If you buy a ticket to the top of the Eiffel Tower, you have access to all the floors (1st floor, 2nd floor, and the top). The visit to the Eiffel Tower begins on the upper floors (the second floor or the top) before descending to the first floor.
Visiting time to the Eiffel Tower is not limited. However we recommend that you plan sufficient visiting time at the end of the evening (i.e. around 1 1/2 hours for a visit to the 2nd floor and 1st floor and 2 1/2 hours for a full visit up to the top).
The Tower lights and beacon are lit up every evening from dusk until 11.45pm.
