Paris Catacombs + Eiffel Tower
This Tiqets ticket bundles timed entry and an audio guide to the Paris Catacombs with reserved entrance to the Eiffel Tower’s first and second floors by lift, from around €85 per person. A summit upgrade is offered as an add-on at extra cost. You choose separate dates for each attraction, and neither can be rescheduled once booked, so this suits travellers who already have both firmly on their list.
Few pairings in Paris sit further apart in mood than the Eiffel Tower and the Catacombs: one is the city’s best-known view, all iron lattice and open sky; the other is a quiet, cool underground ossuary holding the remains of around six million Parisians. This combined Tiqets ticket puts reserved Eiffel Tower access alongside a timed Catacombs slot in a single purchase, though the two visits happen on their own dates rather than back to back.
This guide covers exactly what the ticket includes at each site, which level of the Eiffel Tower you actually get, the logistics of visiting both, and who this combination genuinely suits.

What’s Included in the Combined Ticket
The ticket includes timed Catacombs entry with an audio guide, plus reserved Eiffel Tower entrance covering the first and second floors, reached by lift. The listing shows a summit upgrade and a live-guide option at the Eiffel Tower — check exactly what’s selected before you pay, since the standard combined ticket is for the two main floors rather than the top-level summit.
At the Catacombs, this is the standard timed entry plus audio guide, narrated in four languages, taking you down through the tunnels to the ossuary. At the Eiffel Tower, “reserved entrance” means a pre-booked slot that gets you past the general queue to the lifts up to the first and second floors — the tower’s main viewing levels. The summit, right at the top, isn’t included as standard and appears only as an optional upgrade at extra cost, so don’t assume it’s covered without checking the option you select.

Buy This TicketPairing an Underground Ossuary With Paris’s Most Famous View
The Catacombs and the Eiffel Tower are both among the most heavily booked sights in Paris, and both sell out their own timed slots independently — combining them on one ticket doesn’t merge those queues, it simply lets you buy reserved access to each under one transaction. The contrast is part of the appeal: a compressed, atmospheric hour underground followed, on a different day, by wide-open views over the whole city.
Because the two experiences are so different in pace and mood, most visitors are glad they’re on separate days rather than squeezed into one. The Eiffel Tower visit, once you include the lifts and the viewing platforms, comfortably fills an hour and a half to two hours; the Catacombs is closer to an hour. Treat this ticket as two reserved-access passes you happen to have bought together, not a single combined experience.
Getting Between the Catacombs and the Eiffel Tower
The two sites are on opposite sides of central Paris — the Eiffel Tower in the 7th arrondissement by the Champ de Mars, the Catacombs at Denfert-Rochereau in the 14th. They’re connected by métro with at least one change, so allow around 30 minutes for the journey if you do choose to visit both on the same day. Our guide to how to get to the Paris Catacombs has full directions from the main tourist areas, and the best time to visit will help you pick quieter slots at both attractions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Paris Catacombs + Eiffel Tower ticket include?
It includes timed entry and an audio guide at the Paris Catacombs, plus reserved entrance to the Eiffel Tower’s first and second floors by lift. A summit upgrade and other add-ons appear as optional extras on the listing, so review what’s included before checkout if you want to reach the very top.
Which floors of the Eiffel Tower are included?
The standard ticket covers the first and second floors, accessed by lift rather than the stairs. The summit, the tower’s highest public level, is not included as standard and is offered only as a paid upgrade, so check this carefully if reaching the top matters to you.
How much does the combined ticket cost?
It runs from around €85 per person for the standard first-and-second-floor option. Adding the summit upgrade or other extras will increase the price, and rates can vary by date, so check the live total at checkout.
Can I visit both attractions on the same day?
You can, since both sites are central and connected by a roughly 30-minute métro journey, but the ticket does not require it — you choose a separate date for each attraction at booking. Given the Eiffel Tower alone can take up an hour and a half, many visitors prefer to split the two across different days.
Is the Catacombs audio guide included?
Yes. The Catacombs half of the ticket includes the standard audio guide, available in four languages, which guides you through the tunnels to the ossuary. There is no live guide included on the Catacombs side of this ticket.
Does “reserved entrance” at the Eiffel Tower mean skip-the-line?
It means a pre-booked, timed slot rather than an unlimited walk-up queue, which is the main way to avoid the worst of the Eiffel Tower’s queues. You’ll still go through security, but you won’t be competing for on-the-day tickets, which at the Eiffel Tower can involve very long waits.
Can I reschedule or cancel this ticket?
No. Both the Catacombs and Eiffel Tower dates are fixed once booked, and the listing does not offer free rescheduling. Confirm your plans before purchasing, since changes aren’t guaranteed to be possible afterwards.
Is this cheaper than booking each attraction separately?
It offers a modest discount over buying the two entries apart, though the saving is not large. The bigger benefit for most people is convenience — one purchase covering reserved access to both sights — rather than a dramatic price cut.
Who is this ticket best for?
It suits travellers who already plan to visit both the Eiffel Tower and the Catacombs and want reserved, timed access to each without managing two separate bookings. If you’re undecided on the Eiffel Tower’s summit, book the standard combined ticket and add the summit upgrade separately if you change your mind.
