Climb the stairs to the second floor
The public stairs stop at the second floor. The summit is a separate elevator, so this visit is a walk through the ironwork, not a hike to the top.
The public stairs stop at the second floor. The summit is a separate elevator, so this visit is a walk through the ironwork, not a hike to the top.
You enter a stair pillar and walk past the first floor to the second. The steps are continuous. This is not a lift that pauses for the view.
A self-guided stair ticket is the usual product. A guided climb adds someone to talk through the structure on the way up. Either way the walk ends at the second floor.
There is no public staircase to the top. If the summit is the goal, book an elevator ticket that includes it instead of treating the stairs as the way there.
Stair access closes for wind and maintenance. Check toureiffel.paris the morning you go, and wear shoes you can climb in.
The climb is a long stair, not a trail. Visitors who are comfortable with several hundred steps get the closest look at the ironwork.
Strollers, wheelchairs, and anyone who cannot do a long stair should use the elevator. The stairs are the alternative product, not the step-free one.
Security still comes first. After that the walk is the visit: pause at the first floor if you need to, then finish on the second-floor deck.
How far do the stairs go?
To the second floor. There is no public staircase to the summit. The top is a separate elevator.
Is the climb hard?
It is a long, steady stair, not a technical climb. If several hundred steps is uncomfortable, take an elevator ticket instead.
Can I add the summit after climbing?
Only if a summit elevator is available from the upper level that day. A stair ticket alone does not include the top. Confirm on toureiffel.paris.
Can children use the stairs?
Older children who can manage a long stair often do. Very young children, strollers, and anyone who needs a lift should use an elevator ticket.
A stair ticket is a walk up the tower's iron stairs to the second floor, with a possible stop at the first.
It is a different product from the elevator ticket. It does not include the summit.
This is an independent briefing of that route, not the tower operator.
