Eiffel Tower

Ascend the Eiffel Tower as Gustave Eiffel intended—on foot. He believed walking offered the best experience, so we created the original Eiffel Tower Guided Climb. Follow your local guide inside to learn about its engineering, design, and once-controversial story.Pause on the first floor to see a salvaged spiral staircase and step onto the glass floor for a unique vantage point. Then continue to the second level for sweeping views of the Louvre, Notre Dame, Montmartre, the Seine, and beyond. Treat yourself to macarons or shop for souvenirs before your guided tour concludes.If you’ve selected the summit upgrade, board a glass-walled elevator to the pinnacle. Peek into Gustave Eiffel’s restored office—complete with wax figures of Claire and Thomas Edison—and explore historical exhibits. If you’d like a toast at the champagne bar, please note any drinks are at your own expense. Per tower rules, head straight to the summit from the second floor, then revisit the lower levels afterward.
