The perfect place to enjoy and soak up the wonderful atmosphere. We were up there at sunset and it was a dream. The first light show of the Eiffel Tower was also simply an experience.

When we booked our appointment, we were let in on time, the check-in was quick, the lift took us up to the 56th floor in no time, from where we had a wonderful panoramic view all around. We also liked the QR code mobile downloadable app that showed us what buildings we could see in the lake. The sunset was beautiful, I loved every minute of it. Sky bar was also working but we didn't use it.

What I liked best was that you could walk through the catacombs at your own pace and still get to know everything about the story thanks to the audio guide.

Furthermore, the information from the audio guide was understandable, informative and yet not too much.

Why visit Montparnasse Tower
For views from the observation deck

Which Montparnasse Tower ticket is best for you

- Only here for Paris city views? Opt for the entry tickets that give you access to the observation deck on the 56th floor and the terrace on the 59th floor.
- Spend as much time as you want at the top and also relish quick bites like sandwiches, salads and croque-monsieurs plus drinks and desserts at the 360 cafe located on the observation deck.
Recommended tickets
- Montparnasse Tower Entrance Tickets: 56th Floor and Roof Terrace
Guided tours
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

The walking tour of the area will be led by an English-speaking guide who will let you in on interesting facts about the neighborhood, like how it was frequented by famous artistic and literary geniuses.
- Tickets include entry to the Montparnasse Tower itself, complete with admission to the observation deck on the 56th floor and even access to a Paris shuttle that stops at popular tourist spots.

What’s at the top: Exploring the Montparnasse Tower
The observation deck
Located on the dizzying 56th floor, offering a panoramic view of Paris from 210 meters above the city, you’ll reach the top after a 38-second ride in the fastest elevator in Europe. Enjoy the views while also engaging with interactive terminals, touch-screen tables. Don’t forget to look through the telescopes for a closer look - literally and figuratively - about the city's landmarks.
The rooftop
If you’re more of a soaking-the-sunlight-in-the-open-air kind of person, the Montparnasse rooftop is perfect for you! As you sunbathe and enjoy a refreshing drink from the champagne bar, you can spot the iconic attractions of Paris, like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral– it’s your day out, your way.
The VR experience
To add a modern twist to the classic sightseeing, you can strap on a headset and view Paris in its former glory at the Montparnasse Tower with the VR experience! Called "Paris Time Travel", it celebrates the rich history and timeless beauty of Paris. From the time of Lutetia, the Gallo-Roman city that existed before, to medieval Paris and even the Eiffel Tower's inauguration for the Universal Exhibition in 1889, it’ll transport you back in time.
The 360 cafe
Refuel at the 360 Café right at the summit! Located on the 56th floor of the Montparnasse Tower, it’s Europe's highest panoramic café– it offers a range of food and drink options, from hot meals and fresh sandwiches to romantic candle-lit dinners.
