How to get to the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is located in the heart of Paris, in the 7th arrondissement, and is very easy to access. We recommend taking public transport to come here: metro, RER, or bus. The Eiffel Tower is very well-connected to the metro – there are three stations in the nearby area. On line 6, the Bir Hakeim station is the closest, less than 10 minutes’ walk from Entrance 1 (Allée des Refuzniks) of the monument. Metro stations Trocadéro (line 9) and Ecole Militaire (line 8) are 15 minutes by foot from the Tower. Another option is line C of the RER train network, which serves the Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel station, located 5 minutes’ walk from Entrance 1.
You can also come by bus: lines 82, 30 and 42 serve stops 5 minutes’ walk from Entrance 2 of the Eiffel Tower (Allée Jean Paulhan). Bus lines 69 and 86 stop at the Champ de Mars, 7 minutes from Entrance 1. The 72 drops you off near Trocadéro, around 15 minutes away by foot.
If you want to drive to the area near the Eiffel Tower, we recommend parking in a public parking lot. You have several options for paid parking lots, including the Quai Branly – Tour Eiffel parking lot located just over 5 minutes by foot from Entrance 2 (Allée Jean Paulhan).
