Eiffel Tower Tickets

Book your entry for the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower draws you in the moment you spot its iron frame against the Paris sky. Getting your tickets sorted ahead of time turns that first look into a calm, memorable visit instead of a long wait in line. This page lays out the official prices, current opening hours, and every ticket option so you can choose what fits your day and budget. All details come straight from the Eiffel Tower’s own site, updated for 2026.

Opening Hours

The Eiffel Tower stays open every day of the year with no exceptions for holidays. Current hours run from 9:30 a.m. to midnight. Last ascent to any level is at 10:45 p.m. so you have time to enjoy the views before closing.

Times can shift slightly for weather, maintenance, or safety. Always double-check the official calendar a few days before your visit.

Choose Your Ticket

Four clear ticket types let you decide how you reach each level. Prices stay the same whether you buy online or on site, but online tickets are timed and skip the ticket-office line. Here are the official options with exact 2026 rates.

Tips Before You Visit the Eiffel Tower

• Buy your tickets on the official site as soon as you know your dates. They go on sale 60 days ahead for lift tickets and 14 days for stairs options. Early morning slots before 11 a.m. or evening slots after 8 p.m. usually have shorter lines and softer light for photos.
• Plan two to three hours total so you can move at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes, especially if you choose stairs. Bring a small daypack or cross-body bag; large luggage, coolers, and backpacks bigger than 40×40×20 cm are not allowed past security. Photography is welcome everywhere, including the sparkle show at night, but tripods can get in the way on crowded platforms.
• Check the weather forecast. The top level feels windy even on mild days, so a light jacket helps. Download the free audio guide from the official app before you arrive. If you want a meal with a view, add Madame Brasserie reservations when you book your ticket. These small steps keep the focus on the experience instead of logistics.
