How To Get To The Eiffel Tower Top?
Most Eiffel Tower tickets offer access to the first and second floors; to get to the summit, you can opt for the upgrade and pay an additional amount. With this upgrade, you get complete access to the Eiffel Tower summit. There is only one way to get to the Eiffel Tower summit: by taking an elevator from the Eiffel Tower's second floor as the staircase from the second floor to the summit is closed for visitors.
To get to the Eiffel Tower's second floor, there are two options: you can take either the stairs or the elevator.
If you opt to take the stairs, head to the South Pillar. Here, you will find a ticket counter and the 674 steps up to the second floor. If your Eiffel Tower ticket includes elevator access, you can go to either the East or West Pillars where you will find entrances to the top.
