Eiffel Tower Will Reopen to Public on June 25 Following Covid-19 Lockdown Lift
The Eiffel Tower, one of the most visited sites in Paris, will reopen to the public on June 25 more than three months after shuttering in France's coronavirus lockdown, its operators said Tuesday.
The 10-tonne metal landmark will emerge from its longest closure since World War II with limited visitor numbers at first, and face masks mandatory for all over the age of 11, said the Eiffel Tower website, france24.com reports.
"At first, only visits by the stairs will be available," and not by elevator, it said, as a means of ensuring a safe distance between people to limit infection risk.
"To ensure that ascending and descending visitors do not meet in the stairs, ascent will take place from the East pillar and descent by the West pillar," added the website, with a limited number of visitors per floor at a time.
"We strongly encourage our visitors to opt for online ticket purchase, in order to avoid the wait at the Tower's ticket offices'', Eiffel Tower website said.
