Discover the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is the most famous monument in Paris and one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel and completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle, it was built to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution and quickly became the emblem of the French capital. Standing 324 meters tall, the Iron Lady dominates the Paris skyline and welcomes millions of visitors each year.
Ascend to the Eiffel Tower Summit
This experience includes timed-entry access to the summit of the Eiffel Tower, the highest level open to visitors. From this exceptional vantage point, you’ll ride up through the tower and step onto the top platform to enjoy wide, unobstructed views over Paris and the surrounding region.
Admire the Paris Skyline
From the observation decks, you can admire many of the city’s most iconic sights: the Seine River curving through Paris, the Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the hill of Montmartre crowned by the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Interactive displays and orientation tables help you identify each monument and district so you can better understand the layout of the City of Light.
A Timeless Symbol of Paris
Originally conceived as a temporary structure, the Eiffel Tower has become a permanent symbol of Paris and one of the most visited monuments in the world. Today it represents French engineering, innovation and romance, making it a must-see highlight for first-time visitors and returning travellers alike.
