- Matteo SVenice, Italy28 contributionsWorld ClassA true French monument in steel that has withstood the times like every other structure in Paris. View from the tower is amazing. Get early and hope its a clear day. No showers and wind and you get 360 view of ParisVisited November 2022Written 11 December 2022
- martinIreland218 contributionsThe online ticket sales are a scamOnline ticket sales are a scam. When I went to buy tickets for the Eiffel Tower online it said tickets to the top are sold out and I could only buy tickets to the second floor. So, I purchased two tickets for the second floor. However, on the day of my visit when I arrived the place was almost deserted so went up to the ticket office and the lady there said there is tickets to the top for sale but I couldn't get a refund for my original tickets or pay the difference of the cost. This is a complete money scam to get people to buy tickets online and then again when they visit.Visited December 2022Written 12 December 2022
- niinan2Nurmijarvi, Finland1,595 contributionsJust outsideI visited the Eiffel Tower about 15 years ago so I was surprised to see the "visitor center" build below it. I have to say that it's not an improvement from the viewers point of view but perhaps it was needed for thw tourist who go in. Before it was possible to walk under the tower but no longer. Als there were fenging around the park area behind the tower.. not very pretty. Anyway the tower is always on impressive sight to see. Perhaps one day I will go inside too.Visited November 2022Written 12 December 2022
- KspellerEnfield, United Kingdom907 contributionsMagical at nightYou can't go to Paris and not visit the Eiffel Tower. We decided to go at night as the day time was a bit grey. We booked tickets online before we travelled, I'm glad we did as the queue were very long. You can't walk underneath the tower anymore because if security reasons which is fair enough. We had booked tickets for the lift, I'm glad we did as it was very cold and it takes time to get up to the top through the various levels. The views are breathtaking, every hour at this time of year the tower essentially sparkles - which you have to see to believe. It is busy up there but you're not rushed to get back down. It's so worth a visit.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 December 2022
- KimFxOldbury, United Kingdom782 contributionsLovely to see, amazing when lit up at nightWe went on a day trip to Paris so time was limited. We were unable to book tickets in advance however queues were minimal. We only had an hour to spend at Eiffel Tower and at €25 each we were about to enter however we were carrying a bottle of champagne which is forbidden so had to cancel. However, fabulous to see, lots of tourist stalls selling souvenirs at good prices.Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 14 December 2022
- MessyBun2020Denver, Colorado178 contributionsWorth to see, but don't bother going up the towerIt's a bit surreal when first standing there and taking in the Eiffel Tower. The website to buy tickets to go up the tower is confusing, and the dinner at the Eiffel is definitely not worth it. The lines to enter feel like you're in Disneyland. Long lines, winding around, and several security checks. The elevator is PACKED with people and when you get off it's super crowded, kids running around. It was a bit much. We had tickets to dinner. It took us 1 hour just to get through the lines and get to the level for dinner. Then we had tickets to go to the top for champagne. Again, overpriced and packed. We had to take stairs then get another elevator to reach the top. By the time we were done, I was done. It was too many people, too crowded, not worth it. I would have been fine to sit on the grass and look at the tower instead of the craziness trying to go up it.Visited July 2022Written 14 December 2022
- Missy MDanbury, Connecticut47 contributionsok in daylight, but the tour is disorganizedWe took this as part of the paris pass. Had an early reservation to ensure that we did the 'harder tour (walkwise) early. The tour guide was a little late, the eiffel tower delayed entry for a variety of reasons, then you had to wait on line for the guide to buy the tickets. We were well over an hour behind which caused us to miss out next reservation...was one of the least favoriteVisited October 2022Written 14 December 2022
- mikeUnited Kingdom2 contributionsChaosWent with my wife for our wedding anniversary overall experience was mediocre scenes of chaos filling lifts with as many people as possible security staff stand and watch just do nothing to make anyone feel safe. Overall disappointing experience wouldn’t go back again just needs organising to make people feel safe. I wouldn’t recommend taking children during peak times.Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 December 2022
- Robert HMinneapolis, Minnesota19 contributionsWhen in Paris, you simply must...It wasn't until I visited Paris that I realized that you can take your whole family and walk up the Eifel Tower and see all the views and experience the beauty. I mean, I knew people could take elevators to the top, but I thought those were reserved for high rollers and such. I did not know that thousands of people climb the stairs or take one of many elevators up to see the views every single day. You only have to wait in line for about 45 minutes and the cost is not much at all. Definitely recommend it, There was nothing to not like about this iconic landmark.Visited January 2022Written 22 December 2022
- Meg C5 contributionsGreat value for money - atmospheric at nightBought on foot tickets to the second floor. Great experience. No queues straight in - although your tickets are checked about four times! Great security and felt safe. Definitely got out steps in up to the first then second floor . The views were amazing. Visit was at night and wld recommend that time Dow the atmosphere and the fantastic light show seeing the tower lit up. Well worth the moneyVisited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 December 2022

Most of the staff were friendly, the food at the cafe on the first level was good but over priced, the views are amazing. Loved seeing Gustav Eiffel's office at the very top. Do it once because it's iconic.

This landmark is nothing short of amazing. You can see it from most places in Paris and it’s just stunning. I have been up it before and didn’t feel the need to go up again. It was just great to get good photos off it. Best place for pics is definitely Rue de L’universite. Combines street with landmark

Loved our trip to the summit.
Enjoyed champagne at the top while watching day turn to night. Beautiful once the city began to light up. Key to our success was to buy tickets 60 days in advance. Queue wasn’t too bad- about 30 minutes from when we entered line to when we got to 2nd floor. Then another line (about 10 minutes) to go from 2nd floor to summit) Line for elevators coming down was slow so next time might consider taking stairs down (but it was a bit chilly outside)

I have seen a lot of bad reviews about the Eiffel Tower tours. I would like a skip the line all the way to the top ticket/tour. It seems Viator is hit and miss. What is the best way to get to the top using the elevator and skipping the line? Or is it just better to buy the elevator ticket to the top without skip the line? Sorry a bit confused.

Do not buy any tour. Just try a few days before, you will find. That´s what I did. 2 months ago there was no place at all, 1 week before I got tickets to the summit (online).

At dusk. The Eiffel Tower has twilight sensors which are sensitive to light. These sensors cause the Eiffel Tower's lights to switch on 10 minutes after dusk when the city becomes dark and allow the tower to Sparkle.

Hi, I am planning visiting the tour in Octobre, however summit tickets are not available. I do not want to pay extra money in agencies, so, is there any alternative for buying to 2nd floor in the official website and the but the summit in the 2nd floor?
If I go early the day of the visit (8:30 am) shall I find summit tickets? Any help is welcome

There are only two things that I can think of: take the river cruise on the Seine and tour around the tower for a picture Op or just take pictures around the park that surrounds the tower. You will get great shots in. The other alternative is to have lunch in the restaurant inside the tower and at least you will be able to say you were in it. The restaurant from what I can understand is very pricey though.
não estou conseguindo comprar ingresso no site oficial da torre eiffel, na hora de finalizar diz que o pagamento foi recusado, mais alguem assim? já tentei vários cartões de crédito

I never went inside the tower. I just was on the grounds. The only thing I can say is that you can arrange a tour with a tour guide through their website. They are tough tickets to get.
No purchase of summit supplement possible at the Tower on the day of your visit - on any of the following dates or times on your website 10 , 11, 12 August - how is it possible?

I agreed to the same with the last two times we had the a few weeks of the month week and then the week after that we had a to go week of the June first so which is the same first time 🕰️ that you we had a month and then we had the whole weekend off and the weekend after so that I was able to do it for real 😳 I’m not sure what that was going through it but I know it wasn’t the right thing to do but it’s the best way to maintain early in set Dementia

bonjour
je voudrais savoir comment se passe la visite après la réservation?
si je prends une réservation y a t'il une file d'attente aux caisses?
je me doute que la montée par ascenseur doit attendre une place mais quelle est la durée maximum de la visite en cas de réservation?
si je prends 21h30 est-ce que cela donne le temps d'accéder en haut et profiter de la vue?
merci d'avance pour vos retours car c'est très peu clair dans la description de l'offre

Avec le billet réservé vous ne faites pas la queue à la billetterie mais uniquement aux portes d'accès pour les contrôles antiterroristes. une fois entré dans la tour, la visite est très rapide. les ascenseurs montent et descendent tout le temps. une heure et demie est largement suffisante pour contempler la vue, la tour et aussi la boutique de souvenirs. bonne visite !

Is it a single queue for all tickets or are there separate windows for taking the lift and for walking up?
Just looked to get tickets for our day but it's sold out, so trying to find a way of walking up without a long queue with 3 young children who want to walk up.

Each has its own queue, be aware that you might wait for 2-4 hours to buy the tickets. Also be aware that the third floor maybe sold out. Climbing the stairs takes less time to buy the tickets and much more effort obviously.
Hello!
We're visiting the Eiffel Tower this month would like to take the stairs to the 2nd floor and then the elevator to the summit. I've only found one tour provider that has this option (City Wonders), but the available time slot won't work with our schedule.
All other ticket options I've found have either stair access to the 2nd floor and no summit, or elevator access to both 2nd floor and summit.
Is it possible to purchase tickets summit tickets AFTER arriving on the 2nd floor? Or any other ways to do this?
Thank you in advance!

Sadly no you can’t walk to the summit, you can walk to the second platform and get a lift to the summit and walk down from second platform again.
I strongly advise booking and getting a ticket before hand as the queues are long and timely.my husband had booked time ticket to the summit and still waited an hour and twenty minutes, this wasn’t in season as you can see from date.
The queues for lift were long but they do move semi quickly but if your walking to the platforms this wouldn’t be a problem
Good luck totally worth it, we will return as we missed going up at night
