Pro tips to help you make a pick
All tickets include entry to the 56th-floor indoor observatory and the 59th-floor rooftop terrace, offering 360° views of Paris. Note that the rooftop can only be reached by stairs (approximately 70 steps from the 56th floor), as there is no elevator service.
Tickets are timed, so you must select a specific entry slot when booking. Once inside, you can explore at your own pace.
Online tickets are at least €2 cheaper than on-site prices. They allow you to skip the ticket office and head straight to the lifts, saving you time and hassle.
Combine your visit to the tower with a tour of the vibrant Montparnasse neighborhood. Explore nearby attractions like Les Jardins du Luxembourg or the Montparnasse Cemetery to delve deeper into the area’s cultural and historical significance.
