The Eiffel Tower has unveiled a new attraction offering a unique perspective, and it’s not for the faint of heart. Called Tower Vertigo, this new structure allows visitors to literally walk over a void and discover Paris from a completely new vantage point.
Suspended between the east and west pillars of the first level, this 40-meter-long walkway sits some 57-60 meters high , transforming the traditional visit into a truly unique experience. Its transparent mesh surface intensifies the feeling of weightlessness, creating a journey unsuitable for those who suffer from vertigo, but irresistible for thrill-seekers seeking unparalleled views.
The structure is composed of more than 25,000 high-strength net panels and a cable system designed to withstand both weight and weather conditions. To ensure a smooth and uncrowded experience, access is limited to just four people at a time, allowing for a more intimate and controlled crossing of the bridge.
Access to this attraction is included in the general admission to the monument and requires prior booking via a digital system: visitors must scan a QR code on the tower itself and choose a time slot. Available temporarily until May 3rd, the tour is designed to meet high tourist demand and facilitate efficient visitor flow.
The most visited paid monument in the world
Beyond this new feature, the Eiffel Tower maintains its usual offering with three levels open to visitors at 57, 116 and 276 meters high, from where you can contemplate panoramic views of the city, as well as enjoy gastronomic spaces such as the Le Jules Verne restaurant , run by chef Frédéric Anton , and the Champagne Bar at its summit.
Inaugurated in 1889 during the 1889 Universal Exposition, the Eiffel Tower remains the most visited paid monument in the world. With initiatives like this, it demonstrates its ability to adapt to new forms of tourism without losing its essence, solidifying its status as an icon that continues to amaze millions of visitors each year.
