Arc de Triomphe, Paris

Very cool how you need to go underground to reach the arc (around it are moving cars that won't stop for you). Just going around the arc and seeing stuff like the eternal flame is free, if you want to get inside you have to pay (unless you're under 26 and a EU citizen). After you walk a lot of stairs, there isn't really a lot to do or see. But if you walk a few more stairs you get in the top and my God the view is stunning. I would even say that the view is better than from the top of the Eiffel tower. Simply because you can see much more details (because everything doesn't appear tiny) and you get to see all the impressive monuments, including the Eiffel tower. So I highly recommend to get to the top and enjoy the view.

Great place. Go to the top for fantastic views..but be prepared for lots of steps. You can see the whole of Paris from the top and the chaos of the traffic below. We also went here to watch the Tour de France which was ideal with two large screens and shops very close for supplies as well as the sponsors village giving free food away !!!! My best bit of Paris

Worth a visit, must see while in Paris! Nice shopping ( and window shopping..) nearby and fantastic scenery from the roof especially during sunset..We walked from the Champ Elysees up to the Arc de Triomphe . Really impressive and what is more incredible is the circle road around it where 12 roads spread from the circle like a star.The inside with sculptures is very interesting.. The grave of the unknown soldier must be visited too.

Wow. What a great place to start a visit to Paris. Makes the most extreme UK roundabouts look tame. Easy to access lots to see and do Thank heavens for the underpass to the centre. Did not pay the €12.00 to go to the top of the monument. Think that I will see this every day of my visit.

A staple of Paris for any tourist who is visiting for the first time. Get photos of the entire Arc from outside the traffic circle. The line to the top is always long and runs down into underground. Try visiting during the week or during the off season. View are amazing from the top. The is great place also to visit during the night when it is lit up.
