With our standard ticket, you’ll have access to the first and second floor of the Eiffel Tower. Choose to climb the steps up to the second floor or go for a ride in the elevator!

You’ll be escorted by an expert guide who will tell you about the history of the landmark throughout the tour. When you reach the second floor, you’ll be mesmerised by incredible views of the Louvre, Grand Palais, Notre Dame, and more! Providing you with a unique view of the city, this is the perfect photo opportunity as you capture the River Seine and main attractions of the city. As you explore the second floor, you’ll find a Michelin-star restaurant and two gift shops for you to browse and buy a souvenir from.

If you have chosen to purchase the summit ticket, you’ll be able to access the top of the Eiffel Tower at a height of 276m! As Paris lies at your feet, use the panoramic map that allows you to get an idea of the distance and direction of different cities around the world.
