Paris from the heights of the Eiffel Tower

One tower, different ways to discover Paris

One tower, different ways to discover Paris

The Eiffel Tower offers a different perspective of the French capital. From its floors, you can contemplate the famous Seine River, the Champ de Mars, and the rooftops of Paris, while discovering up close the structure that makes the monument a symbol of the city.

Choose how to experience it: go up to the summit by elevator or climb the stairs to the second floor, an option that allows you to observe the details of the tower during the ascent. Climbing on foot involves approximately 700 steps, so it's worth considering the effort when choosing your ticket option.

If you want to go higher, select an option with access to the summit, whose final stretch is by elevator from the second floor. You can also opt for a guided tour in English to learn about the history and architecture of the monument, or explore on your own with the stairs ticket to the second floor.

Date and time of your visit

Choose from the available dates and times when booking. If your option includes a guide or accompaniment, arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes early.

Choose how to go up

Access by elevator or stairs to the second floor, depending on your ticket option. Climbing on foot involves approximately 700 steps; wear comfortable shoes.

Second floor or summit

Enjoy the views from the second floor or choose a ticket that includes the summit, which is reached by elevator from the second floor. Not all options include this access.

Paris from another perspective

Contemplate the Seine River, the Champ de Mars, and the rooftops of Paris from above, and observe up close the details of the iron structure of the Eiffel Tower.
