It's such an iconic piece that we've all seen many times in popular culture, so I really wasn't expecting to be WOWed by the experience. It truly is a beautiful and magnificent piece of work. The area around it is beautiful and the tower itself has a very aesthetically pleasing nature to it. Go to the top if you can, it's worth the extra charge. It gives you a beautiful view of Paris and you can appreciate the city in a new way. Also buy tickets beforehand if you can as the lines are very long.
