How to get to the Eiffel Tower from Disneyland?

Several options are available to you. In taxi : €114 from Disneyland Paris/Chessy, direct journey in ~50 minutes. In RER A + metro : €5.80/person, but 1h15 to 1h30 with connections (RER A to Nation or Châtelet, then line 6 to Trocadéro). For a family, the taxi is much more practical.

Eiffel Tower tickets: book absolutely online
