Situated in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the tower of Tour Montparnasse in the south of Paris takes at least a few hours to visit and offers one of the best views that the city has to offer.

Tall and might above the Parisian skyline, it’s hard to miss Montparnasse Tower rising up above all other buildings around. Here’s your guide on how to visit Tour Montparnasse rooftop terrace, as well as travel tips and things to know before you go.

Editor’s note: If you’re in a rush, then you might consider booking a Montparnasse Tower rooftop ticket here in advance .

Where is Tour Montparnasse located?

A history of montparnasse tower, what to know before visiting tour montparnasse, how to visit tour montparnasse, france travel information.

Tour Montparnasse is in the Montparnasse district of the city, an area which straddles the 14th and 15th arrondissements .

The closest metro station is Montparnasse-Bienvenüe, which is something of a meeting point for metro lines and can be found on the 4th, 6th, 12th, and 13th metro lines. Indeed, the station is the 4th busiest metro station in Paris.

The tower is close to a number of small boutiques, patisseries, a branch of the Galeries Lafayette chain, and Cemetery Montparnasse (which also happens to be the final resting place of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre).

Although Tour Montparnasse is often overlooked in favour of other viewpoints such as the  Arc de Triomphe  and  the Eiffel Tower , the tower remains one of the best spots in the city for viewing its many major monuments.

Though I personally regard the Tour Montparnasse to be one of the ugliest buildings in Paris, it must be said that it does offer one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Paris. The tower itself was constructed in 1969 to 1973.

When it was constructed, Tour Montparnasse was the tallest building in France, and this remained the case right up until 2011 when it was surpassed by the Tour First. With this being said, Montparnasse remains the tallest skyscraper in Paris outside of the La Défense (business district) of the city.

The majority of the building is taken up by office space. There are 59 floors in total, with the touristic part of the construction taking up the upper three floors.

The 56th floor houses a restaurant called Le Ciel de Paris, while the roof has a rooftop terrace which offers a 360 degree panoramic view of the French capital.

I’ve been up the tower twice (the first time I went up the tower was when I first moved to Paris and so I couldn’t really appreciate where all of the monuments were) . Both times I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of queue that iI was greeted by upon arrival.

Neither time was at all like the throngs of people queuing for tickets in the tunnel under the Arc de Triomphe or the three hour long wait to walk up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. After purchasing tickets, you are whisked into a lift that takes just 38 seconds to reach over 50 floors up. 

The lift doors open and you are three levels (six half flights of stairs) below the viewing platform. This floor offers panoramic views over the city and is equipped with a reasonably priced cafe (2 euro for a long coffee- perfect for after you’ve nearly frozen your nose off on the rooftop viewing platform).

Although the lower level has good views, nothing compares to climbing up the concrete stairs and emerging into the open air, only to be greeted with 360 degree panoramic views of Paris. Just make sure you bring a coat as it gets pretty windy on top of the tower!

The people below look like ants and the monuments, like toys. There is nothing quite like being up high, spotting all of the Parisian monument from afar. The best time of the day to visit is definitely sunset when the light hits La Defense and the Eiffel Tower.

The Montparnasse Tower rooftop terrace is known officially as the Montparnasse Tower Panoramic Observation Deck and is open every day. With this being said, sometimes the tower is privatised and so you should be sure to check in advance before heading to the 15th arrondissement.

The Tower is open on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays : from 11am to 10:30pm, with the last climb at 10pm. Meanwhile, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays*, Saturdays: from 11h to 23h30, with the last climb at 23h.

While the 56th floor is accessible via elevator, the rooftop terrace on the 59th floor can only be accessed on foot via a three floor climb . Purchase your Montparnasse Tower rooftop ticket here in advance .

France uses the Euro (€)

The main language spoken in France is French . Though you can get by with English is more touristic places, it’s always a good idea to learn some of the local language. Bring along a simple phrasebook like this one to help make your travels easier.

The capital of France is Paris . For more information and inspiration, check out our best Paris travel tips.

France uses plug types, types C and E. As such, if you’re travelling from the UK, USA, Canada, and many other destinations, you’ll need to buy an adapter. I recommend buying  a universal travel adapter  that you can use for multiple destinations (rather than buying a new adaptor for each place you visit).

As one of the most popular destinations in the world, you should always consider booking your accommodation well ahead of time. Check out this website for price comparison details and detailed reviews.

Be careful with your belongings. I also highly advise to avoid wearing a backpack and to instead opt for a crossbody bag  like these ones .  I personally use a crossbody bag  by this brand  and love its shape, size, and versatility.

Une journée pas trop chaude, plutôt au printemps ou durant l’automne, est également à privilégier, afin d’éviter la brume de chaleur qui estompe l’horizon.

Pourquoi visiter la tour Montparnasse

Tour Montparnasse vue depuis la tour Eiffel

La tour Montparnasse, qui s’élève à une hauteur de 209 mètres , est le gratte-ciel le plus élevé de la capitale.

La majorité de l’édifice est réservé à des bureaux d’entreprises.

Mais en haut de la tour Montparnasse, une partie est ouverte au public, offrant un panorama à 360° unique sur Paris et ses environs, avec une visibilité d’environ 40 kilomètres par temps clair !

Pour faire l’ascension de la tour, vous profiterez d’un ascenseur express direct, vous menant au 56e étage en seulement 38 secondes, à la vitesse de 5 mètres/seconde !

De plus, la tour Montparnasse est le meilleur endroit pour admirer… la tour Eiffel !

Et oui, la vue depuis le sommet de la tour Eiffel , c’est bien, mais on ne voit pas cette dernière, puisqu’on est dessus (logique hein !) 🙂

tour Montparnasse de nuit

Et comme la tour Montparnasse n’arbore pas une esthétique des plus agréable (traduction souris = elle est moche), le meilleur endroit pour ne pas la voir reste encore la tour elle-même !

Petite histoire de la tour Montparnasse

Après de fortes critiques à l’encontre de ce projet de construction controversé, André Malraux (1901-1976), alors ministre de la Culture, donne son approbation à la construction de la tour Montparnasse en 1968.

tour Montparnasse

En 1969, la décision est prise d’intégrer un centre commercial ainsi que des infrastructures modernes, conformément aux souhaits du président Georges Pompidou (1911-1974).

Le chantier de construction de la tour Montparnasse était, pour son époque, d’une envergure colossale !

Il débute par le déblaiement de 420.000 mètres cubes de gravats. Ensuite, pour assurer la stabilité de la tour, 56 piliers en béton armé sont enfoncés à une profondeur de 70 mètres sous terre.

tour Montparnasse vue depuis le Luxembourg

Cette construction devait non seulement supporter le poids de la tour, sur un sol constitué de calcaire, de craie et d’argile, ce qui constituait un défi majeur en termes de construction.

Mais elle devait aussi préserver la station de métro Montparnasse-Bienvenüe de la ligne 6.

Et oui, la station de cette ligne se situe pile dans l’axe du noyau de la tour, enveloppée dans un cocon de béton armé !

La tour Montparnasse en chiffres

La tour Montparnasse pèse 150.000 tonnes (je me sens légère en fait…)

À son inauguration en 1973, la tour atteint une hauteur de 210 mètres, ce qui en fait le plus haut immeuble de bureaux d’Europe. Elle a conservé ce titre pendant près de vingt ans, jusqu’en 1990…

tour montparnasse miranda

La tour Montparnasse n’occupe plus que la deuxième place dans le classement des immeubles les plus hauts de France.

Elle a en effet été dépassée par la tour First, haute de 231 mètres et située à La Défense !

Elle est composée de 58 étages, équipée de 25 ascenseurs, et elle occupe une superficie totale de 90.000 mètres carrés. Plus de 6000 personnes travaillent chaque jour sur ses 53 étages de bureaux.

Les ascenseurs sont conçus pour une durée d’ascension de la tour Montparnasse de moins de 40 secondes , à la vitesse de 6 mètres/seconde ! Elle a été légèrement réduite depuis…

Avec une façade de 40.000 mètres carrés, l’immeuble compte également 1306 marches et 7200 fenêtres ! Une pensée pour les laveurs de carreaux…

Maintenant que vous avez ces chiffres en tête, nous pouvons passer à la visite de la tour Montparnasse !

Que voir au sommet de la tour Montparnasse

Vous pouvez accéder aux deux derniers étages de l’édifice, nommés l’observatoire panoramique de la tour Montparnasse :

  • 56e étage : Il abrite un bar-restaurant offrant une vue imprenable sur la tour Eiffel, où vous pouvez vous restaurer tout en admirant la « skyline » de Paris
  • 59e étage : le sommet de la tour Montparnasse offre une immense terrasse d’observation de 800 m², avec une vue panoramique spectaculaire sur tout Paris, et ses monuments emblématiques

La visite de ces étages offre une expérience inoubliable, en particulier au coucher du soleil .

Vous aurez la possibilité de capturer des vues exceptionnelles de Paris depuis le sommet de la tour Montparnasse !

C’est dans la grande salle vitrée du 56e étage que j’ai passé le plus de temps ! Et oui, vive la clim’ par temps de canicule !

Mais il y a aussi beaucoup plus d’espace pour circuler que sur le rooftop !

vue depuis le 56e étage de la tour Montparnasse

Si le 56e étage offre une vue panoramique à 360°, une partie est réservée au restaurant (chic et cher !). Il faut donc revenir sur ses pas, l’espace étant divisé en deux.

La vue à l’ouest

Je vous propose de débuter la visite panoramique de la tour Montparnasse par l’ouest ! C’est que je suis une souris souvent à l’ouest, hum.

Évidemment, qui dit ouest dit aussi soleil dans la face coucher de soleil ! 🙂

Mais c’est surtout par là que vous pourrez admirer la tour Eiffel ! Après tout, c’est bien l’intérêt de grimper au sommet de la tour Montparnasse : pouvoir admirer la dame de fer ! 😉 

vue sur la tour Eiffel depuis la tour Montparnasse

C’est encore mieux avec les illuminations, bien sûr !

A deux pas de la tour Eiffel, petit zoom sur le centre culturel russe , dominant la Seine de ses bulbes (au grand dam de certains !)

Remarquez le palais de Tokyo  derrière, abritant le musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, et encore derrière, le palais Galleria , ou musée de la mode. 😉

On admire également l’hôtel des Invalides , son dôme couvert de feuilles d’or, et son esplanade, prolongée sur la Seine par le superbe pont Alexandre III !

La vue au nord

Remontons un peu au nord !

vue plein nord depuis la tour Montparnasse

Depuis la tour Montparnasse, on profite d’une vue plongeante sur la rue très commerçante rue de Rennes , dans l’axe de la tour. Puis sur le Louvre , Tuileries , la butte Montmartre , et encore plus au nord le stade de France .

Bon, il vaut mieux avoir un gros zoom pour bien voir… Heureusement la souris est équipée, avec un bon appareil photo ! 😉

vue au nord depuis la tour Montparnasse

Toujours avec mon zoom, j’ai pu remarquer l’ Opéra Garnier , l’ église de la Madeleine , le Centre Pompidou …

Tuileries et Opéra Garnier vus depuis la tour Montparnasse

Notez bien sûr l’église Saint-Sulpice, le palais de justice (en travaux) sur l’île de la Cité, et Notre-Dame , encore en travaux !

Saint-Sulpice, tour Saint-Jacques, Centre Pompidou depuis la tour Montparnasse

Plus à l’est, nous apercevons également le jardin du Luxembourg , le Panthéon , le Val-de-Grâce , et le jardin des plantes.

Au nord-est, plus loin, notez le cimetière du Père-Lachaise , un des plus grands espaces verts de Paris, et oui !

La vue à l’est

Cette fois, cap plein est !

vue de l'est de Paris depuis la tour Montparnasse

Nous apercevons en contrebas le cimetière du Montparnasse . Voyez comme il est grand !

cimetière du Montparnasse

Dans l’axe, outre les boulevards et les buildings, nous remarquons une vaste étendue verte. Il s’agit du bois de Vincennes , dont le rocher du zoo de Paris se démarque à l’horizon.

La vue au sud

Passons désormais à la vue plein sud ! Bon, je dois avouer que ce n’est pas là qu’on admire le plus de monuments emblématiques…

vue au sud de la tour Montparnasse

Au pied de la tour, nous voyons surtout les immeubles encadrant la gare Montparnasse, bien moches !

Au-dessus des voies ferrées, pile dans l’axe, notez le jardin de l’Atlantique (dommage pour les reflets de la vitre…).

jardin de l'Atlantique Paris

Voyez aussi la place de Catalogne , œuvre de l’architecte Ricardo Bofill (un catalan, donc !), en travaux de « végétalisation » (c’est à la mode !), et la place de Séoul , accolée, qui abrite un jardin.

place de Catalogne et place de Séoul

Au 56e étage, vous trouverez également une vidéo de quelques minutes retraçant l’histoire de Paris en image. Elle montre l’évolution de la ville et ses différentes constructions.

Des bornes de réalité virtuelle permettent également de faire des sauts en arrière dans le temps, en rapport avec la vue !

Le café du 56e étage de la tour Montparnasse

J’ai profité du café du 56e étage de la tour Montparnasse pour faire une petite pause repas en attendant que la ville lumière s’illumine ! Les prix ne sont pas forcément doux, sans être astronomiques non plus.

Bref, c’est à l’image du quartier !

bar tour Montparnasse

Pause également après ma visite en attendant de pouvoir redescendre ! (car toutes les deux heures, une pause s’impose !)

En effet, bon nombre de visiteurs veulent profiter des illuminations et repartent ensuite tous en même temps.

Sachant que le nombre d’ascenseurs directs est limité, il faut donc faire la queue.

Vue depuis le rooftop de la tour Montparnasse (59e étage)

Voilà, après avoir fait le tour du 56e étage, il est temps de grimper les 3 (petits) étages qui vous mèneront tout au sommet !

Attention : pas d’ascenseur !

escaliers sommet tour Montparnasse

J’ai pour ma part effectué l’ascension deux fois (motivée la souris avec ses petites pattes…), une fois à la fin de l’heure dorée, et une autre fois pour voir les monuments commençant à s’éclairer !

Sachez cependant que la vue n’est pas forcément la plus optimale !

sommet tour Montparnasse

Pour éviter les chutes d’objets (ou de personnes…), tout est là encore vitré, avec juste quelques espaces par ci par là pour glisser un smartphone ou un appareil photo.

Pas simple dans ces conditions de vraiment en profiter ! Surtout que l’espace étant plus restreint qu’en bas, tout le monde est plus ou moins agglutiné pour le fameux selfie.

Hélas, il n’y a même pas la place pour ma tête de souris !

tour Montparnasse rooftop

La vue depuis la terrasse au sommet de la tour Montparnasse vaut bien sûr le coup, surtout pour éviter les reflets des vitres en soirée !

tour Montparnasse rooftop soir

Bon, vu les températures élevées, j’étais mieux au 56e étage climatisé, hum.

Avis de la souris sur la visite de la tour Montparnasse

La tour offre le second plus haut panorama de Paris après celui du troisième étage de la tour Eiffel.

S’il est un peu moins haut (210 mètres au lieu de 276), il offre une perspective assez différente, et surtout la possibilité d’admirer la tour Eiffel ! La vue est particulièrement belle quand les lumières s’allument…

Enfin, les esprits caustiques rappelleront que l’avantage d’admirer la vue de la tour Montparnasse, c’est de ne pas la voir dans le paysage parisien !

Que faire autour de la tour Montparnasse ?

A proximité de la tour Montparnasse, commencez logiquement par visiter le quartier du Montparnasse !

Après le succès de la butte Montmartre durant la Belle Époque, après la Première Guerre mondiale, les artistes privilégient ce nouveau quartier bohème de Paris.

Il en reste encore quelques villas et ateliers d’artistes rappelant cette époque foisonnante.

Dans le XIVe arrondissement, ne ratez pas un lieu insolite à visiter à Paris : les célèbres catacombes de Paris !

Et bien sûr, vous pouvez comparer la vue avec le panorama de la tour Eiffel ! 🙂

Tour Montparnasse

Mesurant 210 mètres de haut, la Tour Montparnasse offre l’une des meilleures vues sur tout Paris depuis ses hauteurs . Du haut de sa terrasse, il est possible de contempler les monuments les plus importants de Paris .

La tour hier et aujourd’hui

Inaugurée en 1973, la Tour Montparnasse a été le premier immeuble de bureaux à avoir été construit dans le centre de la ville , et a été au cœur d’une grande controverse, puisque les Parisiens estimaient que cet édifice détonnerait avec le charme architectural du quartier.    

Aujourd’hui, plus de 5 000 employés travaillent au sein des 53 étages de l’édifice , tandis que plus de 750 000 visiteurs montent chaque année jusqu’aux terrasses de l’observatoire panoramique, situées aux étages 56 et 59, afin de profiter de l’une des plus belles vues de Paris.

Un point de vue sans pareil

Après une montée express au sommet de la tour, dans l’un des ascenseurs que l’on qualifie comme l’un des plus rapides d’Europe ; au 56ème étage, vous pourrez profiter d’une impressionnante vue sur la ville, protégés par d’immenses vitres . Outre la vue imprenable, vous pourrez également en savoir davantage sur Paris à travers des installations multimédia interactives, ou encore vous plonger dans le passé de la ville en découvrant l’exposition de photos anciennes de Paris.

Les plus belles photos de la capitale peuvent être prises trois étages plus haut, au 59ème étage. Du haut de cet observatoire, il est possible d’apprécier la vue sans aucune vitre qui viendrait gâcher la qualité de vos photos.

Bien entendu, la Tour Montparnasse possède un autre avantage non négligeable  : celui de pouvoir observer la Tour Eiffel du haut de sa terrasse au dernier étage . Cette visite est donc à recommander.

  • Montparnasse Tower Visitor Guide + Tips

By: Author Emily

Posted on Last updated: November 27, 2023

For some of the very best views of Paris, make your way to the top of the one and only skyscraper in the city, Montparnasse Tower. In this post, we’ll explain the basics of visiting this observation deck, share the views you can expect to see and then wrap up with our overall thoughts on this experience compared to others in Paris.

Ready? Let’s head to the top of Montparnasse Tower.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

What is Montparnasse Tower?

Standing at 689 feet, Montparnasse Tower is the tallest building in Paris, France. It’s the second tallest structure in Paris after the Eiffel Tower. The building is primarily used as an office building, but has some commercial storefronts and an observation deck on the 56th floor.

Montparnasse Tower stands out against the Paris skyline like a sore thumb, because it’s the only skyscraper in all of Paris. The people of Paris hated it so much that two years after it was constructed in 1973, the city of Paris banned all buildings over 121 feet. (In 2010, the policy was revised to allow buildings as high as 590 feet in some areas, but none have since been built.)

While Montparnasse Tower might not be the most beautiful building to look at in Paris, it just might be the place for the best view  of Paris.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

The lone skyscraper in Paris, Montparnasse Tower, stands out on the Paris skyline. (As seen here from the Eiffel Tower.)

Where is Montparnasse Tower?

Montparnasse Tower is located in the Montparnasse neighborhood in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. The building’s address is 33 Av. du Maine, 75015 Paris, France .

You can get to Montparnasse Tower on public transportation from the Montparnasse train stop, which serves the 4, 6, 12 and 13 Metro lines. You can also walk to Montparnasse Tower from Luxembourg Gardens, which is about 15 minutes away (less than 1 mile).

Can you go to the top of Montparnasse Tower?

Yes! There is an observation deck on the 56th floor of Montparnasse Tower and an open air roof deck on the 59th floor. There is an elevator to the 56th floor, but the rooftop terrace on the 59th floor is only accessible by stairs.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

What can you see from the top of Montparnasse Tower?

Everything. You can see all of Paris from the observation deck at Montparnasse Tower. Expect views of Paris’ top attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Sacré-Cœur at the top of Montmartre, Notre Dame and more. You can see the tree-lined streets and green gardens and peep the closest skyscrapers just outside the city limits in La Défense.

Montparnasse Tower offers the highest views of Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the sightline. While you might be able to get better views of Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower , if you want the best views of the Eiffel Tower you can’t beat Montparnasse Tower.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

How much does Montparnasse Tower cost?

A ticket to the top of Montparnasse Tower is pretty reasonably priced relative to other popular Paris tourist attractions. There are two main ticket options and neither costs more than 25€ (as of 2022).

A standard ticket to the top of Montparnasse Tower includes one visit to the observation deck. You can stay as long as you like and may freely move between the indoor space and the rooftop terrace. At the time this post was published, the exact ticket prices are as follows:

  • Adults : 20€ (19€ if purchased online in advance)
  • Youth (12-17) and students : 15€
  • Children (4-11) : 8€
  • Young Children (under 4) : free (ticket required)

You can also pre-purchase a drink (beer or Champagne) with a standard ticket when you buy online in advance. This ticket option will save you 1€ on beer or 3€ on Champagne compared to purchasing the items separately on site.

The Night and Day ticket gives you the chance to visit the observation deck twice, ideally once during the day and again at night. This ticket is valid for two entries within a 48-hour period. The clock starts when you use your ticket to enter the first time.

The day/night visiting times are recommended, but not at all required or enforced. Your two visits can be at any time during a 48 hour period, so you could visit twice at night or twice during the day if you preferred.

At the time this post was published, the Night and Day ticket prices are as follows:

  • Adults : 25€
  • Youth (12-17) and students : 19€
  • Children (4-11) : 12€

How to buy Montparnasse Tower Tickets

You can buy tickets to the Montparnasse Tower observation deck online in advance or onsite at the ticket office.

If you buy your ticket online in advance, you will save 1€ for adult and youth standard tickets. It will also save you time as you can skip the queue at the ticket office and go straight in. Tickets do not typically sell out at Montparnasse Tower, but in the rare case they do, an online ticket will guarantee your entry. Mobile tickets can be scanned from your phone and do not need to be printed.

You can also purchase tickets onsite at Montparnasse Tower. The ticket office is located on the 56th floor.

When you approach the building from the northwest side, follow signs to the observation deck. You will go through security and will then be directed to the elevator to the top. After you get off the elevator, there will be an entrance for ticket holders and a queue for the ticket office.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

When is the best time to visit Montparnasse Tower?

Montparnasse Tower is open everyday from 9:30 AM to 11:30 PM. The only exception is Bastille Day (July 14th) when the tower closes early (usually 6 PM) for a ticketed event.

This means that you can see Paris from Montparnasse Tower by day or night. In daylight you’ll be able to spot all of your favorite landmarks in detail and by night you can see the City of Lights earn its name, including a stunning view of the twinkling Eiffel Tower.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

You can’t go wrong with either and the Night and Day ticket option allows you to visit twice and see the view at both times. However, if you’re interested in both views, we recommend going at sunset instead.

The best time to go to Montparnasse Tower is about one hour before sunset. Grab a drink from the open-air rooftop bar and watch the sun set over Paris. You will save a few bucks just buying a standard ticket, and you won’t have to make the trek out to the building twice.

We also suggest visiting Montparnasse Tower during the summer. The rooftop terrace is open all year, but can be quite windy. That makes it quite cold in cooler seasons, but helps keep it very pleasant in the summer. Even during a heat wave, with the breeze and the shade, we found the terrace to be quite comfortable in the summer.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

Things to do at Montparnasse Tower

It’s easy to spend a couple hours at Montparnasse Tower.

The views are the main attraction and there are two levels see them. The indoor observation deck is on the 56th floor and is served by direct elevator access. The observation deck covers most of the floor so you can look out to Paris from all angles.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

Inside there is a gift shop and a small cafe. There are some posted placards with information about the city, but for a completely interactive virtual tour you’ll want to download the free Magnicity app. There is also free wifi available.

The real highlight of Montparnasse Tower is the outdoor observation deck on the rooftop. You need to take three flights of stairs to get to the rooftop, and unfortunately there is not an elevator. The rooftop terrace is included with admission, and you don’t want to miss it.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

There are seasonal activities on the Montparnasse Tower roof deck. In the winter time, they have an entire skating rink up there. In the summer, there are games, photo ops, yoga events and more.

A portion of the roof deck is shaded, which is nice in the hot summer. There’s a rooftop bar that serves beer and champagne, and there’s plenty of seating.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

There’s also a fine dining restaurant at Montparnasse Tower, Le Ciel de Paris, that boasts the title of highest panoramic restaurant in Paris. Reservations are recommend and you can book online here .

Photos at Montparnasse Tower

The rooftop terrace at Montparnasse Tower is open air but enclosed by a metal rail fence and glass panes. The panes are separated in a way that allows you to take photos between the panes. It’s nice to not have glare or fencing in all of your photos of the view.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

We’ve been to many skyscraper observation decks, and most of them take some sort of green screen photo that is usually really bad and ridiculously expensive. At Montparnasse Tower, they do things a bit differently and offer photos through a tool called Smiler.

There are dedicated photographers available for quick, no-obligation photoshoots. They snap a handful of photos and take your phone number. They’ll send you a text later that day with a link and you can view your photos. You can buy digital downloads or hard prints if you wish. It’s free to take the photos and there is no obligation to buy.

I really liked my photos but wasn’t sure if I wanted to purchase them all or just one. I ended up putting it off a few days and eventually they sent me a 30% off coupon code. It’s worth giving that a shot if you’re on the fence.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

Is Montparnasse Tower worth it?

Yes! Montparnasse Tower was such a great, relaxing way to see Paris from above. The views are incredible, the crowds are light and the price is reasonable. I’d recommend spending an entire evening at Montparnasse watching the sun set and sipping champagne on the rooftop to just about anyone.

Very light crowds at Montparnasse Tower observation deck

Is Montparnasse Tower better than the Eiffel Tower?

This is tough. I came into it expecting to recommend Montparnasse Tower over the Eiffel Tower. That’s how much I loved the Montparnasse Tower rooftop terrace. But then I went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and there is just something about being at the top of that iconic tower that just hit a special chord.

I’ll say this. If you’re only going to do one observation deck and you have any urge to go to the Eiffel Tower, you should go to the Eiffel Tower. It’s a pain, but if you plan your Eiffel Tower visit well it can be very pleasant. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

But if you don’t have strong feelings about the Eiffel Tower and want the best view the easiest possible way, we’d recommend Montparnasse Tower instead. We went to Paris multiple times before we actually made it to the Eiffel Tower, but I would have visited Montparnasse Tower during those visits if I realized how pleasant it was.

I think the Eiffel Tower is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, while Montparnasse Tower could easily be an every-trip-to-Paris thing.

Tips for Visiting Montparnasse Tower

  • Go before Sunset. We suggest arriving about 1 hour before sunset for the best views of Paris by day and night. You will save some money on the Night & Day ticket, but mostly you’ll save the transit time if you only have to go out to the tower once.
  • Stay for a drink. If you’re looking for drinks with a view, it doesn’t get much better than the Montparnasse roof deck. Grab a beer or glass of Champagne and enjoy it on a lounge chair looking out over the Eiffel Tower. It’s the perfect night out in Paris.
  • Download the interactive app . The interactive Magnicity app is a fun way for you to learn more about the buildings and monuments you see from the top of the tower. You can actually download and use the app anytime, so you can take the view home with you.
  • Snap a few photos with Smiler. If the photographers are out, take them up on their offer to take a few group photos. It just takes a few moments and there is literally no pressure from anyone to buy them. I just did it for research, but loved my photos so much I purchased them all.
  • Take the Metro . There are a few things to do in the Montparnasse neighborhood, but most people won’t be staying in that area. It’s easy to get to the tower via public transit from most anywhere in the city as several Metro lines stop nearby.

Other Great Views of Paris

Paris is not short on places to go for great views. If you’re looking for more beautiful views of the city, these are three of our other favorite spots.

Eiffel Tower

The top of the Eiffel Tower is the highest observation deck in Paris. The views are the best in the city, but unfortunately there’s no view of the Eiffel Tower when you’re on it. While romantic and beautiful, it is known to be quite crowded, summit tickets can sell out and it’s also expensive. So be sure to plan accordingly. (Psst! We have a great Eiffel Tower planning guide if you’re heading that way.)

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

Arc de Triomphe

If you’re looking for a great view of the Eiffel Tower at a reasonable price, walk on down Champs-Élysées to Arc de Triomphe. It’s lower than other viewpoints, but it’s central location provides an epic view of central Paris, including the Eiffel Tower.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

A visit to Paris just isn’t complete without making a journey to Montmarte. Go to see the beautiful Sacré-Cœur, but stay for the sweeping views of Paris from the steps (bonus points if you enjoy the view while eating crepes). The only downside is that the Eiffel Tower is not in the sightline.

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

That bi building in the distance on the right is Montparnasse Tower

Closing Thoughts

We visited Montparnasse Tower with our toddler and had the best time. It was easy to get to, not crowded and offered some of the best open air (and air conditioned) views of Paris.

We visited during a record heat wave and really wanted something fun indoors. It was a convenient perk that the roof deck was also reasonably cool, especially in the shade. We got to spent time in both areas and it was a fantastic family evening.

That said, I was expected to easily recommend Montparnasse Tower as the definitive alternative to the Eiffel Tower, but after seeing both I’m less confident in that assessment. I loved them both, but they’re very different experiences. Honestly, both are worth a visit if you can swing it.

Have you been to the top of Montparnasse Tower? What was your experience like? Would you recommend it? Let us know in the comments.

Moscow skyline: explore the city from the rooftops

tour montparnasse rooftop horaire

1. Moscow-City tower The Empire and the Federation Towers, which are located in the new business center in the immediate vicinity of the city center, are part of the tallest complex of buildings in Russia’s capital. Standing on the high-altitude terraces of Moscow-City (Moscow International Business Center buildings) you can enjoy truly inspiring views of the Moscow River and the western part of the city.

The Sixty Restaurant - Bar (the name refers to the interior, which has been executed just like in the 1960s) on the 62 floor of the Federation tower , which makes it the highest restaurant in Europe. 

You can enjoy views of the city from a bird's eye view free of charge too – you will just have to reach the new terrace of the Empire Tower on an express elevator (the 58th floor), located at an altitude of 238 meters.

2. The Vorobyevy Gory and the main Moscow State University building One of the most popular "postcard" views of Moscow is from the observation deck of Vorobyevy Gory (Sparrow Hills). The landscape is especially beautiful on a clear day and late at night when the city lights are turned on. The capital can be seen as if it were in your hands; this is definitely the best place for gazing at the seven Stalin skyscrapers – the famous “Seven Sisters” . From the upper floors of the Moscow State University main building , you can take in an even more breathtaking panorama.

3. Time Out Bar A bar with rather affordable prices and a terrace with simply stunning views of Moscow. Time Out Bar is located on the 12th and 13th floor of a rather old hotel Beijing in the heart of the capital. This is one of my favorite places, which can be found in Moscow skyscrapers; here bartenders prefer making signature cocktails.

4. City Space – a panoramic bar City Space is the highest bar with a 360-degree view of the capital. It is located on the 34th floor of the Swiss Hotel Red Hills , and according to the 2008 Bartender's Guide, it was included in the top 10 bars in the world, and the top 50 best bars in the world by Drink International 2011. The price of one cocktail is around 900 rubles, a must drink for the capital guests is the legendary Moscow Spring Punch with ginger, raspberry and honey.

5. Ivan the Great Bell Tower You can have the possibility of seeing old Moscow from a bird’s eye view if you go up to the 80-meter bell tower of Ivan the Great – "the capital’s first skyscraper" which was built in the 16th century. The belfry is located in the heart of the city – right in the Cathedral Square , adjacent to Red Square. The exhibition is open to visitors and there is also an observation deck, which offers a wonderful view of the Kremlin's Cathedral Square and the old streets of Zamoskvorechye . You can enter with a ticket from the Kremlin Museums.

You can enjoy the view from above with a cup of coffee, which you can get close by – on the rooftop of the Ritz Carlton , where there is a cozy 02 Lounge , which offers an unforgettable view of the Kremlin. The average bill is approximately 2500 rubles.

5. The Ostankino Television Tower The Ostankino Television Tower observation deck has been open to visitors for over 40 years. During this time it has been visited by over 10 million people – from a height of 340 meters you can take a look at northern Moscow and the Moscow region. You can get to the site only as a part of a tour and preferably having booked in advance.

Duration of the tour is 1 hour, the tower is open to the public from 10.00 am to 21.00 pm. 

7. Kalina bar Located on the 21st floor of the Lotte Plaza on Novy Arbat , Kalina Bar offers visitors a panoramic view of the Moscow-City towers , hotel Ukraine , Old Arbat street , Cathedral of Christ the Savior , and many other monuments in the city center. Besides this it offers great Western and Asian cuisine with a bill of approximately 2,000 rubles.

Customer

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
