I saw this in the daytime and at night. If you can t do both I recommend going at night. If you go at peak season I strongly recommend you purchase a ticket in advance. Very often these tickets sell out up to a week in advance so don t wait if it s peak season. If it s not peak the tickets still sell out, but the que is often short or quick.

I actually recommend you go to the second lift and not the top. The top sounds great, but you can get the best photos from lower. When you to the top the iconic monuments become indistinguishable. Everything is just specs like dots.

Also instead of taking the lift straight back down take the stairs down one level. There you will find the restaurants- but ignore those. Instead walk toward the center and find glass you can stand on and look below directly under your feet! Also walk the perimeter and read many interesting facts about the tower.

The restaurants are very expensive, small fancy bites, but not all really phenomenal taste. Frankly you re better off finding places the locals eat and save your money. I recommend L as des Falalfel, Le Petit Vendome, Le Coliquecot, or go get some ice cream scooped in a flower shape at Amorino! #letsguide
