We booked the Eiffel Tower Dedicated Reserved Access to the Summit (or 2nd Floor) for my mom’s birthday, and it was truly special. It was her first time seeing the Eiffel Tower, and the whole experience felt seamless and memorable. The dedicated access made everything smooth, and the views from the tower were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, engaging, and provided clear explanations that made the history and details of the Eiffel Tower come alive. This added so much more value to the visit. A wonderful experience overall, and a perfect way to celebrate such a special day!

At the summit, discover Gustave Eiffel’s private office, a champagne bar, and informative displays about the tower’s history and construction.

Whether you visit during the golden glow of sunset or under a starry sky, the Eiffel Tower summit delivers unforgettable memories and the perfect photos.
