Third party websites also sell tickets as part of tour packages that may include other features including a guide and Seine river cruise.
Levels:
There are three levels.
Levels 1 and 2 have restaurants and can be accessed by stairs (over 300 steps to level 1 and similar numbers from level 1 to 2) as well as elevators. Level 3 can be reached by elevators only (also has stairs but this is not open to the public).
There are different types of tickets for priority entry, elevators/ stairs access, and for levels 1, 2 and 3. Children under 4 are allowed free entry.
Level 3 has two platforms - the upper platform (276 m or 906 ft) is the highest publicly accessible observation deck in the EU.
While the views from level 2 are breathtaking themselves, level 3 provides truly birds-eye views of the city. Many of Paris’ main attractions can be spotted from both levels. Level 1 features a glass floor in the central area, which gives a vertical view of the ground 57 m (187 ft) below.
