The view was fantastic! Unfortunately, despite having a ticket, you still had to wait a long time to get in and the signage on how to get to the Arc de Triumphe (underground, not over the road) and how to get to the metro afterwards is very poor. This should be worked on urgently. There was a lot of chaos.

The view from the top is superb. 360 degree view of Paris. Pre purchased tickets certainly saved a lot of time. If you can't handle the many steps, take the lift. Just ask at the security bag check and you will be escorted to lift. Then only 40 steps to the top.

The tickets were easy to book but the timings were confusing and you cannot access the schedule using the file reader so you have to just show up and hope for the best. They pack the boat tour so if you want to sit on the roof not inside then you need to get there early! Getting on and off takes a long time. The audio tour is downstairs only on little phones otherwise there is a tannoy which a few faces are read out in French, English and Spanish I believe

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

One of the highlights was certainly the guide itself. Chinelo. A fashion design student in Paris. She bridged the long wait in front of the elevator with charm and a lot of knowledge. She was entertaining, led the group well and kept us in a good mood. Especially in the annoying time before the elevators. I wish her every success and that Chinelo can guide many more people to the Eiffel Tower.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

We were able to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which had been closed a little earlier, thanks to the tour guide's good knowledge of the route and a bit of tact. A wow view over Paris at night, from a height of "300 m". We were also given a lot of knowledge in passing. Thanks to "Professor JD" for that!!!

We were well received and accompanied on our visit. I was able to take advantage of the elevator ride with some very friendly people. And the view of Paris from the roof of this monument is fantastic.

Quick ticket purchase with app, clarity in meeting point description with host. Great experience with our "faster guide" Usca, who quickly guided us to the ticket office and advised us to go right to the top to avoid possible closure due to bad weather! Beautiful experience that fills your eyes! Recommended but!

The view from the top is superb. 360 degree view of Paris. Pre purchased tickets certainly saved a lot of time. If you can't handle the many steps, take the lift. Just ask at the security bag check and you will be escorted to lift. Then only 40 steps to the top.

It was so fun to get to the top, the view is awesome and includes a great view of the Eiffle tower. Booking tickets ahead of time was easy and a must so you aren't waiting in line more at the arc.

Why visit the Arc de Triomphe?
- Architectural marvel: Measuring 164 ft in height and 148 ft in width, it follows a neo-classical design, partially inspired by the Roman Forum’s Arch of Titus. The most prominent highlights are the engraved names of fallen warriors and the Tomb of the Fallen Soldier.
- Spectacular view: Located right in the heart of Paris, visitors are treated to a splendid panoramic view of the city from the rooftop. Since the structure is seated in the middle of a plaza from where 12 avenues lead out, it lends the impression of a large star.
- Historical significance: Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought and lost their lives in the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The names of several French generals are inscribed on the monument. Beneath the Arch lies the Tomb of the Fallen Soldier from World War I.

Explore the Arc de Triomphe
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Inscriptions
Museum
Pillars
Since 11 November 1920, the Arc de Triomphe has housed the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. After deciding against honoring an anonymous soldier chosen at random in the Pantheon, the Chamber of Deputies voted unanimously for the burial of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe. 2 years after the burial, the idea of a Flame of Remembrance was met with enthusiastic approval which has never been extinguished since 1923.
The names of 158 battles fought by the French First Republic and the First French Empire are engraved on the attic and the inner facades under the grand arches. The names of 660 military leaders who served in the French Revolution Wars and the Napoleonic Wars are inscribed on the inner faces of the small arches. These inscriptions serve as a memorial to the many who lost their lives serving the country.
The Arc de Triomphe houses a small museum dedicated to the history and significance of the monument, located just below the observation deck. The museum displays historical exhibits, including artifacts, photographs, drawings, models of the arch, and information about the wards and the soldiers who lost their lives during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Created between 1833 and 1836, each of the pillars is adorned by different sculpted groups. The Departure of the Volunteers by François Rude illustrates the conscription of 1792 when 200,000 men organized defense against foreign armies aligned against the revolutionaries; Napoleon's Triumph by Jean-Pierre Cortot signifies the expansion of the Napoleonic Empire in 1810; The Resistance by Antoine Etex symbolizes the nation's resistance to invasion in 1814; and The Peace by Antoine Etex constitutes the return of peace to France after the Treaty of Paris of 1815.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
