Arc de Triomphe Entry Tickets Overview
Few monuments in the world command as much reverence and grandeur as the Arc de Triomphe. Commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 and completed in 1836, this monumental triumphal arch stands 50 metres tall at the heart of the Place Charles de Gaulle, where twelve of Paris's most celebrated avenues converge in a magnificent star formation.
Climb the 284 steps to the rooftop terrace and you will be rewarded with one of Paris's most breathtaking panoramic views, stretching from the Eiffel Tower to the distant skyline of La Defense with the entire length of the Champs-Elysees laid out below you. Inside the arch, beautifully carved reliefs, inscriptions, and exhibitions tell the story of France's greatest military campaigns and the soldiers who fought in them.
Beneath the arch at ground level lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame has burned every single day since 1923. Book your skip the line Arc de Triomphe Paris tickets now and experience one of the most moving and magnificent landmarks France has to offer.

FAQs
From the rooftop terrace you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of Paris including the Eiffel Tower, the Sacre-Coeur, the Louvre, the Seine river, and the modern skyline of La Defense. All twelve avenues radiating from the Place de l'Etoile are visible from above.
From 1 April to 30 September the Arc de Triomphe is open Wednesday to Monday from 10:00 to 23:00 and on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 23:00. From 1 October to 31 March hours are Wednesday to Monday 10:00 to 22:30 and Tuesdays 11:00 to 22:30. Last entry is 45 minutes before closing.
The Arc de Triomphe is closed on 1 May. It opens later or closes earlier on 8 May, the morning of 14 July (Bastille Day), and the morning of 11 November (Armistice Day) due to national ceremonies. Always check the official schedule before your visit on these dates.
Sunset is widely considered the best time to visit as the golden light creates spectacular views across Paris and the Champs-Elysees. Arriving around 30 minutes before sunset and staying into the evening allows you to enjoy both the golden hour and the illuminated Paris skyline.
Beneath the arch at ground level is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the resting place of an unidentified French soldier from World War I. An eternal flame has burned above the tomb every single day since 1923, including during the Second World War. A veterans' ceremony relights the flame every evening at 18:30 and is free to attend.
