Paris: Eiffel Tower, Second Floor or Summit
Ideal for a first visit with a guide
Paris
Eiffel Tower
For the Eiffel Tower, the first decision is the level you want to reach. Second-floor admission and summit access are different options. Next, compare how you go up and what assistance or explanation is actually included in the experience.
Choosing the viewpoint you want
Choose a level for the view you want rather than assuming that the highest option is right for everyone. Consider the route as well as the time you would like to spend looking out. If you are travelling with children or someone who finds stairs difficult, make that part of the decision from the start.
Compare an assisted-entry experience with a guided one by reading the service description. Help at check-in is not the same thing as a full guided visit.
Second floor, summit, lift or stairs
A second-floor ticket does not automatically include the summit. Check the level stated in the selected option and whether the ascent uses a lift or stairs. The tower’s operating conditions may affect summit access.
Keep the meeting time separate from the actual tower entry time when a supplier organises the check-in. Follow the order in your confirmation.
Security and accessibility
All visitors undergo security checks. Advance booking does not remove them, and luggage restrictions still apply. Take only what you need for the visit.
The tower’s official information allows lift access to the first and second floors for visitors with reduced mobility, but not to the summit. Confirm the chosen route and assistance arrangements before purchasing.
Allowing time for the ascent and descent
Allow for entry, waiting for lifts and the descent, not only the time at a viewpoint. Leave a margin before a restaurant reservation or river departure. If you want a particular light or time of day, choose a suitable available slot without assuming weather or visibility can be guaranteed.
Tower entrances and tour meeting points
The official address is 5 avenue Anatole France. Bir-Hakeim and École Militaire are among the metro approaches listed by the tower. Check transport updates for your day. For an organised experience, go first to the supplier’s confirmed meeting point, which may be away from the tower entrance.
