No — the ticket offices still sell for same-day entry. But the stairs to the second floor are €14.80 against €23.50 for the lift, and that queue is the short one.

What it
really costs.

Four ways up, four prices. The €11.80 figure you may have seen quoted is the 12–24 youth rate, not the adult one. Two adults to the top by lift is €73.40.

The tower's own advice on when booking actually matters:

“We strongly recommend that you book as early as possible for the months of June to September, as well as school holidays and public holidays.”
