Monument ~ 2 hours

The iconic Arc de Triomphe stands majestically in the center of Paris, France. The structure was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806 to honor his army’s victory at the Battle of Austerlitz and its completion was celebrated in 1836. Standing 50 meters tall and 45 meters wide, it is one of the most recognized monuments in Europe. As you walk around it, take a moment to admire the sculptures that adorn its four corners as well as observe an eternal flame burning in memory of unknown soldiers from WWI. At the top of Arc de Triomphe lies an observation deck where visitors can get stunning views over Paris’ avenues and monuments like Eiffel Tower. Don’t forget to make time for its underground museum filled with interesting history about this beautiful monument!

Plan your visit

Planning a visit to Arc de Triomphe in Paris? Here are some tips and tricks for an enjoyable experience: 1. Before visiting the famous monument, pre-book your ticket online - it will save you time queuing up and allow you more time to explore. 2. Try not to arrive during peak times; mornings or early afternoons tend to be less crowded and give you plenty of opportunity to take photos without people in them! 3. Don’t forget a map, as the area is quite busy with cars and tourists alike - it can get confusing! 4. Bring along something warm like a jacket or scarf, even during warm summer days temperatures drop significantly once the sun sets at night! 5. Wear comfortable shoes for climbing the 284 steps leading up to Arc de Triomphe - an amazing view awaits at the top that is worth every step!
