My favorite view in Paris, and it's much better than the Eiffel Tower . Entrance to the top for breathtaking, panoramic views of Paris is free for EU citizens under 26! Amazing detail in the arc!

Nikos Krodiras

Fantastic panoramic view of Paris , Eiffel Tower , and pretty much everything! Worth every cent. If you are under 26 and have a EU citizenship you can get in for Free with ID. A must in Paris!

Kate Davis

An amazing monument to visit in Paris, but don't forget to look up to appreciate the many details which can be found on the ceiling as well as the eternal flame which has been burning since 1923 Read more

Avneesh Kohli

Well worth the price of admission. Be prepared to climb up a lot of stairs , but you’ll be rewarded with sensational scenic views and the best spot in the city to take photos.

Alex Curiel

If you’re under 26 from the EU you don’t have to pay any entrance fee! The view from the top is amazing but it’s a real physical torture to go up those stairs !!

Murat

A 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.k

Very nice and beautiful place to overlook Paris , Eiffel tour and champ elysees from above but WTF with the stairs ????

Closed

Enjoy the amazing view just before sunset and have a nice walk in the champs-Élysées where there are many shops and restaurants .

Michael Barakat

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’s “place de l’étoile”

Chris <M>

Awesome 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’t avoid the security queue control.

Haifa

Climbed 275 stairs to see this beautiful panoramic view !???????? I'm sure it will be more beautiful during sunset ..

Lina

One of the most iconic landmarks in Paris! Beautiful details.✨

Kapt’n Koko

The best time visit is at sunrise or at sunset . Don’t go during the height of the day, Paris shines at night and the best view can be had from here.

Sebastián Masad

The 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 Ben

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile 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-Élysées

L C

Amazing view but wear comfortable shoes since its a very steep stairs going up

Luis Castro

Incredible 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 Bueno

Night 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 C

Definitely 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 Francisco

Climb its spiral stairs up to the top and see an amazing view of Paris . Entrance for Adult is 12€

GregWasThere

Go to the top but book your tickets online and cut the line to go to the top !

New York Habitat

The Arc de Triomphe costs just 9 euros to ascend and the view down Champs Élysées is well worth the money. Be prepared as you have to walk to the top but can ride an elevator down.

Foodie

Nice view on Champs Élysées, the other half is closed. Quite expensive (€9.50), so better visit using the Paris Pass. Open till late, so visit museums first, then climb the Arc and take a cruise after

Bogdan Guna

Worth climbing the stairs for the breathtaking and romantic view over Paris.

Chris Davis

Make sure you take the underground passageway near near Avenue des Champs-Élysées! Do not attempt to run across the roundabout .

Desert Breeze

Great monument to visit with an amazing view of Paris except never go to the top by the stairs , it's so damn exhausting

Kyze

Certainly 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.

Daniel McDonough

100% worth the trip to the top. Amazing views of the entire city unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower .

Morag Rethans

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

Chris Kennedy

If you require step free access to the top, you’re 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

????????????????á???????? ✨

Worth visiting, huge line for going up to the top, I recommend go in lunch time to avoid queuing that much!

Mel Mc

Look for the underground passageway on the roundabout just off the Champs Élysées to get a different perspective of the Arc even if you don't want to pay to climb the stairs and view Paris from above Read more

Kushal Sanghvi

A 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

Alteralec

This huge monument stands at one end of the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, in the middle of the carrefour de l'étoile. You can go upstairs, you'll have a really nice view of the Avenue.

Emircan Eryılmaz

The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

L¡v

If you come from the train station , you can get a great view from opposite the ‘Arc De Triomphe’. Looks amazing ❤️

Veni I

Biggest 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)

Christopher Mong

Paris 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.

thpsycho

One 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)

Abhishek

Take 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 !

Abdulrahman Almunayes ????????

Well-Known touristic attraction & destination, you can take selfies or photos from any angle. Be aware of cars & traffic lights. موقع سياحي معروف للتصوير

C. Sha•Doe McIntosh

Start here an walk Champs-Élysées. Absolutely gorgeous. Stop for macaroons at Pierre & food anywhere. Absolutely stunning.

Jesse Johnston

Gorgeous monument with a rooftop viewing deck. Although the structure itself is gorgeous, the views of the Paris skyline can't be beat.

Christopher Dos Santos

Beautiful to walk around! If you see the huge flag it means there is something special happening!

Ness PL

Definitely 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 ????

Jon Pressman

Be sure to climb the steps to the top! Huge exhibition and shop up top

Faraneh N

U can have a good view of the Arch from the Champs-Élysées. If u wanna take a good symmetric photo with it u can stand in the pavement of the middle of the street.
