Stair tickets to the second floor

A stair ticket is the walk up, not a cheaper elevator ticket. It ends at the second floor.

Which stair ticket

Buy the official stair ticket when you only want the walk to the second floor at the operator's price. Buy a guided stair climb when you want a person with you on the steps. A restaurant booking is a meal, not a stair ticket. If you need the summit or a lift, that is an elevator ticket, not this one.

Curated

Official stair ticket

Timed entry by stairs to the second floor, sold by the operator. It is the plain product: no guide, and no summit.

Confirm the pillar and the date on toureiffel.paris. Busy slots go first.

Partners

Guided stair climb

A partner-led walk up the same stairs. You are paying for the guide, not for a higher floor.

Read the listing for the meeting point and whether the second floor is included.

Tips

Not an elevator ticket

If the booking says summit, lift, or second floor by elevator, it is a different product. A stair ticket will not get you onto the summit cabin.

The slot is for security, then the stairs. Last entry is earlier than closing.

What a stair ticket covers

check

Second floor, on foot

The ticket is for the stairs through the first floor to the second. That is the whole ascent.

check

The iron stairs, not the top deck

You are close to the structure on the way up. The summit deck is not included.

check

A separate product from the lift

Elevator tickets and stair tickets are sold as different timed entries. Do not buy one and expect the other.

Visiting tips

Book the stair slot

Stair tickets are timed and can sell out separately from elevator tickets. Buy the stair product, not a generic tower ticket.

Shoes you can climb in

The visit is the steps, not a stroll on one deck. Closed shoes matter more than arriving at a quiet hour.

Do not add the summit by accident

If the top matters, stop and buy an elevator ticket that includes it. A stair confirmation will not.

Stair fares and whether the stairs are open change. Confirm the stair product on toureiffel.paris before you go.

Top things to see

01

The stair itself

The ticket's main feature is the climb, not a deck you ride to.

02

First-floor pause

You can stop on the way up. An elevator ticket skips that walk.

03

Second floor, then stop

Where a stair ticket ends. The summit cabin is not included.

04

The pillar on the voucher

Stair tickets name a stair pillar. The elevator queue is the wrong line.

05

Guided meeting point

A guided climb starts where the voucher says, which may be outside the pillar.

06

What you are not buying

A meal or a river cruise is an add-on. It is not the stair entry.

Using a stair ticket

  • Follow the stair pillar named on the ticket, not the elevator queue.
