The Eiffel Tower: an icon, a dream, and a must-see for anyone visiting Paris.

Eiffel Tower Tickets: Your Essential Guide for 2025
Visiting the Eiffel Tower is often at the top of every Paris itinerary. To ensure a smooth and memorable experience, understanding the ticket options, prices, and best booking strategies for 2025 is key.
Types of Eiffel Tower Tickets & What They Offer
The Eiffel Tower has three accessible levels for visitors: the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and the Summit (top). Your ticket choice will depend on how high you want to go and how you want to get there.
2nd Floor Access by Elevator: This is a popular choice, offering fantastic panoramic views of Paris (116 meters high). It's a great option if you're on a budget or have limited time.
2025 Adult Price (25+ yo): Around €18.10
Includes access to the 1st floor as well.
Summit Access by Elevator: For the ultimate view of Paris (276 meters high), you'll want the Summit ticket. This is the most sought-after ticket and often sells out fastest.
2025 Adult Price (25+ yo): Around €28.30
Includes access to the 1st and 2nd floors by elevator.
2nd Floor Access by Stairs: A more active and often quicker way to reach the 2nd floor, offering unique perspectives of the tower's structure. Be prepared for 674 steps!
2025 Adult Price (25+ yo): Around €11.30
Includes access to the 1st floor. You cannot go to the Summit with a stairs-only ticket to the 2nd floor.
Summit Access by Stairs to 2nd Floor + Elevator to Summit: This combines the experience of climbing the stairs to the 2nd floor and then taking an elevator to the very top. This option may sometimes only be available for purchase in person, but pre-booked tours might offer it.
2025 Adult Price (25+ yo): Around €21.50
Reduced Prices (2025):
Youth (12-24 yo): Significant discounts apply. For instance, Summit by Elevator is ~€14.10, 2nd Floor by Elevator is ~€9.00.
Children (4-11 yo) & Disabled Visitors: Even lower prices. Summit by Elevator is ~€7.10, 2nd Floor by Elevator is ~€4.50.
Children under 4: Free access.
How and When to Buy Your Eiffel Tower Tickets for 2025
This is crucial for avoiding disappointment and long queues.
Official Website (Highly Recommended): The best place to buy tickets at official rates is the official Eiffel Tower ticketing website (ticket.toureiffel.paris).
When to Buy: Tickets with specific time slots are released up to 60 days in advance (for elevator tickets) and 14 days in advance (for stairs tickets to the second floor). They sell out extremely quickly, especially for summit access and peak times.
Pro Tip: Set an alarm for midnight Paris time, exactly 60 days before your desired visit date, and be ready to purchase! Ensure your device's timezone is set correctly to Paris time or ahead of it.
On-site Ticket Offices: You can buy tickets directly at the tower on the day of your visit. However, be prepared for very long queues (up to 3 hours or more during peak season). This is generally not recommended unless you have no other option and a lot of patience.
Third-Party Tour Operators/Resellers: If official tickets are sold out or you prefer a guided experience, many reputable tour companies (e.g., GetYourGuide, Viator, Paris-Tickets.com) offer "skip-the-line" or "priority access" Eiffel Tower tours.
Pros: Often include a guide who provides historical context, bypass the ticket purchase line (though security lines are still mandatory), and can be booked closer to your travel date.
Cons: These tickets are typically more expensive than direct official tickets. Prices often start from €60 - €100+ depending on inclusions (summit access, guide, additional experiences like Seine River cruise or champagne).
Be wary of unofficial sites promising "skip-all-lines" - security checks are mandatory for everyone.
Best Times to Visit the Eiffel Tower in 2025
Crowds are a constant at the Eiffel Tower, but you can minimize wait times and maximize your experience with strategic timing.
Seasonality:
Peak Season (June-August): Heaviest crowds, highest demand. Book well in advance. Opening hours are extended until 00:45 AM (last entrance 23:45).
Shoulder Season (April-May, September-October): Pleasant weather, but still busy. Good compromise for crowds and climate.
Low Season (January-March, November-December - excluding holidays): Fewer crowds, shorter lines, especially in January and February. The tower is still magical, particularly if there's a light dusting of snow. Standard opening hours (9:30 AM - 11:45 PM, last entrance 22:45).
Time of Day:
Early Morning (Right at opening, 9:00 AM / 9:30 AM): Fewer people, smoother ascent.
Late Afternoon (around 5-6 PM): Good light for photos, and you can stay to see the tower light up at dusk.
Evening (after 8:00 PM): Experience the magical illumination of the tower and sparkling lights every hour on the hour for 5 minutes (from dusk until 1 AM). It's very popular and can still be crowded.
Weekdays vs. Weekends: Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends.
Essential Tips for Your Eiffel Tower Visit
Arrive Early for Timed Tickets: Even with a pre-booked ticket, arrive 15-30 minutes before your scheduled time to allow for mandatory security checks. If you're more than 30 minutes late, your ticket may not be valid.
Security Checks: All visitors must pass through airport-style security. These lines are unavoidable.
Dress Appropriately: Paris weather can be unpredictable, and it's always windier and cooler at the top of the Tower. Dress in layers.
Wear Comfortable Shoes: You'll be doing a lot of standing and walking.
Food and Drink: There are restaurants and snack bars on the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as the champagne bar at the Summit.
Capture the Moment: Don't forget to take photos from Trocadéro for classic full-tower shots, especially at sunset.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower is a quintessential Parisian experience. By being informed about ticket types, booking strategies, and timing your visit wisely, you can ensure your trip to the Iron Lady is as enchanting as you've always imagined. Bon voyage!
