#1 attraction in Paris. Definitely a must see. Whether you go up or get some amazing photo outside. Always a good Pic with an amazing background.
How can you come to Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower... I mean so cool. I really don't understand why you're looking at reviews for this place honestly, it's just somewhere you just have to go see while you're here. To put it most generally it's a big monument that looks like a caged tower and it sparkles at night!
Overview: a classic, must-see landmark in Paris ---- Very beautiful landmark and prettier if you see it light up at night. The tower only sparkles when it's dark enough outside to see it. When it's the spring/summer the sun sets very late at night so when I was there, the Eiffel Tower first sparkled at 10pm! We didn't know that, so we arrived around 8pm and waited 2 hours. It then started to rain and we shared one umbrella between 4 people. There are lots of people walking around trying to sell you stuff can be very annoying especially if you came there early and they keep asking you. They walk around with small trinkets, some with drinks like wine, blankets, and even umbrellas when it started to rain. There are lots of people on the grassy field in front of the tower having picnics and waiting for the tower to light up as well. The walk from the metro wasn't too long, but also wasn't that short, but it's Paris so be prepared to walk for everything! It beautiful and was worth the walking, waiting, and being rained on. ---- Overall: beautifully lit up at the beginning of the hour after the sun goes down, for us it was at 10pm! Be prepared to walk and wait, enjoy the views and atmosphere with others waiting to see the pretty lights
Landmark in Paris, France... I've visited this famous piece of architecture a few times before I knew about Yelp. Back in 2000, I was here with my former co-worker. She didn't want to visit because there was a bomb threat. I told her that it's just a threat. How many miles and hours did we fly to just stay in the hotel room? She ended up walking outside with me... LOL! Our friend dropped us off this time to just get photos. He and his wife drove around the block and picked us up in-between stops. Parking is quite the challenge here! Be on your best behavior... some guards with guns marched past us!
THE GOOD ---------------- + SPECTACULAR and breath-taking 360 degree view of the entireeeeeee city of Paris! No part of Paris is unseen from here. + Different options for visiting the tower - (1) visit the base for free (2) pay to take the lift/walk up to the 2nd floor (3) pay to take the lift allllllll the way to the top - BUT, EVERYONE needs to go through the security checkpoint. No exceptions. + Worth every penny to visit the top of the tower to view the city! Don't just take photos outside or in front of the tower. Go for the full experience! THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - If you have accessibility needs or have a stroller, unfortunately, you will need to go up some steps before you reach the elevators to take you further up the tower. Not a lot steps, but definitely a few staircases. - If you buy tickets the day of your visit, waits can reach 1-2 hours, so try to buy them beforehand if you can! MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = As expected, it gets busy on the different levels, especially the higher ones, but it's not THAT bad. It's typical tourist attraction crowds.
I had a 3 pm reserved ticket To The Top and arrived 30 minutes early. I'm glad I did because they were running behind schedule. Once On Top I was almost 1,000 feet above ground and the views were dramatic. One level is fully enclosed behind large windows and the level above is open air with large metal screens for protection. That day the wind was calm so it was very pleasant to be on that level. On the open air level you can buy a glass of champagne and macarons to celebrate if you wish. Above you the tower rises for about another 100 feet for radio antennas, etc. It costs extra to go To The Top and it is worth it. If you do, go there first and then work your way down to the 2nd and then 1st levels. You can only access The Top by elevator. The 2nd level (400 feet) and 1st level (200 feet) are accessible by elevator and stairway. Remember it's much easier going downhill than uphill. By the way, the stairs are open air but enclosed with metal screens making it impossible for you to fall off. If you are on the 1st level and want to exit it is faster to do so by stairs rather than waiting on the elevator. There are upscale restaurants on the 1st and 2nd levels and there are chairs that you can sit on and enjoy the view. Actually, the famous French landmarks are better seen from the 2nd level than The Top. There are 2 Metro stations within less than 10 minute walking distance to the Tower so getting here is easy. It amazes me that this HUGE landmark was originally designed to be a temporary structure only, They were suppose to take it down but decided it was too popular.
I can't believe I'm finally standing in front of the Eiffel Tower! It's just as beautiful as I imagined it! And apparently at night they have it all lit up!
I could not let my first trip to Paris go by without visiting the Eiffel Tower. I mean, it's a structure that is engrained in history and pop culture, and synonymous with the city of Paris. That being said, I decided to research the different types of visits that the tower offered and plan my visit. The tower offers several ways to climb it - tickets are available to either the first/second floor as well at the summit. If you choose the former, you can then choose to climb it via stairs or lift; if you choose to go to the summit then a lift is your only option. Tickets sell out rather quickly online, but you can also try to purchase them in person. Nevertheless, I don't like leaving things up to chance so I purchased what was available to me online - tickets to the first/second floor via stairs. It's about 600 or so stairs to make it to the second floor of the tower. Along the way, there's a stop on the first floor where you can take pictures; there's also some seating areas as well as a cafe. The second floor repeats this, though there is also a gift shop here. They also have fun facts about the tower scattered throughout as well as plenty of view points. Personally, I thought the views from the first/second floor were high enough - I was snapping away. As far as the tower itself, it's definitely a sight to see in person - massive and intricately structured, I found myself just staring at it multiple times. My only regret (if you can call it) is not seeing at night up close, this is definitely something I would want to do my next time in Paris. Overall though, the Eiffel Tower is definitely worth checking out at least one during your Paris adventures.
La Tour Eiffel or the Eiffel Tower is one of the most landmarks in the world, and it is truly an iconic symbol of the French city line. When you're close to the tower, the photos aren't as beautiful as when you take a photo with the tower in the background. A few spots that are great to take photos with the Eiffel tower is from Trocadero or the bridge at Pont D'Iena for a straight short or at the bridge at Pont De l'Alma for a diagonal shot. We got to enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower on multiple occasions as we explored the city. We witness its' charm from the day light hours and at night. We discovered that the tower sparkles at night on the hour for 5 minutes. One night we noticed it sparkled from 9:00-9:05pm and then our theory was confirmed when we saw it sparkle again from 11:00-11:05pm. What a treat! I recommend making time to visit both during the morning and at night. The Eiffel Tower is stunning and I feel like the day and the night has different charms to it.
Wow The Eiffel Tower is amazing but to see it in person is just incredible. It is even more amazing in person and fascinating as well. The tower was completed in 1889. There were many who were opposed of it being built but now the tower is adored. We purchased ticket hubby and I to the Summer which is the very top and we were just amazed at the beauty of the tower and of Spain ! Now it does get very crowded and you do get a bit crammed but otherwise anyone visiting Paris must come see the Eiffel Tower
When in Paris, you must visit the Eiffel Tower, both during the daytime and at night! The structure is massive close-up! At night if you take a boat ride along the Seine River, you'll get to see the tower pretty close-up and brightly lit. It's quite mesmerizing.
Is it touristy? Yes. Is it crowded? Yes. Is it worth it? YES!!!! My 4th time being in Paris and still love seeing this beautiful metal art piece. During the day... it's magnificent. During the night... ohhhh it's spectacular! I didn't go up this time, went in 2015... the view is beautiful but you do get better city view from Galleries de Lafayette rooftop. You can see the Eiffel Tower from plenty of hotels... so be sure to time it right... and watch the sparkle at 8pm, 9pm, 10pm, 11pm... it only sparkles for 5 minutes... so be ready!
As sad as it is, whenever I think about the Eiffel tower I can't help but think about Franz Reichelt. He was a French tailor and inventor and in 1912 he jumped off the first platform of the Eiffel to test a homemade, wearable parachute. You can imagine how that went. However, I have the utmost respect for Franz. You can't knock the hustle. Bro was really about that life and had an unparalleled self belief, rivaled only by Vegeta. A moment of silence for big Franz please.............................. My gf and I came to the Eiffel Tower, not to jump off, but with a baguette and a bottle of red wine like the good little tourists we are. I was draped in a red beret and a 80% cashmere scarf that I had picked up from a tourist stand nearby for 8 euro. It was at this moment I realized that if I ever needed to go into the witness protection program I could blend in out here pretty easily... We drank our wine and ripped into the baguette, and had a nice little moment. It's nice to just press pause every now and then and appreciate moments. My girlfriend ended up keeping this cork, attached a magnet to it, and hung it on the fridge. Beast... gonna start keeping corks like this from all major life events and moments. I sat there, half a bottle of red wine deep, thinking "damn bro really jumped off that and thought he would be good... talk about betting on yourself. He has all my respect." RIP FRANZ! GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

She is stunning!! The Eiffel Tower has been in my bucket list forever and I am so happy I get to see her up-close. The first sight of her made my heart jumped and almost brought me to tears. She is so beautiful in the morning and especially when she's lit up at night. If she's in your bucket list, please visit this magnificent tower, she will not disappoint you. Worth every penny I may say. She's not only 5 stars, she's a perfect 10!! read more

You're crazy if you come to Paris and don't visit the Eiffel Tower. My first impression of La Tour Eiffel was that it was smaller than I pictured but it was also pretty unforgettable. The day I went, it was super rainy, and I waited in line for over an hour and a half. I really wanted to get tickets to the all the way to the top and right as I was the next customer, they closed it down. It seemed like it was just one wrong thing after the other. The moment I actually got in the tower, everything bad just kind of disappeared. Here I am, on the actual Eiffel tower, I did all kinds of projects on it for French class and voila, je suis ici! It's definitely one of the things I'll never forget in my life and the view is just incredible, whether the weather was rainy or not. I did hear from other people that went that the top doesn't even really change anything, you're just in a tiny place with a lot of people and you're looking out a window. Regardless, the view from where I was, was breathtaking and it was all worth it in end. My tip is that if you don't want to be in line, buy the tickets ahead of time and when you're actually up there in the tower, take a moment, breathe, and enjoy the view! Je t'aime Paris! read more
Who'd of thought I would one day come to this beautiful city and experience the beautiful Eiffel Tower, not one but several times in the week. At first I wasn't quite sure about the magic of the Eiffel tower, but once I was able to see it up close and experience it the way I did, I knew that I was wrong about how splendid it really is and how it makes people feel. I saw so many people who just were so awestruck at its significance and presence. So many people just walking and holding hands while still enjoying the spark of what the Eiffel tower meant. I guess it could be the same feeling as one gets with our own Lady Liberty, but of course that was a gift from France so the same feeling could be felt. I saw it a couple of times in one week and I was very happy I did. From the night view, you get to experience a whole new realm of the tower, with its beautiful flashing lights and mesmerizing shape, the night air adds to the flavor of what the tower signifies, well at least to me it did. So many foreigners everywhere enjoying this view, from atop the highest peak of the Paris churches, to standing up near it. Wow, is all I can say. I went right under the tower and wondered just how many people seriously stood in my shoes over the many years that the tower had been up. Just such a pleasure to be able to see what I saw that day, with its many street vendors selling items, to the food stands in the outlying area. I was humbled by the people and their kindness but I was seriously happy with the way everyone was just in a happy mood, considering I'm from the US and that is hard to come by lately, but I digress. I will say this, if you come to Paris, do not miss the opportunity to see the tower. It is an absolute must just like its a must to have a macaroon! There are things that one must do mind you, and that is learn to speak a few kind words in French, as the people of the land smile kindly to that. And it makes for a special kind of experience. Viva la France, and I will be back in August! read more

Visited Paris for the first time and my family and I made sure that we get our chance of a lifetime and we did. We booked the Eiffel Tower tour with Lunch with the 58 tour de Eiffel. Food & Champagne was great with Trocadero View seating. Right after lunch we got the chance to climb the Eiffel Tower with over 600 steps and made it to the top!!! Loved every moment of it, it was a dream come true!!! read more
Yes this place is a tourist trap. Yes it is crowded. Yes you can have a long wait ahead of you to get to the top. But it's worth it. This was on my list of things to do in Paris and it didn't disappoint. My wife and I bought a pass from one of the local tour companies that take groups ahead of the line to move straight up to the front of the elevator line. It was worth the money as we walked quickly through security and straight to the short line to go up to the second floor and then the third--the top-most floor. Although the city was pretty overcast when I was there, and the weather cold, it was still spectacular. The views all around were impressive, the photo ops abundant, and it was just an amazing feeling to be there. A must-do despite the hassle. By the way, my wife is a afraid of heights and was initially scared to go up. But she loved it. So don't let the heights stop you. WATCH OUT FOR PICK-POCKETS! Keep your items close. People were pick-pocketed while there in the tower so be smart. read more

Ok hear me out when I say this. There is a reason the line is so long here. It's by far the best attraction in Paris that gives you a view of the whole city. That being said, I highly suggest buying tickets ahead of time to avoid the long lines. I have gone up twice, once with tickets and once without. Buy tickets. It will save you so many hours and get you to the top as fast as you want. If you don't buy tickets, you will need to buy a ticket to get to the second level and then wait in another line to buy another ticket to get to the top. Enough about tickets, what about the actual experience? Amazing. Definitely worth it. I can truly say that out of every place I went to in Paris, this one was definitely the highlight of my lowlife. But seriously, but tickets ahead of time. read more
Surely everything has to say about the Eiffel Tower was already commented on the observations made by another Yelper. Anyway, I would leave my opinion. the Eiffel Tower so cool !!!! Is undoubtedly a must to go to Paris :) I can say that I had visited it before, many years ago during my chilhood; but never at night time! So I could enjoy all the amazing views with the fresh air and lights. Climb to the top floor with elevator, it costs about € 15, and from my point of view it is a good investment. I would 100% recommend to everyone! read more

Oh the Eiffel Tower. What can I say about you that has not already been said... You are truly breath-takingly beautiful. I just want to sit on that stretch of grass... eat my baguette, and listen as the soft melodies of the accordion take me away. Perhaps I was there at a special time, but the tower was illuminated blue instead of its usual golden color. I think I recalled someone telling me the blue and the added 12 stars are a tribute to the EU. They also added strobe lights to make The Eiffel Tower look all sparkly and pretty :) read more

One of the many iconic wonders of the world is located in Paris! By day, you're going to want visit the top and view the wonderful city of Paris, there's even a place to purchase some champagne to add to the atmosphere of the moment! There's a restaurant on the first floor, snack bars on the 2nd tier with plenty of gift shops. I did spend some money on a few items. It helps to get a granita drink and some French macarons - so delicious! At night, the Eiffel is lit up in golden lights and is such an amazing sight to see! Across the Eiffel Tower is a carousel and a couple of food stands to buy crêpes or hotdogs & other items. Also, there's a wonderful park right behind the tower to enjoy a nice picnic or to rest. I was here in April of 2016, and I noticed that they've added a barricade around the base of the tower and now guests must go through security to enter the tower space. Other than that, it's still an experience one must see! A bien tôt! :) read more

my biggest bucket list item has officially been checked off!!! was it worth seeing? HECK YEAH! the eiffel was just breathtaking! to be able to see it in real life was just surreal. if you're ever in paris i would totally recommend coming here. see history. see and experience what the builders created. you'll go through a few elevators in order to get to the very top. if you are able to stand on the edge in the elevator you'll be able to see a lot more! add the eiffel tower on your bucket list. add the eiffel tower to your visit to paris. do it and you won't regret it! 2 thumbs up! 5 stars all the way!!! tips: *order your tickets online to reserve a time and date for your visit. it'll save you a ton of time! *you should definitely see it during the day and then another time at night. just to see the difference. i visited the eiffel first thing in the morning and then did a night cruise to see what it looked like at night. *there's a lot of military and police officers walking around. *there's also a lot of people trying to sell souvenirs but be careful. the police officers are trying to arrest them so they'll be running around like crazy. *be cautious of pickpocketing here. *allows you to take pictures so bring that camera. *subway is nearby. *there's a lot of annoying people who ask you for money for their charities. read more

Words are not adequate to explain its gloriousness and majesty in real life. I was on the top floor and after a full lap, I thought, hey I didn't see the Eiffel Tower - and then I realized I am _in_ the Eiffel Tower!!!! So I went here around 9pm and only waited like 10 mins to get tickets and then was zooming up the elevator (didn't want to do stairs as morning had done the 400+ at Notre Dame) with a guy who confessed to being scared of heights!! He was semi- hyperventilating and so I tried to keep him chatting so he wasn't looking outside or down. We made it to the 2nd floor (that's how far he was going and he meet up with friends so I was like, my responsibility is over) and I walked around, taking in the city lights and the sheer wonder of what 1 man with imagination, money and sheer guts in the face of adversity can create. I finally decide to go to the 3rd floor and had another random encounter with an ugly American teenager who pushed ahead of me in line and was generally very white-privilegey. I was like hey, we are all gonna be heading upstairs and I felt sorry for her parents who had raised such a spoilt brat. Anyway the third floor banished all such considerations and I loved the hokeyness of the wax statues of Edison and Mr Eiffel and his daughter that was displayed in their office/ living quarters (although I did hear plenty of jokes about the statues being there). I also achieved my goal of photography the crossover of the two blue lights and these are much more powerful here than downstairs. The nice thing about having gone so late at night was his deserted it felt and there was limited jostling for views. After taking in my fill of the views went to the 1st floor, which has a formal and casual restaurant (both skipped), a great shop (bought some souvenirs although stocks on the jigsaw puzzle I wanted was low - salesperson was very nice and helpful) and a big globe as well as an excellent documentary about building the Eiffel Tower. Also just like in CNNN tower in Canada, there is a massive glass floor which you can walk over and see the people below looking like ants. There's also a cute place with a sign in the glass that says something like "a nice spot to kiss." BTW, the toilets are super nice and clean and they have ladies who let you in as soon as a space is open. Am _so so so_ glad was able to visit. read more

Really? People NEED to review this? Oh, the irony - 'tis exactly what I'm doing. Have you ever been in this situation - where you see a place over and over, and you dream of going there and seeing it for yourself? And then, once you get there, it doesn't feel real? That's exactly how my experience at the Eiffel Tower was. Still, to this day, I can't wrap my head around the fact that it was there in front of me. QUICK TIP: If you want to take the elevator up it, go early unless you want to wait in a lonnggggggggg line. It might take a while, especially on the weekends (it's super busy). I love that you can sit on the grass, relax, have a nice lunch and just marvel at the tower before you. My friends and I had a nice visit to the Louvre and walked to the tower (I know, kind of far) and just sat there in amazement. It really was bigger than I imagined it to be. At night, they have the tower light show at the start of every hour for a few hours. You can have a drink and just enjoy the view. Unfortunately, you're bound to get drunk people actin' a fool...but eh, who's stopping them from having their own good time. People will always be around selling stuff as well. Once I'm done touring the rest of the world, I'll definitely come back again. read more
Fantastic Views of all of Paris. And extremely romantic. I had the fortunate opportunity to visit the tower with my new wife and we loved it, photos a plenty, and you can even purchase a glass of champagne for 10 euro a glass at the top to share some bubbly with your love. (note they close around 10pm for the bubbly) Here's a couple of hints to help you get a lil more out of your visit: - Don't go in a group, they slow you down if you're with your loved one. - Make photos of the outside of the Eiffel Tower AFTER you go to the top, the lines are too long and the people are too pushy. - After you go up to the top, kiss and come down, cause they have a light show at 9pm and 10pm (at least for now) that makes the eiffle tower look like a christmas tree (check the pics) - If you go in a group get a registration to go to the top, its a lot faster, but you have to be right on time, not early and definitely not late. I hope you American's enjoy the Eiffel Tower as much as I did! read more

This has been my favorite place I've visited in the world. I was there a few years ago in April and it was a beautiful sunny day! The beauty of the Eiffel Tower is breathtaking! It's the city of love and you could certainly see why! The line was very long to go up inside the tower so we didn't do that but we took some amazing photos! read more
There's so many beautiful places to see in the world, but only a few are widely recognized and iconic as the Eiffel Tower. There was a long long line to buy tickets, another long line to wait for the elevator, and then the walking. Go there early and prepare yourself a good pair of walking shoes. At the top of the tower, it gives a stunning view of the capital and the surroundings of Paris. It is especially romantic and glamorous in the evenings, when it gets lit up. Although it was raining during Valentine's day weekend, the visit to the Eiffel Tower was still a memorable experience. read more

Absolutely enchanting in the Parisian sky, the Eiffel Tower left me speechless and truly stole my heart. Find it on the second viewing level where I spent all of Christmas with a book and cappuccino while waiting for the glowing lights to adorn the tower at night. Or find it on the park bench below where I laid in the morning, people-watching with peaceful Christmas music streaming from my ipod. Or find it on the 1,652 stairs I walked 4 times, taking in the City of Lights one step at a time. Even more magical, gorgeous, and breathtaking as everyone says... The Eiffel Tower is why I fell in love with Paris. read more

I've taken French language classes for years and one of my "bucket list" items was to visit the Eiffel Tower. It definitely didn't disappoint!! Beautiful views, FANTASTIC light show and romance as far as the eye can see! Yes, there were lots of tourists and some of them were rude, but who cares?! YOU'RE IN PARIS, people!!! read more
This place is so beautiful , it doesn't matter if its winter or summer there is something about the Eiffel Tour that is breathtaking. When you go , go to the top of the Eiffel Tour, it will stop on the second floor as well before you go to the top. Take in the scenery , and at the very top walk around the tower and find the country your from to see what building is close in height to the Eiffel Tour in your country (leave it to the French to show off, lol) Also watch out for the pocket pickers (there will be notices every where , they prey on the tourist, there are actual kids and people disguised as tourist who are the actual thieves , so be aware of everyone !) You will also see people (aggressive men) selling souvenirs on the street (3 for an euro) they can be annoying , just ignore them or give them a stern no. You will also find men with Roses , they will give you a rose and demand for money . don't fall for it . Outside of the pocket pickers, annoying people who sell stuff , it is still one of the most beautiful places ever . It's a must see Also every hour for 5 minutes at the beginning of the hour the tower sparkles , google the video of the tower when it lights up, it's just breath taking and something every one should see in person :) read more

Throughout the course of its existence, the Eiffel Tower has been host to lighting effects of a festive nature. Its gone through a renewal of its sources of artificial illumination, the Tower has benefited from the latest innovations in lighting equipment from gas to electricity, incandescent lamps to neon, passing from sodium to high-pressure, and most recently LEDs. The show starts at 6pm and then every hour on the hour. The illumination that it gives has to be one of the worlds best light shows on the ground. read more

I couldn't believe that I finally paid a visit to this place, one of the most well-known places of the world. The beautiful and marvels Eiffel Tower. My opinion is that, doesn't matter which timing you visit here, it just got its own charm, make people amazed und it is just unforgettable. I came here by the metro, from the station to this place actually took some time, but I enjoyed the walk in this Graden that located in front the tower. Although It was full of people. The moment when I saw the tower from distance, my heart did jump a bit faster. Since I was a kid, I already got to know this place from tv, movie and so on. And glad that I could finished see it with my bare eyes and touch it. My partner ordered the express ticket online before we started our trip, wanted to show me the amazing view from the top of the tower. Which normally, if you try to get this ticket right here, would take you a long time just to wait on the line. It was pity that the tower was completely shut down because of terror attacks, during our visit. However, we have great understanding for it. It was really nice of them refund all our money back. I guess, I could do it next time when I visit this place again. I did enjoy very much walking around this place. Especially the moment when I was standing under the tower. Just couldn't help myself to stand there, look at every detail of it. There many great spots could make great pictures. For example, the spot across the small bridge. There you can have yourself a great picture of the Eiffel Tower and the river Seine. Just simply brilliant. There are also many cool things you can do here. I let you discover it yourself. read more

Sip Champagne at the top of Paris - take the stairs down. How could you go to Paris and not go to the top of the Eiffel Tower? Yes, you can get pictures of it from all over the city, but nothing rivals the view from the very top. Yes, there are huge crowds, but that's to be expected at one of the busiest tourist spots on the planet. Remember, though, there's a reason it's so popular. The Eiffel Tower is synonymous with Paris, to the point you find yourself looking for it when you're at the top. The view is magnificent. We went at night, and enjoyed the lights of Paris, as well as the light show at the top of the hour. They sell champagne by the glass, and while it's not cheap there's something magical about toasting and sipping bubbly at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Don't bother with the elevator down - take the stairs. Not only will you lose the crowds, you'll get a look at the guts of this amazing structure. You get a bird's eye view of the superstructure and the mechanics of the elevator. It's a perspective too few take the time to see. Tips: Be patient. Eat before you go. Use the facilities before you queue up. Resign yourself to long lines. Be patient . Buying your tickets online will save time. Bring sunblock, a hat and water during the day. It's windy at the top, bring a jacket at night. Be patient. Oh, and be patient. read more

The line to the elevator to the top, was non existent this day, so we zipped right up! Great views, a bit scary tbh, but fun! We took some pics, had some laughs, and then walked all the way down the stairs, to the exit! If you are afraid of heights, skip the walking down the stairs part, as my hubby was not so comfortable walking all the way down. read more

You gotta see this icon and symbol of France if, you're ever in Europe. Its an awesome display of an Frenchman's desire to build a temporary display for the World's Fair. read more
One of the most incredible landmarks on earth! So glad we finally got to see this famous and iconic structure. We stayed in Bir-Hakeim right by Eiffel tower. Our airbnb was a 10 minute walk away which also overlooked the Eiffel. It is a monster of a tower! We just wanted to be as close to it to admire it as long as possible! We took a tour on the Eiffel through Viator tours and it was amazing! We waited about an hour and a half to get to the upper floor and it was tight but I'm so glad we did! There's even a small bar to get champagne while you admire the view. Plus, I had to take every picture opportunity I could at the "Place to Kiss" poster! I love the romaniticism of Paris and seeing the Eiffel tower is a dream come true! read more
Do yourself a huge favor and research the Underground Eiffel tour. You skip the line and it's cheaper? I see no point in standing in line when you don't have to. We met our guide at one of the feet of Eiffel. We then walked over to a bunker and went up Eiffel the underground way. You see much of the history of the tower and get to go up... without waiting in the hour long line. read more

First of all I walked with my niece about 40 mins from The Big Wheel in the middle of winter in Paris to see the Eiffel Tower, and was it ever worth it! One of the most beautifully sights I've laid my eyes on my whole Euro trip. I was completely awe struck by its size, detail, and overall beauty. I very much recommend seeing it at night because it's beautifully lit and I believe it sparkles on the hour (I was there at 11pm on the dot so I'm assuming it happens hourly). When it does sparkle it's like magic--reminds you of Swarovski crystals shinning bright. It's also perfect for a romantic stroll--in its presence you just feel so happy and in love with whoever you're with. Just be weary because there's a lot of people trying to see things to you--trinkets such as keg chains and little figurines--and they can be quite persistent. Also keep your valuables at home and purses in front of you because it's a well known touristy area and pickpocketing is notorious in Paris. I'll definitely be back one day, though. It was too beautiful not to see again. read more

This is beautiful I never thought I will ever come to Paris (broke) but thanx to my lovely parents I went for my Bday instead of a sweet 16 I wanted to go to Europe Okay first of all this thing is huge from miles and miles away you can see this and up close im like oh my! at night I believe it starts glowing its a wonderful romantic site! I got to go on all the floors and there is no words to explain it I felt like I was in a textbook at school and im like omg I cant believe im inside and touching this! It was soo crowded shoulder to shoulder crowded that I did not get the chance to go to the store that I believe is on the second floor of the tower not sure I was just amazed of the view! Beware when your down below getting tickets or just wondering around the begers can be mean a lady spit at me because I wouldn't give her money! But if this is your first time here really soak it in its a beautiful unique place I just wish I would live here ! read more
