Tour Montparnasse

A 59 story skyscraper with an 360 degree observation deck on top. I went in the daytime with my girlfriend at around 13:30, on a Friday. The queue was short and buying tickets was easy (adult tickets, 18 euros). After going through security, the lift took only 38 seconds. Not that you would know stood inside it. At the top of the lift, there is an inside viewing area which houses a gift shop and a cafe with a panoramic view. I can imagine the city looking good from inside if the weather wasn’t too good. We then climbed a few sets of stairs to get to the observation deck, I’m not sure whether there was a lift for disabled access or not. The view on the top was breathtaking and you could see all the main attractions. There were telescopes and helpful notices showing the names and locations of each landmark. I bet the view at night would have been incredible as well, so we’ll definitely be going up again (With a glass of something sparkly, which they also sell on the observation deck). This is definitely one to add to the list!

A very good place to visit. Amazing view above Paris. Very easy to get there. In Paris we could easily use public transport so from the Eiffel tower we took the local bus to get there. It was only 15 minutes and the bus ticket was 2 €/person.

An alternative option to view the city as well as the Eiffel Tower at a lower cost. 59 story new age tower in Montparnasse District, cost was 25 Euro w Paris Pass discount. Beverages such as beer & wine were much cheaper than expected, very fair. We were up for the evening lights of the city. Very pretty with so many landmarks and sights to view from a great vantage point. Highly recommend if in Paris!

Tour Montparnasse is somewhat of an hidden gem as it features one of the best views in town and is significantly less crowded than most of the 'major' spots in Paris. While the cost is 17 euros (they have discounts for kids, students and seniors and also feature a slightly expensive all day ticket) I think its worth every cent. The 360 degree view is awesome and seeing the sunset from there it's simply magical. You can't miss this one.

We loved it here, fantastic panoramas and so much quieter than the Eiffel Tower so it was a lot easier with the kids which meant we stayed for longer while we identified all the famous buildings and landmarks in Paris. I would definitely recommend it. It hasn't got the fame factor if the Eiffel Tower, but the views are just as good and the lack of crowds makes it a more chilled experience.
