Table of Contents

INFO

  • To check the opening hours, click on the Ticket List (Official Website) link after the overview table below, then scroll down to the calendar.
  • ⚠️ Book only on the official website.
    Due to how the tower ticketing is managed, we recommend not booking on other websites that sell tickets.
  • Tickets become available 60 days in advance at midnight Paris time.
    Except for ticket #2 (2nd floor by stairs) which is available 14 days in advance.
  • Buying a ticket in advance allows you to skip the ticket purchase line at the tower, however you will still have to wait in the security entry line.
    If you read “skip the line” somewhere, it means skipping the ticket purchase line.
  • If e-tickets are sold out for the date/time that you search, it’s possible to purchase tickets at the official ticket office on site on the day of your visit.
    But you’ll have to wait in the ticket purchase line (in addition to the security line afterward).
  • There is no official audio guide.
  • FAQ (Official Website)
  • If you want views from the tower during:
    – Golden Hour Sunset (30 to 45 minutes before the actual sunset time)
    – Night
    check the sunset time for that day and choose accordingly.
