Self-guided but amazing views

Valeria_L, Apr 2026
It's self-guided and the views are amazing. Go to the rooftop, not many people know about that. 360 of the city both indoors and outdoors.

Amazing view of Paris! I...

Amazing view of Paris! I wish I went later in the evening for a more city lights view but still very nice.

Great view, especially at night.

Stephen_S, Feb 2026
It's easy to waste time on the enclosed lower level, although that might not be too bad if it's cold. Look for the stairs to the rooftop deck for unobstructed views.

Great view

Virginia_G, Jan 2026
View is beautiful but that’s it . Food and drinks are minimal. The place could be so much more if they would offer more.

Great view from the...

Great view from the tallest building (not structure) in Paris! And great way to see the Eiffel Tower and learn the layout of the city! We did this the first day we were there and it was helpful :)

No response from tour provider

Joel_C, Oct 2025
We arrive a little early before our designated time and even though there was nobody there, they would not let us up to the observation deck. Contacted tour provider through the app to change time, but no response.

Do not recommend

joao_s, Oct 2025
The tower was closed and will be closed until Friday. Tried to reach for rebook for another day but until now without success. No warning for the tower closure.

Nice views

Maura_G, Oct 2025
Disorganized and confusing entry process. There were no clear signs for the tour, and the wait for the bar and rooftop was painfully long because all lines were merged. The night view was pleasant but not exceptional, so don't feel like you've missed out if you decide to skip it."

Good experience....

William_M, Sep 2025
Good experience. Wonderful view of the Tour Eiffel. Virtual reality information guide good but one not working so we did part of the history

Best deal and all...

Aristotle_Y, Sep 2025
Best deal and all worthwhile. Less crowd and location accessible to the metro. Building staff are very accommodating.

Great view but overpriced.

Kellie_G, Sep 2025
The view was great but was overpriced for the experience. It was very windy and cold and had very few places to sit to enjoy the view. I recommend saving your money and putting it towards going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which was a much better experience.

Nice view. Wonderful...

Dennis_G, Sep 2025
Nice view. Wonderful 👍👍👍👍 experience. Highly recommend this. Not crowded at all . Thumbs up 👍👍

We thought we would be...

Karen_D, Sep 2025
We thought we would be able to go up and have a glass of champagne, get a small bite to eat and watch the lights of the Eiffel Tower. There was no bar service at all and a small kiosk that sold pastry. View was nice.

Average with poor signage

Julie_M, Sep 2025
The signage for the tower is almost nonexistent. We nearly left after walking completely around the building. Staff are substandard and the whole experience was very average The view was good though but not worth the money and would not recommend

Great views over the city

James_S, Sep 2025
Arrive in enough time to check bags, get the lift and see the sunset. The Eiffel Tower sparkles after sunset on the hour

Sparkling Views!

Thomas_V, Aug 2025
A must when visiting Paris - TIP: book at night to see the sparkling Eiffel Tower. The rooftop experience is great, just misses a bar :)

nice activity

Lynne_L, Jul 2025
be careful summer camp children fill up the entire lines to go up during mid week. be patient as there is only one elevator to go up to 56th floor

Beautiful views

Laura_W, Jul 2025
Montparnasse Tower has great views of Paris. The kids really enjoyed the rooftop and there is a nice seating area to just sit back and enjoy the view. There is a quick elevator to the 56th floor observation room, but you must climb 3 flights of stairs to get to the rooftop. If you have trouble walking, as I do it’s difficult and the rooftop definitely not wheelchair accessible. It would be nice if they added an escalator.

Nice view of Paris

Jennifa_H, Jul 2025
Where the entrance is? It was a bit misleading but a nice evening out. The signage for Montparnasse were not good. Possibility more reliable ones. The locals didn’t have a clue.

Great views! Easy to...

Nicholas_T, Jul 2025
Great views! Easy to access. Missed our 8pm slot and went at 9pm and it was no problem at all if you’re running late I’d recommend going either earlier or during sunset. We went at 8pm and it was hard to see towards the Eiffel Tower because of the sun

Terrifying experience!

Emma_I, Jun 2025
We went up the 56 floors by lift, from there,we were directed to the final few steps to the outside rooftop, before we could take in the view,everyone was told to leave, ‘evacuate the rooftop as there has been a serious incident’.We had to descend the 56 flights of stairs,in the dark,as the emergency lights hadn’t come on,back to the ground floor, no direction or explanation from the staff, who looked ‘bewildered ’to say the least.we we told once downstairs to leave by the front door, again no explanation, I will be asking for a refund!!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Visitor, We are truly sorry for the situation. A fire alarm was triggered during your visit on the lower floor, and we had to evacuate the premises for everyone's safety. Please note that this was completely beyond our control, and the safety of our visitors is our top priority. We once again apologize for the inconvenience caused. Kind regards.

A nice introduction into the city

Maria_R, Jun 2025
An interesting point of view of the beautiful city. We used it as an introduction to the city, which worked well for our needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stunning Parisian Panorama – A Perfect First Stop!

Donna_B, Jun 2025
As a first-time visitor to Paris, I couldn’t have chosen a better place to begin than the Montparnasse Tower. It offers a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of the entire city — the perfect way to orient yourself before diving into Paris’s many treasures. What I especially appreciated was how each window provided clear information about the direction you’re facing and the iconic landmarks you’re seeing, such as the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, Notre-Dame, and more. It’s a calm and organized way to get a sense of the city’s layout, and incredibly helpful for getting your bearings early on. Other things that enhanced the experience: • The rooftop terrace (if the weather is good) gives you a 360° unobstructed view that’s simply unmatched. • There’s a café/bar at the top, where you can enjoy a drink or coffee while soaking in the sights — very relaxing and romantic! • The interactive displays and touchscreens inside help you dive deeper into the history and architecture of Paris. • If you go in the evening, you can watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle every hour — a truly magical sight from this vantage point. Overall, Montparnasse Tower is more than just a viewpoint — it’s a must-visit experience, especially for first-timers. I highly recommend making it your first stop in Paris. It gives you a stunning preview of all that lies ahead.

This was absolutely...

Charline_R, Jun 2025
This was absolutely incredible. We couldn't get tickets to the Eiffel Tower and the lines were excrutiatingly long. We decided to do this instead and it did not disappoint! You can see Paris in 360° and there is information about a lot of Paris landmarks while you look at it. There was a "movie screening" about the building development of Paris in year form which I loved to see. The highlight was waiting for the Eiffel Tower lights to switch on at sunset. What sight!

👏 👏 👏 👏 Brilliant

Charles_F, Jun 2025
Essential when you Visit Paris for sight seeing! The views of the city and of the Eiffel Tower was Tremendous. Sunset to 10pm when the tower Sparkles is the best

Montparnasse great views!

Jason_J, Jun 2025
Excellent view and even better at night. Everyone was great and not very long lines. Bring a jacket as it’s cooler and windy.

Save Some Cash, Go to Montmatre Area Instead

kramseyct, May 2025
Building is super old, rundown and the metro doesn't seem to be the safest area. The windows, especially on the terrace, were filthy. The views are great and it was fun to watch the sunset, but I would choose someplace else if I had it to do over. Has huge potential, but...

excellent

Riana_v, Apr 2025
Was very good and on time. we have a lovely time on montparnasse. like the view from the roof and also the chairs on the roof.

The views and information accompanying the views

Michele_P, Mar 2025
An amazing view of Paris at night, concluding a lovely evening celebrating a 21st birthday. Easy to get to and enjoyed the information via AI machines

Tour de Montparnasse

Caroline_M, Mar 2025
Amazing views of night time Paris, good value too. Went in the evening so Paris and the Eiffel Tower looked spectacular.
