Getting there
Use Trocadéro (Métro Lines 6 and 9) for the classic view from across the river. To go up, cross the Seine toward the tower or approach from Bir-Hakeim (Line 6) or Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel (RER C). Follow the signs to the security perimeter before your ticketed entrance.
Admission

These are the operator’s adult prices for ages 25 and up. Verify the rate and availability at booking. Choose your destination and whether you want stairs before you choose the time. Top access can change with operating conditions.
What to see
For a view that includes the whole tower, start on the ground at Champ de Mars or the Trocadéro. Visit the tower itself if you want the view over Paris.
Plan your visit
Allow time for security and lift queues and keep the timed ticket at hand. If stairs or limited mobility are a concern, check the operator’s access conditions for the second floor. The summit and stair routes are unsuitable for visitors with reduced mobility. For an exterior-only visit, stay on the opposite bank or walk around Champ de Mars.
