The primary rule for any visitor is to buy Eiffel Tower tickets online well in advance. The official ticket office releases time-stamped slots that allow you to bypass the massive lines at the monument’s base. While prices online are the same as those at the physical ticket office, the "currency" you save is time—often hours of it during peak tourist seasons.
Reaching the very top requires an elevator ride with a transfer at the 2nd floor. It offers an unparalleled sense of height and a look at Gustave Eiffel’s restored office.
This is the choice for the active traveler. It is the most budget-friendly option and provides a unique perspective of the tower's intricate ironwork.
