How long does it take to walk to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower?

If you choose the stairs to the second floor : you can count about 10 to 15 minutes per level. For visitors who take the lift, it is only a matter of a couple of minutes! If you have a ticket to go to the top, please bear in mind that you take a different elevator from the second floor to the summit.

The peak experience is halfway down. By all means, go to the top if you have the time (skip it if your schedule's tight). But I prefer to linger on the second floor: For me, the best views are from this middle level — high enough to see all of Paris, but low enough to pick out distinguishing landmarks.
