Overview
The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world, receiving over 7 million visitors a year. The tower has three levels: the first floor (57m, glass floor and restaurants), the second floor (115m, panoramic views) and the summit (276m, Gustave Eiffel's private office). Standard tickets take the elevator to the second floor. Summit tickets continue by a separate smaller elevator to the top. Staircase tickets (674 steps to the second floor) are cheaper and skip the elevator queue.
Skip-the-line tickets bypass the general admission queue, which can exceed 2 to 3 hours in summer. Guided tours add commentary on the tower's construction, history and engineering. Combo tickets pair the Eiffel Tower with a Seine cruise, Louvre visit or Paris bus tour. Book summit tickets 2 to 3 months in advance for summer visits.
