Sobre Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower stands 330 metres tall including its broadcast antennas and was the world's tallest structure for 41 years after completion in 1889. Gustave Eiffel's company erected the puddled-iron lattice in just over two years using 18,038 individually fabricated iron pieces joined by roughly 2.5 million rivets, most of them fitted on-site by teams working without modern safety harnesses. The tower carries a fresh coat of a custom bronze-brown paint - 60 tonnes of it - roughly every seven years, applied entirely by hand because no machine can navigate the lattice geometry. Three public levels serve visitors: the first floor at 57 metres has a glass walkway section and exhibition space, the second floor at 115 metres offers the clearest wide-angle views of the city grid, and the summit at 276 metres reaches above most of Paris's rooftops to give sightlines toward La Défense and Montmartre on a clear day.
Mejor momento del día: 09:30 opening or the last hour. Before closing. The tower is busiest 11:00-16:00 when day-trip coach groups converge on the Champ de Mars; early morning and after sunset both cut queue time and put the city in better light for photographs from the second floor.

Historia de Eiffel Tower
Gustave Eiffel's engineering firm won the commission for a centrepiece entrance arch to the 1889 Exposition Universelle, marking the centenary of the French Revolution, beating over 100 rival submissions in a design competition. Construction ran from January 1887 to March 1889, remarkably fast for a structure of its scale, and relied on prefabricated iron components manufactured off-site and assembled with pneumatic riveting rigs mounted on the structure itself.
A group of prominent artists and writers, including Charles Gounod and Guy de Maupassant, signed a public letter of protest against the tower before construction finished, calling it a disfigurement of the Paris skyline; Maupassant reportedly ate lunch in the tower's restaurant regularly afterward because it was the one place in the city he could avoid seeing it. The structure's original 20-year permit would have seen it demolished in 1909, but its value as a radiotelegraphy antenna - first used for military transmissions in 1903 - persuaded the city to grant a reprieve. It has broadcast radio and television signals continuously since.
Normas y etiqueta en Eiffel Tower
Airport-style security screening with bag checks operates at all four base entrances; large suitcases and tripods over roughly one metre are commonly refused, and there is no left-luggage facility at the site. Drone flights over the tower and surrounding Champ de Mars are prohibited under Paris airspace restrictions enforced with on-site fines.
Pre-booked timed-entry slots are strongly recommended for lift access; walk-up lift queues in summer regularly exceed 90 minutes even with security screening completed. Stair access via the South Pillar has its own separate, usually shorter queue and is the only route that lets visitors set their own pace between the ground and second floor.
Consejos para visitar Eiffel Tower
- 1
Pickpocket activity concentrates around the base-level ticket queues and the RER B/C stations serving the site; keep bags zipped and in view rather than on the ground while queuing. The unofficial vendors selling miniature Eiffel Tower figurines around the perimeter operate a well-documented running-away routine if police approach - engaging with them is not required and prices are not fixed.

The Trocadéro esplanade across the river gives the classic full-height photograph without paying for entry, and is calmest around sunrise. For dinner reservations at Le Jules Verne, the tower's Michelin-starred restaurant on the second floor, book at least six weeks ahead through a separate entrance that bypasses general visitor security.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Eiffel Tower
Is it cheaper to take the stairs than the lift at the Eiffel Tower?
Yes. Stairs to the second floor cost €14.80 for adults as of 2026, compared with €23.50 for the second-floor lift and €36.70 for the summit lift. Stair access only reaches the second floor; the summit requires a lift regardless of ticket type.
Do I need to book Eiffel Tower tickets in advance?
Yes, booking online up to 60 days ahead is strongly recommended. Summit time slots sell out first, especially around sunset, and walk-up queues for lift access frequently exceed 90 minutes during midday hours in peak season.
Can you see the whole city from the Eiffel Tower summit?
Yes, on a clear day. The 276-metre summit clears most of the city's rooftops and gives sightlines toward the La Défense business district and Montmartre; visibility drops significantly in haze or rain.
Are drones allowed at the Eiffel Tower?
No. Drone flights over the tower and the surrounding Champ de Mars park are prohibited under Paris airspace restrictions, and operators face on-site fines if caught.
