Some of Europe\u2019s most visited landmarks<\/a> are cutting their hours as a brutal heat wave strains cities built for crowds, not 104-degree Fahrenheit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Paris<\/a>, the heat upended peak tourist season, forcing the Louvre to close two hours early, the Eiffel Tower to shut ahead of schedule, and other major attractions to shorten hours or close sections, Euronews reported.<\/p>\n

The Louvre said it would close at 4 p.m. from Wednesday through Saturday, with final admissions at 2 p.m. and automatic refunds for visitors holding later reservations.<\/p>\n

Under its usual schedule, the Louvre opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. on most days, with a late closing at 9 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays. The museum says it received nine million visitors in 2025, roughly 25,000 per day on average.<\/p>\n

Tourists still lined up outside the iconic museum, as visitors shielded themselves with parasols and umbrellas. Far fewer guests lingered outside to admire the Louvre\u2019s glass pyramid, with many hurrying past the sun-baked plaza.<\/p>\n

The Eiffel Tower\u2019s reduced hours cut into a summer schedule that normally runs well into the night. During peak season, the monument is typically open from 9 a.m. until 12:45 a.m., but it closed to visitors at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, with last entries at 12:15 p.m., Reuters reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The decision affected one of the world\u2019s busiest paid landmarks<\/a>. The tower\u2019s operator said more than 6.75 million people visited its upper levels in 2025.<\/p>\n

Swimmers sought refuge in the Trocad\u00e9ro fountain, which sits across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower and is a popular viewing spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The disruption also hit schools, with France closing 845 of them on Monday and allowing students at roughly 1,800 others to leave early, AFP reported via Euronews.<\/p>\n

“Remember to protect yourself from the sun<\/a> and stay hydrated,” the Eiffel Tower website says. “Water fountains are available in the walkways leading to the plaza.”<\/p>\n

Travel was also disrupted in other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n

London’s Changing of the Guard ceremony was scaled back because of the extreme temperatures, while Florence’s Uffizi Gallery temporarily halted ticket sales after an air-conditioning malfunction, Reuters reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, train operators reduced service. About one in 10 trains in the Paris region were canceled over infrastructure risks, Euronews reported.<\/p>\n

Sports were disrupted as well. AP reported that French authorities canceled some outdoor sporting events, while Spain\u2019s Basque region suspended outdoor competitions.<\/p>\n

In some cases, the heat wave has become deadly. At least 48 people in France<\/a> have drowned while attempting to cool off since the heat wave began. In Spain, two elderly people died from heat-related illnesses, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists say the prolonged heat<\/a> is being driven by an “Omega block,” a weather pattern that traps hot air over the same region for several days, allowing temperatures to continue climbing.<\/p>\n

Paris sweltered through record-setting heat this week, with temperatures climbing above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, AP reported.<\/p>\n

Southern England logged its warmest June day since records began. Italy<\/a> has placed 16 cities under its highest heat alert as forecasters warn the heat could continue through the week, Reuters said.<\/p>\n

Officials continue to advise travelers to drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day, and seek air-conditioned spaces whenever possible.<\/p>\n
