Eiffel Tower Dedicated Reserved Summit Access by Elevator
Wheelchair Accessibility
No
Timed tickets carry you by lift past the second floor to the 276-metre summit. The reservation covers the part travellers most often miss, since summit access sells out before general entry. Gustave Eiffel's restored office sits at the top, alongside a champagne bar and a 360-degree panorama. Clear weather makes the difference between a hazy outline and a sweep across the whole city.
- The Eiffel Tower draws roughly seven million visitors a year, the most-visited paid monument in the world.
- Reviewers single out the evening sparkle, when twenty thousand bulbs light the tower for five minutes each hour after dusk.
- Sunset slots earn the warmest reviews, pairing daylight orientation with the light show seen from above.
Tips
- Book the summit slot well ahead; it sells out before second-floor tickets and cannot always be added on site.
- Arrive fifteen to thirty minutes before your time to clear airport-style security, which the operator does not control.
- The summit closes in high wind without notice; keep the partial-refund terms in mind.
- Time your slot for dusk to catch the hourly five-minute light show from the top.
- Watch for pickpockets in the queues and on the esplanade below.
- For the classic photograph of the tower, cross to the Trocadero terraces before or after your visit.
