What To Expect
Arc de Triomphe
A unique viewpoint. From the top of the panoramic terrace, your eyes sweep over the whole of Paris. The revisited Antiquity. Architect Jean-François Chalgrin was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus in a single arch, but went beyond it by exceptional dimensions (about 50 m high, 45 m long and 22 m wide) and abandoning columns. A key place of major national events. Wanted by Napoleon in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated in 1836 by French king, Louis-Philippe, who dedicated it to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire. The Unknown Soldier was buried at the base of the arch in 1921. The flame of remembrance is rekindled every day at 18:30.

5.00This was not guided. It was just tickets. You could buy them on the day you wanted to go up. Probably cost less.
Must do

2.00The experience itself is quite good. Wonderful views from the top. I can imagine in the busy season it’s very crazy. We were there in November and there were no crowds. I don’t know that you need to use the Viator app for this. It was very frustrating as to which barcode or QR code you had use to get in. I got so many emails and messages about this experience that it became confusing as to which option to use. Viator needs to simplify how this works.

3.00Lots and lots of tiny steeps, cardio workout. Two family members had issues getting up stairs and had to go back down due to a foot injury and hip injury. At the bottom they were told there was a lift.
Outstanding views of Paris!!

5.00This may have been my favourite experience while visiting Paris. The views are stunning, unreal. No issues with timed entry, our ticket was provided to us via email and WhatsApp. Many stairs to get to the top - we took a break or 2 in our way up, and there are benches just near the top for a rest. Beautiful views!! Cute gift shop. Highly recommend.

5.00A LOT of stairs to get to the top but the view is worth it. Eiffel tower in the background of pictures is great! Birdseye view of the city as well. Details on the designs/statues/etc on the Arc can be found inside as well if you're into the history side.
Prepare for lots of...

5.00You gain access to arc De Triomphe at top of Champs Elysees access the underground passageway takes minutes only follow signs …bypass the ticketing lines and show person at “gate” your pass which displays time. We covered it all in about an hour…views were amazing and tomb of Unknown soldier was a nice memorial.
