How much does it cost to visit the Eiffel Tower?
Ticket prices vary by level and ticket type. As a guide, adult elevator tickets to the second floor start around $35, while summit access can be around $50 or more. Children and young visitors receive discounted rates. Booking online in advance helps you secure the best options.
What are the opening hours of the Eiffel Tower?
The Eiffel Tower is generally open every day from morning until late evening, with extended hours in summer. Exact times can vary by season and level, so always check the official Eiffel Tower website or your Tiqets ticket details before you go.
When does the Eiffel Tower sparkle and light up?
The golden illumination switches on at dusk and stays lit until around 1:00 AM (later in peak summer). For five minutes at the start of every hour after dark, thousands of sparkling lights shimmer across the tower. Popular viewpoints include Trocadéro, Pont de Bir‑Hakeim, and the Champ de Mars lawns.
Is the Eiffel Tower accessible for people with reduced mobility?
The first and second levels are accessible by elevator for visitors with reduced mobility, with step-free viewing platforms and facilities. Due to space and safety constraints, the summit is not wheelchair accessible. Allow extra time for lifts and always follow on-site staff guidance.
Can I take photos at the Eiffel Tower?
You are welcome to take personal photos and videos from all public areas of the tower during the day. For commercial photography or filming, special permissions are required, and the nightly light show is subject to additional copyright rules.
How long should I plan for my Eiffel Tower visit?
Most visitors spend 2–3 hours including security, elevator rides, and time on each level. During peak times, queues for security and lifts can add extra waiting, so allow a bit more if you are visiting at sunset, weekends, or during school holidays.
What should I know before visiting?
Dress for the weather—temperatures and wind can feel cooler at height—and wear comfortable shoes. Large bags, glass bottles, and sharp objects are not allowed. Arrive early, keep your tickets handy, and consider pairing your visit with a Seine river cruise to see the tower from the water.
The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World’s Fair as a bold showcase of French engineering. Rising 330 meters above the Seine, its iron lattice design was once controversial and temporary, but it has become the most recognisable symbol of Paris and one of the most visited paid monuments in the world.
Today, the tower hosts immersive exhibits, restaurants, a glass-floor first level, and a champagne bar at the summit. Whether you’re visiting for sweeping skyline views, architectural history, or a romantic evening under the lights, the Eiffel Tower is a must‑see on any Paris itinerary.
