Very interesting and impressive place. I you want to go to the top, be prepared to climb a long stair, bring water, and buy the ticket on-line (we buy it on-line being there because of the long line of people, and could access quickly). One level before te top, it's a souvenirs store, a toilette, and some historic information. The view is great, but it's a bit crowded. There is an elevator for people with special needs to reach the top

The monument's grandeur is awe-inspiring. The intricate details and towering presence make it a must-see in Paris. Visiting in January was a good choice as it was less crowded, allowing for a more enjoyable experience.
Getting to the top may take a little patience, but the panoramic view of Paris is totally worth it! It's a fantastic vantage point to see the city's landmarks in all their glory.

The monument held so much history and emotion. Recommend to climb up for sunset. Be prepared to climb steep stairs though. It was a great way to enjoy 360 degrees of Paris view. I could see the Eiffel Tower in a distance and watched the light went on. Book your ticket in advance.
We werenāt planning originally to go inside the Arc but we ended up getting the Museum Pass so we thought - why not? And Iām really glad we did. We got there at around 2 on a Monday. It was a bit crowded but it wasnāt too bad. You do need to climb 284 steps (a lot of which are spiraled) but the view is so worth it. Itās a 360 view of Paris and you get a nice view of the Eiffel Tower. We spent about 45 minutes in total there including climbing, enjoying the view at the top, and taking pictures outside.
If youāre not staying in the area, Iād recommend combining a visit to the Arc with one to the Eiffel Tower (go SUPER early for that one). The Arc is about a 20 minute walk away.
Tip - if you need to cross the huge roundabout of cars, thereās a tunnel underneath thatās connected to the metro. You donāt need to dash across like we did, before we found out about it.

The center monument of Paris and the most famous of them all.
The monument is breath-taking and marvelous. You could purchase an online ticket for only 13ā¬ to avoid the crowded queue on the official website.
You better chose the visit hour very carefully to avoid sun heat, I prefer sunset hour.
The stairs can be very annoying and challenging for some, especially the elders or people with special needs.
There is a souvenir store in there but most of the items and gifts are way too expensive.
