Full Description
The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman triumphal arch style. Fifty meters tall, the breathtaking 360-degree view over Paris from the platform on top the arch is well worth the hike. See the dozen Parisian avenues radiating out from the arch into the City of Light. Paris is one of the most fascinating places in the world and you will find yourself right at its center.
Inspired by the great arches of ancient Rome, Napoleon commissioned the Arc de Triomphe shortly after his victory at Austerlitz. Unfortunately, he never lived to see its completion. At the base of the arch, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier pays tribute to the 1.3 million French soldiers who died in World War I. Behold the eternal flame that is rekindled at 6.30 PM each evening. In addition, there is a must-see exhibition that explains the symbolic importance of this monument. The vi... Read more

From your privileged position, survey all of Paris. Unlike the obligatory Eiffel Tower trip, getting into the Arc de Triomphe is an effort not all tourists undertake.

Our trip to the Arc de Triomphe was truly amazing. We arrived at the rooftop just in time to see the sun setting and moon rising over Paris. Exceptional views of The Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower. The 284 stairs to the top are fine for anyone in reasonable health. Very good value, reasonable queue time, and a truly unique experience. Highly recommended.

it offered a fabulous view of the city. loads of photo ops. I have an injury and they immediately allowed us lift access. the downside was the crowd. All in all it was truly an unforgettable experience

Ho usufruito di 6 salta la fila per i vari:Louvre, Tour Eiffel, giro Senna etc.. Dopo un rapido controllo (come in ogni attrazione) vi attenderanno più o meno 100 scalini per arrivare in cima, merita veramente! Consiglio andateci nell’ora del tramonto è spettacolare
