The Eiffel Tower: Iconic Views, 50% Youth Savings.
The Eiffel Tower offers a significant "Youth" discount that reduces ticket prices by 50% compared to the standard adult rate. This discount is available to everyone between the ages of 12 and 24, regardless of nationality, making it a primary way for students and young travelers to save on one of the world's most visited monuments.
Select the "Youth" rate (12–24 years) when booking your tickets on the official website. Ensure you bring a valid student card or government-issued ID to the entrance. Present your ID at the security checkpoint, where your age or student status will be verified. Enjoy access to the stairs or lifts at the reduced rate based on your chosen ticket type.
"Travel mid-week for lower ticket prices."
The cheapest way to experience the tower is by purchasing a "Stairs" ticket to the 2nd floor. Not only is the base price lower than the lift's, but your 50% Youth discount also applies to this lower price, making it the most budget-friendly option for students.
If you want to reach the very top (The Summit) but save money, choose the "Stairs + Lift" ticket. You walk to the 2nd floor and take the lift the rest of the way, which is significantly cheaper than taking the lift from the ground floor.
