People Also Ask
What is the best time to visit Arc de Triomphe?
The best time to visit the Arc de Triomphe is around 6pm, when the Eternal Flame is rekindled. After dark is also atmospheric, as you can admire the city’s illuminations. The NYE fireworks and Bastille Day parade are equally spectacular, but avoid the crowds by opting for a weekday morning visit instead.
...MoreWhat should you not miss at the Arc de Triomphe?
The Arc de Triomphe is among Paris’ most famous landmarks. You shouldn’t miss the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame, or the views from the observation deck, from which you can spot top Paris attractions such as the Champs Elysées, the Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre.
...MoreDo you need reservations for the Arc de Triomphe?
You don’t need a reservation for the Arc de Triomphe, but booking in advance is recommended. While you can buy tickets on arrival, you might wait up to an hour at busy times and entry isn’t always guaranteed. Booking a timed admission ticket or guided tour lets you skip the lines and guarantees entry.
...MoreHow much time do you need at the Arc de Triomphe?
Plan to spend an hour at the Arc de Triomphe, as this will give you time to admire its unique architecture, see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame, and take in the views from the observation deck. Book your tickets in advance to skip the lines and save time.
...MoreHow long is the queue at the Arc de Triomphe?
Queues 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.
...MoreHow late can you go up the Arc de Triomphe?
Visiting 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.
