Visit the Eiffel Tower, faster
The Eiffel Tower has launched an online advance ticket purchase system to reduce waiting and improve flow.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower can be a waiting experience like no other. Maybe you thought visiting Empire State Building was long, well that is nothing compared to the Eiffel Tower. And after having experienced the security waiting lines in the airport the last thing you want to spend your trip doing is waiting more.
After a year of testing the Eiffel Tower has now launched online pre-purchased tickets to reduce the waiting lines and help you get up there faster!
- How it works? Go on their site here: http://www.tour-eiffel.com/preparing-your-visit/buying-your-tickets
- Select the date where you will be visiting the tower.
- Chose the number of people.
- You will be given hours where there is space left or another day in case the day you have selected is full. Chose the one that fits your needs.
- Complete your purchase and pay for your tickets.
- Print them out and voila, you’re done.
Once you arrive there there is a special line for the people that have booked in advance and you can just walk up and get in!
So that’s at least one afternoon that you’ll have saved of your precious time in Paris.
The website you refer to is in FRENCH only – how does one who only speaks/reads English purchase tickets?
Yes, that’s right. And the site is quite difficult to navigate.
@d6ca42490db99270925d97f9797af882:disqus Actually the website is 9 different lanuages including English.
all very good if you only want to go in March, l can’t access any other months!
unable to get online tickets for april 2012 ,why
I thought it was just me…..any luck in getting April tickets yet?
I had the same problem trying to get tickets for April a month and a half ago. I hope there’ll be no issues the day of getting tickets because going up the tower was my 8 year old’s bay wish and I’m traveling pretty far to make it happen
Why can’t we book tickets for April?
Why can’t I purchase tickets online until June 2012!!! I’m going to be in Paris for a week between 11th – 18th April and the site won’t allow me to purchase tickets with no explanation.. I’ve also emailed them over a week ago with no response! Is anyone else experiencing this?
Maybe it is due to the fact that only one elevator is operative and the ‘pass the standing in line’ tickets cannot be offered during this period.
do u know where else we can buy the tickets online?
It’s July 2012, i’m here visiting Paris, their website is down.
I am also here in France. It is july and the website is up and working.
Here in France you can expect things to work, or not with little or no explanation… Been coming here for the last 6 years and some thing’s never change. Don’t try to fight it or get stressed out..
Welcome to France!!!!
If you have a ticket from http://www.eiffel-tower.com can you really skip the queues? The queues are for buying tickets or to get on the lift? It says that there is a special line? How can you identity this line?
hi ,, why i cant buy tickets from hat website for january 2013
Hi, I purchased 2 online tickets and the 2 e-tickets generated both have my name on it. Can someone please advise if this is a cause for concern? It said on the e-ticket that “the ticket is only valid for a single entrance for the person indicated on the ticket”. I am now worried that my friend will not be allowed entrance since she is not the person indicated on the ticket.
