Tour Montparnasse – Information on Admission Prices, Tickets, Opening Hours, Waiting Times, and More Tips

If you are planning a visit to Paris, a tour of the Tour Montparnasse is a must. Standing 210 meters tall, this skyscraper offers breathtaking views of the city, making it one of the most important tourist attractions in Paris.

But it's not just the view from the tower that's impressive; the building's modern design also attracts many visitors. The Tour Montparnasse was built between 1969 and 1972 and is the tallest building in Paris. Originally controversial for its modern design, the tower has become an important symbol of the city.

Inside the tower, there are not only observation decks, but also offices, shops, and restaurants. The fast elevators take visitors to the observation deck in just 38 seconds, where they can enjoy a unique view of Paris and its attractions. For both tourists and locals alike, the Tour Montparnasse is an impressive architectural masterpiece that is a must-visit. You should take the opportunity to climb the tower and enjoy the 360-degree view of Paris from above.
