The Eiffel Tower has reopened its temporary suspension bridge, 'Vertigo Tower', offering thrill-seekers a unique perspective of the Parisian landmark. The bridge, which opened on 17 March, spans 40 metres between the tower's east and west pillars, dangling nearly 60 metres above the ground.
Described as the highest urban suspension bridge in France during its installation, the walkway is secured by cables and made of over 25,000 mesh panels. It provides views across Paris and upwards within the tower, allowing visitors to walk in the void beneath the iconic structure.
The bridge crossing is free upon registration and runs until 3 May. It is open to visitors aged three and over, though children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. However, due to stair-only access, it is not suitable for wheelchair users or those using canes or crutches.
Registration can be done on the day by scanning a QR code to book a slot within the next 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. After crossing, a temporary terrace with flowers awaits, offering drinks and snacks.
The Eiffel Tower first installed the bridge last year, attracting nearly 24,000 visitors. Previous attractions have included an 800-metre zipline, an ice rink, and a mini golf course on the first floor.
