustave Eiffel, found a way to preserve this project and declared it scientifically significant. The tower then served as a site for wind studies, astronomical observations, and a telegraph communications point. Today, it is engraved with the names of 72 scientists to honor their work in their respective fields. 

Aerial View

The Eiffel Tower stands gracefully at the height of 324 meters, and from the top, the City of Lights looks breathtaking. Directly to your north, you can spot the Trocadéro gardens, skirted with Palais Chaillot and the museums. Then, you can catch a glimpse of a majestic golden dome – that’s Les Invalides, the final resting place of Napolean. Not to forget, the sight of the Seine River is simply unrivaled.

Unmatched Dining Experience

Some experiences happen once in a lifetime, and a chance to dine at one of the Michelin-starred restaurants, such as Jules Verne, is one of those events. Soak in the enchanting views of Paris and sip on some sparkling champagne as you dig into the exquisite French cuisine with your loved ones. This entire savory encounter is bound to enhance your sensory pleasures!

Spectacular Night Lights

As the night falls, the darkness embraces the City of Lights. Just then, the twilight sensors on the Eiffel Tower activate, and the tower gets covered in the glow of over 20,000 bulbs, lighting up Paris like nothing else. It happens for five minutes every hour of the evening. Fun fact: the illumination takes about 4% of the tower’s yearly energy expenses!
