sinisa cvahteSeptember 18, 2017If you want a view with Eiffel tower in it then this is the place. 17eur for the ticket but there is no waiting in lines and you can even take a power nap on top of the tower.

Corinne ClarkJune 11, 2013Great view of Paris complete with the Eiffel Tower and no queues. Would recommend going at night though when the city's all lit up - our trip on a cloudy morning didn't really live up to the hype!Upvote9Downvote
Almog TlumakJanuary 31, 2015360 greatest view, the best for my taste. You have small a cafeteria, and the open top floor to enjoy the view, bring warm clothes. The elevator is directed and the price is low. Go in the sunset :)

Upvote1Downvote - Funky RMay 13, 2013Beautiful view from the second largest building in paris. Take a bottle of bubbles with you and enjoy the magnific scenery while the sun sets and the city of lights becomes dark.

Poliana BellanFebruary 14, 2017It's really worth the tour! The 360° view is awesome! And having the chance to see the Eiffle Tower lighting at night is amazing!UpvoteDownvote
Catherine WuMay 27, 2014Go to Ciel de Paris and get a drink to see the amazing view without the 11euro entrance fee! Great view of the Eiffel Tower! Busy on weekend evenings.UpvoteDownvote
Chris R (thechristophe)September 23, 2021Lovely views across the city. 25% off entry with a Paris visite travelcard.

Andy BryantNovember 1, 2014Of you're bringing a tripod, make sure it is a full height one. The gaps in the glass barrier are eye level for a 5ft 10 person.
UpvoteDownvote- Tierney DobsonJuly 12, 2014It's 14€ pp. so try and make at least an hour or so of it. Plenty to do on the 56th floor though. Have a reasonable priced beverage and enjoy the view.UpvoteDownvote
- Mel McFebruary 10, 2014View all the Parisian monuments minus this modern skyscraper from the Panoramic 56th floor or from the outdoor Terrace - 360 degree views from here
Upvote1Downvote - UlkemSeptember 23, 2016One of the highest buildings in paris. The terrace offers an Excellent view of city. Also nice restaurants existUpvoteDownvote
CameraNeonJanuary 12, 2014Traga uma lente telefoto para melhor enquadramento da Torre Eiffel ao longe + La Défense ao fundo. / Bring a telephoto lens for a better composition of the Eiffel Tower + La Défense on the background.UpvoteDownvote
Irina SimatovaMay 13, 2014Second time if was here and I saw when the sun went down. Here is very beautiful view to Paris and Eiffel. 210 m = 58 floors. Not so much people here, no queue to the lift. Better then Eiffel as I seeUpvoteDownvote
Jai OthmanJanuary 16, 2013Come here at night and enjoy the 360 degrees view of a flickering lights from the city. So amazing!

Dylan MasonOctober 11, 2015They're friendly to photographers here. The panoramic terrace has slits in the glass that you can stick a camera lens through.UpvoteDownvote
Paul SmithMay 27, 2014Amazing views of Paris from the top. It's pricey, but you can't do this anywhere else.UpvoteDownvote
Mikael WestmanMarch 25, 2013Skip the Eiffel visit and come here. No queuing and you can have a glass of wine while watching the sunset!Upvote3Downvote
Marina BurityMay 10, 2015Don't waste your time and money here. It's a place to grab tourists and has zero charm. Try the top of eiffel tour, Notre-Dame, pompidou, lafayette, they're all betterUpvoteDownvote
Adelino NakanoNovember 30, 2014Interesting place to see Eiffel Tower and have a view over Paris without long queue lines.UpvoteDownvote
Martin OplockýApril 28, 2014I like modern buildings and skyscrapers but this one does not belong to centre of Paris but to the La DéfenseUpvoteDownvote
Avi SchwabJune 11, 2014As with many other touristy skyscrapers, you can pay the same price for just the view, or a drink and the view.UpvoteDownvote
AurélienNovember 7, 2014The only one skyscraper in Paris. The 56th floor offers an amazing view.UpvoteDownvote
Io As SoonJuly 1, 2018This tower is ugly... I don’t know what’s happened in the head of the guys who validated this project. The only good thing with, you have a beautiful sight of Paris from the top without seeing itUpvoteDownvote
Igor MiniailoSeptember 6, 2014Picturesque view on the city center and not so crowded as Eifel towerUpvoteDownvote
Matt CannellMay 29, 2011If you don't have a reservation, sit at the bar, grab a scotch. The view is just as good.UpvoteDownvote
- Igor MiniailoSeptember 6, 2014At the observation point free Wi-Fi internet. Speed is okay.UpvoteDownvote

Tamás NovákJanuary 3, 2013Don't go there in a hurry. The queue to the elevator down can be longer than the one going up.UpvoteDownvote
