Skip the line tickets: beware of scam offers

There is no such thing as a “skip the line” ticket for the Eiffel Tower. Beware of advertisements by unofficial websites who promote so-called "skip-the-line" tickets to visit the Eiffel Tower: these tickets sold by other websites do not offer any further benefits. To make sure you queue as little as possible and don’t pay more than the official price, we recommend that you plan ahead and buy your ticket in advance at the Official Eiffel Tower’s online ticket office.

The only way to avoid queuing at the ticket office is to get an Eiffel Tower e-ticket from our online ticket office available at the following url: ticket.toureiffel.paris. You can buy your e-tickets a long time in advance (up to 60 days before your visit for elevator tickets and 14 days before for stairs tickets), and enjoy a pre-booked time for access to the elevator (to the second floor or to the top) or the stairs (to the second floor or to the top by the stairs then by the elevator). E-tickets save you time with fast-track security checks and no need to queue at the Eiffel Tower ticket offices.

For more information on the quietest times to visit the Eiffel Tower and avoid queues during the day, weekdays, or year-round, see this page on the monument's attendance levels.
