Eiffel Tower Question

My husband and I will be wrapping up a two week tour of France in Paris for 2 nites mid July arriving mid day Sunday flying out early Tuesday. We didn%26#39;t go up the Tower on our last stop over in Paris due to a long line up and our limited time to see so many other amazing sites - I don%26#39;t want to miss it this time. Can you buy tickets in advance? ie purchase tickets Sunday for early morning Monday admission? Or does anyone have other suggestions?





Appreciate any advise

It is my best understanding that you can%26#39;t buy tickets in advance for the tower. We go up it every year we go to Paris. . . . just because its the Tower I guess. We always go around sunset or in the evening and have never had to wait more than 20 minutes in line.

No, there is no advance buy option. There is also no pass that lets you line skip either.



The only sure way to get up at a certain time is to make a reserevation for a meal and one of the restaurants. Which you should try to do now if interested, maybe a late lunch on Sunday would be nice?



Or you could try going in early evening as some posters say lines are bad then, I have never noticed that myself.



Or you could take the stairs, the line for them is shorter then the eleveator line, and it is kind of fun doing them, a unique look at the structure.



Or since that is apparently the one thing you really want to see you could just bite the bullet and stand in line.
