Arc de Triomphe, Paris

Wonderful place to visit in Paris!!! This historic site was very easy to visit. Understand you have to climb a lot of stairs to reach upper floors (where the gift shop is located) and the terrace. But, good Lord, what a spectacular place to view Paris on a clear afternoon!! Epic views of the Eiffel Tower. Staff was helpful and very friendly. Very easy and quick to buy a ticket and visit in mid-February. Restrooms are available on the top floors but you can only urinate in the men’s room; no sit down or squat toilets so make sure you are good for at least a couple hours. Stairs for up and down so you don’t have to fight other people to enter and exit. Very safe, a must see!!!

Beautiful, majestic, and a must visit landmark in Paris! The carvings are very intricate, and there are 4 big ones on the faces of the legs of the arch. I highly recommend going up, though the climb is up and down a narrow spiralling staircase (though an elevator is available). From the top, you can see the Eiffel Tower and the surrounding neighborhoods very clearly. If you enjoy photography, the streets that branch out in all directions from the arch makes for incredible shots. Budget 30-60 minutes for your visit, more if you spend more time taking photos.

Great place, well worth a visit. Can pay to go into it too. It's about £12 each, but you will have to climb the stairs.. all 180 plus of them and that's to the room with some history and original bits of stone. It's up another few flights to get onto the top. Will worth it though, great views and can watch the traffic below on that manic roundabout.

What a view! We had young kids with us and it was very late in the day so I didn't get much chance to read any info but there was lots of info on the walls inside (near the top). The view outside was fab, we saw sunset whilst up there too which was so cool. Will definitely go again and try to take in some more of the history around the monument

It is so huge. Never would have thought it to be so huge. Had just looked at photos and to witness it in real was a freaking amazing experience. The view from the top is mesmerizing. It certainly divides the huge area around it and feels as if its at the centre. You can also see the Eiffel tower from it. Lots of shops, eateries around it to enjoy the view and then go and relax nearby
