Paris tourism receives a significant upgrade at the city's most iconic landmark. The Eiffel Tower has officially opened "The Vertigo of the Tower," a 40-meter suspension bridge connecting the monument's east and west pillars.
Suspended nearly 60 meters above the ground, the fully netted walkway consists of over 25,000 mesh panels. Entry is complimentary for existing ticket holders accessing the first floor. However, capacity is strictly managed; visitors must scan an on-site QR code to reserve a time slot, limiting occupancy to four people at once.
This second season concludes on May 3. Originally built for the 1889 World's Fair as a temporary structure, the tower holds the Guinness World Record for the most visited paid monument. The new bridge provides a unique perspective distinct from the standard viewing platforms at 57, 116, and 276 meters.
