Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018If you鈥檙e under 26 from the EU you don鈥檛 have to pay any entrance fee! The view from the top is amazing but it鈥檚 a real physical torture to go up those stairs!!
MuratSeptember 4, 2017A very must see attraction. It is one of the most important, the oldest, the most historic tourist attraction. Possible to climb up. Great at night, possible to observe Tour Eiffel in light.

Amaal I.kApril 14, 2016Very nice and beautiful place to overlook Paris , Eiffel tour and champ elysees from above but WTF with the stairs 馃槹
Enjoy the amazing view just before sunset and have a nice walk in the champs-脡lys茅es where there are many shops and restaurants.
Chris <M>July 18, 2019Awesome views, a lot of steps up, stay until 22:00 with a nice spot across Eiffel Tower to start taking pics! Helps to have a museum pass to avoid long queues. Can鈥檛 avoid the security queue control.
Gigantesque, well carved and breath taking, this monument will blow you away! It has the flame of the unknown soldier underneath and you can go all the way up to see why it鈥檚 鈥減lace de l鈥櫭﹖oile鈥�/div>
HaifaMarch 20, 2017Climbed 275 stairs to see this beautiful panoramic view!馃挄馃寖 I'm sure it will be more beautiful during sunset..
LinaOctober 25, 2017One of the most iconic landmarks in Paris! Beautiful details.鉁�/div>
Kapt鈥檔 KokoMay 16, 2018The best time visit is at sunrise or at sunset. Don鈥檛 go during the height of the day, Paris shines at night and the best view can be had from here.
Sebasti谩n MasadMay 28, 2015The best view of all Paris at the top of the Arc de Triomphe. Go to top and see the beauty of the city. Also learn about the history of the Arc, is really amazing. My favorite place of Paris.
Benjamin BenApril 30, 2013The Arc de Triomphe de l'脡toile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-脡lys茅es
Luis CastroJune 19, 2015Incredible views. A must see. If you are from the European community. The entrance is free. Even if you are just studying and have an ID from that country.
Bianca BuenoAugust 11, 2014Night and day, and even on rainy days, it still worth the visit. If you are going to get in try to do it on a sunny day and be brave walking all the steps to the top to get a marvellous view.Eddie CJanuary 7, 2016Definitely worth the 12 Euros (Jan 2016) to go up. Best view of Paris, even better than that on the Eiffel Tower. Focal point of Paris.
Ana FranciscoMay 31, 2017Climb its spiral stairs up to the top and see an amazing view of Paris. Entrance for Adult is 12鈧�/div>
Go to the top but book your tickets online and cut the line to go to the top !
New York HabitatSeptember 26, 2011The Arc de Triomphe costs just 9 euros to ascend and the view down Champs 脡lys茅es is well worth the money. Be prepared as you have to walk to the top but can ride an elevator down.
Bogdan GunaMarch 5, 2015Worth climbing the stairs for the breathtaking and romantic view over Paris.
FoodieJune 15, 2014Nice view on Champs 脡lys茅es, the other half is closed. Quite expensive (鈧�50), so better visit using the Paris Pass. Open till late, so visit museums first, then climb the Arc and take a cruise after
KyzeDecember 17, 2014Certainly one of the most iconic monuments of Paris. Unlike the Eiffel Tower, it's not so spectacular at night, it's better to visit it when the sun is still up.
Great monument to visit with an amazing view of Paris except never go to the top by the stairs, it's so damn exhausting
Chris KennedyMay 31, 2022If you require step free access to the top, you鈥檙e able to get a lift from the ground to the first section and a smaller lift to the roof. Roof has ramps to allow wheelchair access
Daniel McDonoughJuly 11, 2015100% worth the trip to the top. Amazing views of the entire city unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower.
Chris DavisOctober 15, 2017Make sure you take the underground passageway near near Avenue des Champs-脡lys茅es! Do not attempt to run across the roundabout.
Simply fantastic 360 degree views of Paris. But if you're on foot, there are a lot of stairs to climb - lift available, but it doesn't go all the way to the top
饾櫥饾殥饾殨饾殥谩饾殫饾殜 鉁�/a>April 13, 2015Worth visiting, huge line for going up to the top, I recommend go in lunch time to avoid queuing that much!
Kushal SanghviMay 1, 2015A lot of people go and check out the view from the Eiffel Tower but the one on top is great simply as it is the only junction in the full world with so many roads going through
Emircan Ery谋lmazJune 3, 2018The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
AlteralecDecember 26, 2013This huge monument stands at one end of the Avenue des Champs-Elys茅es, in the middle of the carrefour de l'茅toile. You can go upstairs, you'll have a really nice view of the Avenue.
Abdulrahman Almunayes 馃嚢馃嚰January 2, 2023Well-Known touristic attraction & destination, you can take selfies or photos from any angle. Be aware of cars & traffic lights. 賲賵賯毓 爻賷丕丨賷 賲毓乇賵賮 賱賱鬲氐賵賷乇
L隆vAugust 4, 2019If you come from the train station, you can get a great view from opposite the 鈥楢rc De Triomphe鈥�. Looks amazing 鉂わ笍
Veni IApril 24, 2014Biggest round-abound in the world!! Magnificent view from the top - It is much more worth it going up the Arc rather then Eiffel Tower (queue is practically non-existant, cheaper, cooler)
AbhishekMay 29, 2017Take the 700 flight of stairs in the evening to see the beautiful city in dark with the lit up Eiffel Tower! Totally worth the climb!
Christopher MongJune 26, 2013Paris Museum Pass gets you to the top for free and you can skip the ticket line. There's an elevator for those who physically cannot take the stairs, though there is still about 30 steps to the top.
thpsychoSeptember 8, 2015One if the best place to take a photo of Arc de Triomphe is in the middle of the road (there's a small area for people to line up without getting run over by cars)
C. Sha鈥oe McIntoshOctober 20, 2018Start here an walk Champs-脡lys茅es. Absolutely gorgeous. Stop for macaroons at Pierre & food anywhere. Absolutely stunning.
Faraneh NSeptember 9, 2016U can have a good view of the Arch from the Champs-脡lys茅es. If u wanna take a good symmetric photo with it u can stand in the pavement of the middle of the street.
Ness PLFebruary 25, 2016Definitely a sight to see in Paris. It's in the Champs-Elysees area, so you can enjoy a cuppa & go shopping after your photo op 馃槞
Christopher Dos SantosJune 15, 2018Beautiful to walk around! If you see the huge flag it means there is something special happening!
Jesse JohnstonNovember 14, 2015Gorgeous monument with a rooftop viewing deck. Although the structure itself is gorgeous, the views of the Paris skyline can't be beat.
