Eiffel Tower Summit Access Pricing (May 2024 Update)

Eiffel Tower ticket prices vary by access level, age, and purchase channel. As of May 2024, official rates (SETE) are:

Summit Access (Top Level — 276m)

Second Floor Only (115m)

Key Variables

• Time slots: Mandatory reservation (tour.eiffel.fr) — specific 30-min window
• Peak surcharge: None currently (dynamic pricing tested 2023, not implemented)
• Guided tours: +€10-30 depending on provider
• Third-party resellers: Often 20-50% markup — buy direct

May-Specific Considerations

May = shoulder season (pre-summer peak). Moderate crowds, pleasant weather. Book 2-4 weeks ahead for preferred sunset slots. Weekday mornings = shortest waits.

Budget Alternative

Champ de Mars (park below) = free. Picnic with Tower view — classic Paris experience at €0.

Prices change annually (typically January). Always verify at tour.eiffel.fr before planning.
