We just loved our visit to the Eiffel Tower. This was our first visit and we were amazed at how big it is. It stands much wider than it looks on the pictures. We suggest you to book the tickets in advance online and must see the Paris City from top. The view is just astonishing. We bought the tickets of 4pm slot so that we can enjoy both day and night scenery from top.

The second level is a great place to enjoy the view and see the whole of Paris. The elevators are generally very crowded. You can use stairs down to the 1st level. There are a lot of winding stairs in the tower but it was a nice experience. There are several shops and eateries in the tower too. You can buy souvenirs but these souvenirs are more expensive than you might find in the shops across the street so you may want to check other places out as well.

We had heard the stories about the pick-pockets around the Eiffel tower so we were extra careful but we didn't see any incidents.

Good luck :)
