Go up to the viewing platform on the 2nd floor. If you booked the summit option, you can go to the top, otherwise on your way down you can eithertake the lift or the stairs to reach the first level and enjoy the floor of glass. As the majestic geometry of Paris unfolds at your feet, you will hear interesting tales and anecdotes that recount the tower's history, from a hated monstrosity to one of the most-visited and iconic monuments in the world.

You will also be given a ticket to embark on a 1-hour cruise along the Seine River. It is valid for any departure within six months of your visit to the Eiffel Tower. During your cruise on the Seine, you have the chance to admire the famous monuments of Paris as you follow the flow of the river through the city. Relax and enjoy a pleasant hour on board.
