What to expect

Welcome to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, the highest point of the Champs-Élysées. At almost 50 metres high, you will enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the capital. Standing at the junction of twelve Parisian avenues and commissioned by Napoleon to celebrate French victories, the Arc de Triomphe has been a must for every visitor since its inauguration in 1836. Located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, it overlooks the most beautiful avenue in the world. The Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Concorde, the La Défense business district: few of the iconic monuments of Paris escape this 360° viewpoint, at the centre of Place Charles-de-Gaulle-Étoile.

Common questions

How much does it cost to go to the top of the Arc de Triomphe?

The price varies depending on the date of your visit. The lowest price applies in low season, from October to March, and on Wednesdays from April to September. For the rest of the high season, from April to September, the ticket is more expensive. The exact price is shown when you choose your date. Admission is free for under-18s and for 18-25-year-olds who are EU nationals or residents in France.

What are the opening hours?

From April to September, the monument is open from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm, and from October to March from 10:00 am to 10:30 pm. On Tuesdays, it opens at 11:00 am. Last admission is 45 minutes before closing.

How do I get to the Arc de Triomphe?

Use the Passage du Souvenir underpass, from the top of the Champs-Élysées or avenue de la Grande-Armée. Never cross the roundabout on foot, as the traffic is very heavy. The nearest stations are Charles de Gaulle – Étoile (metro 1, 2 and 6, RER A).

Is there a lift?

The lift has been under renovation since summer 2026 and is due back in service in 2027. In the meantime, the only way up is via the 284 steps, so the terrace is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.

How long does the visit take?

Allow between 30 minutes for a quick visit and 1h30 to enjoy the museum and the terrace.

Do I have to pay to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?

No, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is freely accessible beneath the arch. The flame is rekindled every evening at 6:30 pm. Only the museum and the terrace require a ticket.

When is the Arc de Triomphe closed?

The monument is closed on 1 May, 8 May and 14 July, and on the morning of 11 November. It closes at 4:00 pm on 24 and 31 December. Partial closures may occur during official ceremonies.

Can I bring a pushchair or a suitcase?

Pushchairs are not allowed inside the monument, but you can leave them with the staff at the entrance. Luggage is limited to 40 × 40 × 20 cm and there is no left-luggage facility on site.

What is the best time to go up?

Late in the day, to watch the sunset over La Défense, then see Paris light up and the Eiffel Tower sparkle as night falls.

What is there to do around the Arc de Triomphe?

Walk down the Champs-Élysées, then head to Pont de l'Alma for a Bateaux-Mouches cruise. In the evening, the area also has several Parisian cabarets and you are just a few stops from the dinner cruises on the Seine.

Tourists should be treated with respect and appreciation

While I was watching the ceremony for he lighting of the unarmed soldiers tomb I was very rudely pushed back by a gendarme when I tried to walk towards the front to take a picture. He was nasty and told me no tourists were allowed to approach the tomb. There was no signage and I didn’t cross any boundaries so it was very unnecessary. BE NICE. it soured what my experience of what should have been a peaceful and solemn moment.

They do warn on the website but be aware that the climb to the top via a circular staircase can be quite tiring - there are a lot of steps! There are a couple of 'doorways' (not actual doors) on the way up where you can pause and take a breath, letting others pass by. Once up there the views are great, thoroughly recommended.

Breathtaking views

The most unreal experience and breathtaking views of the city.
Not for the faint hearted however as it's spiral staircases you have to travel up and down I'm, no lift option as far as I could see.
Easy to get to from metro. Lovely and helpful staff.

Unbelievable. Just a wonderful place to be. To check out the artifacts of history and preeminent art of history. The building itself is just a wonder to walk around.

I didn't realise you could visit the top so was pleased to go and get a great view over the city. Staff were helpful and the place was clean and well looked after
