Which Eiffel Tower ticket is right for you?
Start by choosing the highest floor you want to reach. Second-floor tickets provide the classic panoramic viewpoint, while summit access is the right choice if visiting the top is essential to your plans. Access to the second floor does not automatically extend to the summit.
Choose your way up
Some Eiffel Tower tickets use the elevator, while a separate guided option reaches the first and second floors by stairs. Stair access is a distinct visit style, and summit access may be an optional selection on that type of booking. Check the route and level shown for the version you select.
Guided tour or audioguide?
Choose a guided tower visit if you prefer to explore with commentary from a guide. An audioguide option is better suited to visitors who want more independence while still having commentary during their visit. These formats can also differ in the floors they cover, so compare both the guidance and access level.
Dining and combined Paris experiences
A meal at Madame Brasserie is centred on dining in the tower and includes elevator access to the first floor. It is different from a viewing ticket for the second floor or summit. Other bookings pair the Eiffel Tower with a cruise, city sightseeing, or a Versailles visit. If a river outing is a priority, compare Seine River cruises in Paris as a separate activity too.

Key details to check before booking
Read the access level, not just “Eiffel Tower entry”
The first floor, second floor, and summit are different levels of the Eiffel Tower experience. A restaurant booking gives access to the first floor for the meal, while a classic tower ticket may focus on the second floor. If the summit is your priority, select a version that specifically includes it.
This is especially important for tickets with optional summit access. The option chosen during booking determines whether your visit continues beyond the second floor, so make sure the selected version matches the view you want.
Understand what the visit format adds
A guided visit and an audioguide are different ways to experience the tower. A guided format is built around a tour with commentary, whereas an audioguide lets you follow commentary at your own pace. Neither format should be used as a shortcut for identifying the floor included: always confirm the access level separately.
For the stair-climbing visit, the stairs are part of the experience rather than simply an alternative arrival method. It also includes a live guide and access to the first and second floors. Choose it if that route appeals to you, rather than assuming it offers the same itinerary as an elevator ticket.
Choose combinations only when the added activity fits your plans
Some Eiffel Tower bookings extend the day with a Seine cruise, a city bus tour, or a visit to Versailles. These are useful when you want one reservation to cover more than the tower, but the Eiffel Tower element can differ between combinations. Before booking, confirm the tower level, ascent method, and whether commentary is part of the chosen experience.
A Versailles combination is best considered when the palace is already a priority in your Paris itinerary. For a visit focused mainly on Versailles, explore Versailles day trips from Paris before deciding whether a combined day is the right fit.
Make your final choice
- Choose second-floor access for a classic Eiffel Tower viewpoint.
- Choose summit access when reaching the top matters most.
- Choose a guided or audio-guided format according to how you prefer to follow commentary.
- Choose Madame Brasserie for a meal in the tower rather than a higher-level viewing visit.
- Choose a combination only if its cruise, sightseeing, or Versailles element genuinely belongs in your itinerary.
Eiffel Tower ticket prices: what should you compare?
Guided second-floor tour, Summit audioguide access and Madame Brasserie meal do not include the same access, guidance or extras. Compare the current price shown for your date only after checking what each option covers.
A lower-priced ticket is not automatically better value if it excludes an area, guided visit or added experience that matters to you.
If you are planning more of your Paris itinerary, you can also compare Louvre Museum tickets before finalising your schedule.
Eiffel Tower tickets on the day: last-minute availability
If you want to visit on the day, check the time slots still available before you book. For tomorrow, select tomorrow’s date and compare the remaining times. Same-day and last-minute availability can change quickly, so rely on the live options shown for your chosen date.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Which Eiffel Tower ticket should I choose for summit access?

A guided visit includes commentary as part of a tour, while an audioguide lets you follow commentary more independently through an app.
