Paris · Traveler’s guide
Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is the iron lattice landmark on the Champ de Mars and the symbol of Paris, visited by millions each year for its viewing levels and city panoramas.
About Eiffel Tower
- Three visitor levels reached by lift or stairs, with the summit offering the widest views over Paris.
- Entry requires security screening, so plan for queues especially in summer and on weekends.
- Large suitcases and bulky bags are turned away at security and cannot be checked on site.
- Nearest Métro stops are Bir-Hakeim (line 6) and École Militaire (line 8); RER C stops at Champ de Mars.
- Storage partners on Avenue de la Bourdonnais keep luggage safe while you visit.
The Eiffel Tower is Paris's most-visited paid monument, drawing millions who ascend its three levels for panoramic views over the Seine and the Champ de Mars. Because access involves airport-style security screening, large bags, suitcases, and oversized backpacks are refused at the entrance, and there is no cloakroom on site for such luggage. Travelers arriving straight from a station or a day trip therefore need somewhere nearby to leave bags before queuing. Storage partners cluster along Avenue de la Bourdonnais and near the Bir-Hakeim and École Militaire Métro stops, only a few minutes' walk from the pillars. Dropping luggage first lets visitors clear security quickly and enjoy the tower, the surrounding gardens, and Seine river cruises hands-free before continuing across the city.
