In 2026, The Tower’s Vertigo is back for a second season at the Eiffel Tower. The bridge will remain open until 3 May and is accessible for free to all who have an entrance ticket for what might well be France’s most well-known monument.
Although it has been around since 1889, the Eiffel Tower still manages to wow its visitors with its views and a selection of new(er) experiences, continuously giving people yet another reason to revisit the monument.
After a successful first season, a mesh suspension bridge called The Tower’s Vertigo is back until 3 May 2026. The 40-metre-long construction spans from the Eiffel Tower’s east tower to the west tower at a height of 60 metres above ground. The bridge was made out of some 25,000 mesh panels – with a resistance of over 30,000 kg/m² – by the specialised company Arboricorde and is the highest suspension bridge in France in an urban setting.
Although not everyone will feel up to the task, The Tower’s Vertigo is accessible free of charge to all Eiffel Tower ticket holders. While visiting, daredevils can book the experience on-site on the first floor using a QR code located near the attraction. However, access is not guaranteed beforehand, especially during busy times, as only 4 people are allowed on the structure at the same time. Visitors will then need to choose a time slot within the next 60 minutes and are then expected to present themselves with the ticket received by mail at the entrance of the attraction line, exactly at the time of their slot.
The bridge is open to children ages 3 and up, although children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Running or jumping is not allowed, and visitors must follow the instructions given on-site by the teams of Arbotopia, operating the attraction. For obvious reasons, the bridge is not recommended for people suffering from severe vertigo. As it is only accessible by stairs, it is not accessible to those with reduced mobility. Moreover, strollers, suitcases, food, drinks, and high heels are not allowed on the bridge.
Although 60 metres might seem like a lot, the bridge is indeed located on the Eiffel Tower’s first and lowest floor. The second floor comes in at 116 metres, while the top floor, with its Champagne bar, stands 276 metres tall.
