A really busy, touristy experience, but one you have too do when you re there. It s lovely to just walk around at sunset, as the colours and the overall look and feel of the tower change from morning to afternoon to night. We loved watching it sparkle at night and at sunset watching it change with some food and wine. It was a really nice experience.

Only downside is that they ve built a glass wall around the tower. Due to safety precautions I m guessing. It is free to get through to the arena though, but does cost money to get to the top.

You can have dinner up on the second floor I think, which would be a great experience, but we opted for a sunset and picnic.

Don t let this phase you but the only annoying thing about the Eiffel Tower is you will get harassed by men walking around with buckets of alcohol and Eiffel Tower keychains etc. CONSTANTLY. You need to tell them to go away before they even start talking to you or they will stick around you and try and sell you anything from alcohol to drugs. If you re straight with them, they won t annoy you again but because there are like 50 different guys, they ll all come up to you.
