The Eiffel Tower also sells stairs + lift ticket which will allow you to take the stairs until the second floor, then the lift to the top of the Tower. Such tickets are mainly sold at the ticket offices at the Tower at the individual rate and for use immediately. They can be sold online but in very small quantities.

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.

We recommend that you take your time to enjoy your visit! It is advisable to plan a visiting time of at least 1 1/2 hours for visit to the 1st and 2nd floors and 2 1/2 hours for a visit to the top.
