Arc de Triomphe Tours and Tickets
An instantly recognizable symbol of Paris, the colossal Arc de Triomphe stands at the epicenter of Place Charles de Gaulle, where 12 of the city’s busiest avenues converge. The Napoleon-commissioned monument, adorned with high-relief sculptures depicting sword-wielding soldiers and inscribed with the names of generals and battles, commemorates French soldiers and military victories. The top of the arch, accessible via 284 steps, affords superb views over all of Paris.

The NYE fireworks and Bastille Day parade are equally spectacular, but avoid the crowds by opting for a weekday morning visit instead.

...MoreYou don’t need a reservation for the Arc de Triomphe, but booking in advance is recommended.

...MoreQueues at the Arc de Triomphe can take up to 1.5 hours at busy times, which are summers, holiday weekends, and evenings during the Christmas illuminations. To skip the long lines, buy your tickets online and get a timed entry slot, or plan your visit for first or last entry when there are fewer crowds.
...MoreVisiting the Arc de Triomphe at night affords even more spectacular views, and the observation deck stays open until 11pm from April through September and until 10:30pm from October through March. However, last entry is 45 minutes before closing, so you should arrive before 10:15pm or 9:45pm, depending on the season.
