Any tourist visiting Paris owes it to themselves to visit this landmark. Although, interesting fact, 90% of Parisians have not actually visited it! I feel this is a shame as the experience is not to be missed. Impressive from a far and up close, it is a delight to discover the views from the top. Though you can take the lift up, I would recommend taking the stairs, as it is far quicker and less expensive. When I went, by the time I got down, two hours after I had climbed up, the same people were still queuing for the lift!

There are two platforms to climb to, both with great views of Paris. There is a third platform but this is not to be visited, as it is where Eiffel himself had his office.

For those who enjoy eating, there are two main restaurants, though I have no been myself.

All in all a great place to go!
