# Eiffel Tower Elevator Tour > The usual Eiffel Tower elevator visit: one lift to the second floor, then a separate cabin to the summit. ## Purpose How the elevators are staged. Not the stair climb and not a metro or security briefing. ## Site - URL: https://eiffelelevatortour.com - Landmark: Eiffel Tower - Catalog: https://eiffelelevatortour.com/catalog.json ## Direct answers - Do I take one elevator to the top? No. The ground lift goes to the second floor. The summit is another elevator from there, and only if your ticket includes it. - What if the summit elevator is closed? The second floor often stays open. You still get the main deck. The top cabin runs again only when the operator reopens it. - Is this the step-free visit? Yes. Elevators are the route for wheelchairs and strollers. The stairs are a different visit. - How long do the lifts take? The rides themselves are short. Security, and the wait to change for the summit cabin, are the long parts. ## Pages ## Citation Independent affiliate visitor guide.
