    My favorite view in Paris, and it's much better than the Eiffel Tower. Entrance to the top for breathtaking, panoramic views of Paris is free for EU citizens under 26! Amazing detail in the arc!

    Fantastic panoramic view of Paris, Eiffel Tower, and pretty much everything! Worth every cent. If you are under 26 and have a EU citizenship you can get in for Free with ID. A must in Paris!

    An amazing monument to visit in Paris, but don't forget to look up to appreciate the many details which can be found on the ceiling as well as the eternal flame which has been burning since 1923 Read more

    Well worth the price of admission. Be prepared to climb up a lot of stairs, but you’ll be rewarded with sensational scenic views and the best spot in the city to take photos.

    If you’re under 26 from the EU you don’t have to pay any entrance fee! The view from the top is amazing but it’s a real physical torture to go up those stairs!!

    A very must see attraction. It is one of the most important, the oldest, the most historic tourist attraction. Possible to climb up. Great at night, possible to observe Tour Eiffel in light.

    The Unknown Soldier tomb or the Arc de Triomphe is one of the most popular spots in Paris, you can get access and climb to the top to see a different perspective of the city, the entry price is €13

    Enjoy the amazing view just before sunset and have a nice walk in the champs-Élysées where there are many shops and restaurants.

    Gigantesque, well carved and breath taking, this monument will blow you away! It has the flame of the unknown soldier underneath and you can go all the way up to see why it’s “place de l’étoile”

    Awesome views, a lot of steps up, stay until 22:00 with a nice spot across Eiffel Tower to start taking pics! Helps to have a museum pass to avoid long queues. Can’t avoid the security queue control.

    The best time visit is at sunrise or at sunset. Don’t go during the height of the day, Paris shines at night and the best view can be had from here.

    The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées

    The best view of all Paris at the top of the Arc de Triomphe. Go to top and see the beauty of the city. Also learn about the history of the Arc, is really amazing. My favorite place of Paris.

    Night and day, and even on rainy days, it still worth the visit. If you are going to get in try to do it on a sunny day and be brave walking all the steps to the top to get a marvellous view.

    Incredible views. A must see. If you are from the European community. The entrance is free. Even if you are just studying and have an ID from that country.

    Nice view on Champs Élysées, the other half is closed. Quite expensive (€9.50), so better visit using the Paris Pass. Open till late, so visit museums first, then climb the Arc and take a cruise after

    A lot of people go and check out the view from the Eiffel Tower but the one on top is great simply as it is the only junction in the full world with so many roads going through

    The Arc de Triomphe costs just 9 euros to ascend and the view down Champs Élysées is well worth the money. Be prepared as you have to walk to the top but can ride an elevator down.

    Definitely worth the 12 Euros (Jan 2016) to go up. Best view of Paris, even better than that on the Eiffel Tower. Focal point of Paris.

    Paris Museum Pass gets you to the top for free and you can skip the ticket line. There's an elevator for those who physically cannot take the stairs, though there is still about 30 steps to the top.

    Biggest round-abound in the world!! Magnificent view from the top - It is much more worth it going up the Arc rather then Eiffel Tower (queue is practically non-existant, cheaper, cooler)

    This huge monument stands at one end of the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, in the middle of the carrefour de l'étoile. You can go upstairs, you'll have a really nice view of the Avenue.

    Make sure you take the underground passageway near near Avenue des Champs-Élysées! Do not attempt to run across the roundabout.

    Look for the underground passageway on the roundabout just off the Champs Élysées to get a different perspective of the Arc even if you don't want to pay to climb the stairs and view Paris from above Read more

    Simply fantastic 360 degree views of Paris. But if you're on foot, there are a lot of stairs to climb - lift available, but it doesn't go all the way to the top

    Find the underground path to cross the street to the center (There are two on opposite ends) Enjoy the view from the top, then walk down Champs-Elysées and do some fancy window shopping.

    Certainly one of the most iconic monuments of Paris. Unlike the Eiffel Tower, it's not so spectacular at night, it's better to visit it when the sun is still up.

    If you require step free access to the top, you’re able to get a lift from the ground to the first section and a smaller lift to the roof. Roof has ramps to allow wheelchair access

    There is an underground pass so you don’t have to run in the middle of the road. Also, you can go upstairs and see the view

    Gorgeous monument with a rooftop viewing deck. Although the structure itself is gorgeous, the views of the Paris skyline can't be beat.

    U can have a good view of the Arch from the Champs-Élysées. If u wanna take a good symmetric photo with it u can stand in the pavement of the middle of the street.

    Another stunning landmark, it's okay if you can't make across the roundabout because of all the cars to get to the arc, the view from across the street is better !
