Rates depend on route (stairs/lift mix) and visitor category. “Young adult” is not a student fare—it is simply the 12–24 age band with ID. “Child” is 4–11. Under-4s are free but still receive a zero-euro ticket for headcount.
People with qualifying disability cards (French/EU rules apply) pay the child rate, with one companion at the same reduced level—confirm wording on the official accessibility page before you travel.

Major maintenance (paint cycles, lift upgrades, security) pushed adult summit lift tickets up sharply after the pandemic reopening. Visitors compare that to other observation decks: London Eye, Empire State Building, Burj Khalifa. The Eiffel Tower still sits mid-pack for a world-icon experience, but it is no longer a “cheap impulse” purchase for families.
Budget traveller, okay with steps: stairs to second floor—best value view.
Once-in-a-lifetime splurge: summit lift or stairs+lift combo.
Reduced mobility (wheelchair): lift to 1st/2nd only—do not buy summit expecting step-free access.
Photographer chasing blue hour: time-stamped ticket around 90 minutes before sunset; accept that everyone else had the same idea.
“I tell corporate groups to decide summit vs second floor before the assistant books forty identical slots. Changing minds after purchase wastes more money than the €8.70 difference between lift and hybrid summit tickets.”
Is online more expensive? No—official online and desk prices align; online simply secures a slot.
Hidden booking fees? Not on the official site; third-party platforms may add service fees—read checkout totals.
Partner offers may bundle guides or flexible cancellation—compare with the official site.
