Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the meeting point.

Will I still have to queue even with reserved access?

Reserved access means your wait will be shorter than for visitors buying standard tickets on the day. That said, security checks and high-season crowds can still cause some delay — during peak times, the wait to reach the second floor can be up to 25 minutes.

What is the difference between the second-floor and summit ticket options?

Both options include a guided tour and lift access to the second floor. The summit ticket adds entry to the tower's highest level, reached by a separate elevator from the second floor. Note that summit access involves an additional queue on the second floor.

Is the tour accessible for wheelchair users?

Visitors with reduced mobility or in wheelchairs can access the Eiffel Tower up to the second floor via the lifts. Summit access is not available for safety reasons.

Can I bring a large bag or suitcase?

No. Luggage and oversized bags are not permitted inside the Eiffel Tower. Plan to travel light or leave bags at your accommodation.

Is the summit suitable for everyone?

The summit may not be suitable for visitors with vertigo, a fear of heights, cognitive disorders, or certain mental disabilities. If heights make you uncomfortable, the second-floor option is the better choice.
