What symbolizes Paris better than the Eiffel Tower...

What symbolizes Paris better than the Eiffel Tower? Soaring 324 meters (1,063 feet) into the air, La Grande Dame en Fer - or Grand Iron Lady - defines the city s skyline. The tower is situated in 7th arrondissement, one of the French capital s chicest districts, and was originally built for the 1889 World s Fair in Paris. Over 120 years later, the Eiffel Tower remains the tallest structure in Paris and stands as one of the City of Light s most popular tourist attractions. In fact, it welcomed its 250 millionth visitor in 2010! The figures behind the iconic tower are staggering: There are 1,665 steps from the East pillar to the top. Over 500 people work on the Tower every day. 2,500,000 rivets hold it together. Every few years, 60 tons of paint are used to repaint it and being French, in 3 different shades to highlight its soaring beauty

Amazing place to visit when in Paris! To skip the long line we took the stairs, 674 steps to the second floor. Barely any people walking up. From there the elevator to the top, no line here either. I loved taking the stairs since you skip the waiting and get a full experience walking up and down.

There was a large amount of people selling cheap toys and souvenirs that it was hard to move around the area.
The main park area had loads of dead grass and whilst there we witnessed multiple rats running about.
2 stars because the tower is nice but the surrounding area is not nice at all.

The tower was something cool to look at. Sort of like just getting it off your bucket list. The tower itself is nice to look at, especially at night time. The light show seemed to start at the hour starting around 8 PM or when dark enough I would think. Lots of people trying to souvenirs all over the place at the bottom. The tower is also now blocked off around the perimeter with a glass/rubber type of wall and there is one way in and one way out. The park on the bottom was also blocked off with fences when I went in October of 2018. Worth it to check it out while in Paris.

It s the Eiffel Tower! Once hated by the locals as ugly and now you can pay a mint to climb it! What s there to say? It s become not only part of Paris but a defining feature for tourist and the city itself. Not only that but you can get unparalleled views of the city from atop it! It s defiantly worth it but we spent over two hours in line to get tickets and the top level was closed due to capacity. Get your tickets early if you can.

I didn't go up in the actual tower, because of the wait times and long lines of tourists. Of course, it had definately been worth it. But I did watch it from Trocadero Gardens. Truly beautiful!

It was a wonderful evening. And view gave a different feel from water. Experience the evening ride so we can see the Eiffel tower in both day and night light from water. Also the entire city in both day and night light was so good. We visited in mid of October

The view from the 2nd floor is amazing!!!
You can see the entire city. In this floor there is also a bar and a little souvenirs shop. If you go to Paris, you must go to the Eiffel Tour, you'll enjoy this experience.

A lot has already been said about the Eiffel Tower. We took the metro and reached the tower early morning, when the ticket counter opens, at about 9 in the morning. You could either take an all elevator ticket to the top or you could take the ticket to climb the stairs to the second floor and take the elevator to the top from there. Climbing the stairs to the first two floors is one of the best experiences that can be had. You wouldn't even realise when you you have climbed to the top. The views atop are absolutely amazing and definitely worth it.

Beautiful. We loved it!

Beautiful. We loved it!
Note that tourists are warned about pickpockets in this area so be careful of open bags and anyone trying to distract you. The base of the tower is now surrounded by a glass enclosure which makes it a bit safer and excludes the street merchants. There is no charge to enter this bit but bags are checked.
The tower is accessible by elevator or stairs, both at a cost. You can access the first two levels via the stairs, but check for available bookings if you want to get to the top.

The Eiffel Tower I still feel like saying everytime I see it wow, the Eiffel Tower . It inspires us to dance, jump and photograph ourselves in front of it. It inspires people to leave the other side of the world just to stand, sit or run beneath it.. We love the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower symbolizes Paris. Watch Fishercat 1010 on Youtube. Go twice so you can see it both in daylight and lit up at night. You needn't ascend the Tower twice, but you'll definitely want to see it at 10 p.m. when the lights sparkle. A good time to ascend the Tower is shortly before twilight, so you can experience it at sunset and also after dark. Watch Fishercat 1010 on Youtube. Paris may be the most visited city in the world, yet it's also one of the most expensive. But for travelers on a budget, there are plenty of cheap and even free ways to enjoy the city. Paris may be the most visited city in the world, yet it's also one of the most expensive. Watch Fishercat 1010 on Youtube. The Eiffel Tower restaurants provide guests with the best view in all of Paris. Meals run on the expensive side, but when you factor in the advantage of skipping the long entry line and the overall once in a lifetime opportunity of dining in the Eiffel Tower - the experience is well worth the cost.

You ll need your reservation barcode to be scanned from the actual website and not just a screenshot so connect to their wifi before going in. Beautiful view from the top, there s a lot of stairs though so be prepared to take breaks unless you splurged on the elevator ride up. Book a good bit of time in advance to go to the very top as there s normally no room left short notice and you can t take stairs all the way up.

fer" (French for "Iron Lady"), it was constructed from 1887 to 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair and was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world.[3] The Eiffel Tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.

Pretty awesome to see the eiffel tower in person. Here are a few pictures i took while i was out there with some friends. I can't wait to take my family on vacation to visit as well! How everyone can make the trek! Have a gret time. There seems to be a party going on 24/7.

Simply awesome. Didn't get the chance to visit top floor via lift because of long queues, better to book slot online to skip queues. A must visit during night time to see the beauty of Eiffel tower doubled by the lights and light show, which happens for every five minutes after sunset.

Most definitely worth visiting.

Most definitely worth visiting.
Make sure you make use of the skip the line facility and definitely have a glass of champagne at the Champagne bar.
Enjoy.

It's beautiful in Paris. One of the most beautiful structures on the planet. I am an American and I'm telling you to visit this place. This place is glorious. Being able to view the French landscape from way atop the Eiffel tower is simply amazing. I am an American. I had the privilege of enjoying this architectural masterpiece. I was with my wife on my honeymoon. It's hard to believe it's metal from top to bottom. It's absolutely stunning. The elevator ride up is pretty scary but it's worth it. The views from up top are simply too beautiful to describe. It is picturesque. It's gorgeous. Its France. Bring your camera and take lots of pictures. If you're going to France this is one of the places that you must put on your list. Either day or night you're going to have a beautiful view. Cherish this trip because it's one you'll never forget. Fantastic!! France is hopping during the French open tennis championships, Roland Garros. Wow! Been there yet! Try it!

Absolutely blown away by this place. Historic and iconic. The view from the top is breathtaking with the entire city before you. Night time in lights the Eiffel Tower looks stupendous and the sparkling effect which happens for 2-3 mins after every 1 hour at night is absolutely stunning. You need patience to get the tickets to the top, but it s worth the wait and you ll not be left disappointed. Superb!!

It s a wonderful experience on top of the Eiffel Tower, btw I had missed my bag during the security check and I found that after going to the second floor. But the staffs helped me a lot to find it and they allowed me for free again to the 2nd floor.
I went twice in one day, during the day and night.

If you want to visit Eiffel tower, go there in Evening. So, if you come little before the Sunset then you can see the tower and it's surrounding in day light and also in the night after Sunset ( you should stay more than a hour there). In the night time it is really beautiful, cross the river, go to the other side of river and enjoy the beauty of Eiffel tower during night. You can walk around the river to fall in love from the view of Eiffel tower.

We already had bought our tickets so we were able to skip the ticket line when we got there. I would highly recommend this. Keep in mind you still have to clear security before entering the Eiffel Tower area. This can take some time so plan ahead if you have a time stamped ticket.

Highly touristic. main tourist attractions in Paris, France! Elevators work now but you can still take the stairs if you wanT
you are looking for pictures of the Eiffel Tower you can also visit the lawn or pond at the sides for better views.
Expect long lines and waiting at security , lifts and entrance!

Most of the people know about Eiffel Tower already! But it's quite awesome to reach the top most floor of the tower and see the whole Paris from there!

Also, the beauty increases tenfold when the sparkling lights are illuminated!

It's a great experience. Beautiful environment. River near the tower especially in night time is visual treat.when we went the elevator was not working for the top floor so couldn't experience the top floor. Shopping inside the tower is very costly. Viewing the city from the Eiffel is magnificent. While we get down from tower again elevator was not working. Love to go again hope elevator works well.

It has been my dream since my childhood that I wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower I had always read about it in my books and newspapers and news letters but I have never visited it has always been my dream that in my lifetime I just want to visit the Eiffel tower and in October 2019 I got an opportunity to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris and guess what it s the best structure I have ever seen in my life is the best man-made structure I have ever witnessed in my life

I took my husband to Paris for his birthday and we had the most amazing weekend ever! Despite the cold weather we were able to do quite a lot over the weekend we were there, and had an amazing time overall. The queues for the Eifell Tower were really long, even first thing in the morning when it opened so we did not bother to go inside. However, just being in the same physical space of this iconic landmark with each other was enough. Loved it!

The tower is now sealed off by glass. Outside the glass are street vendors all selling the same trinkets. What a difference from our first visit when you could walk right up to the structure without having to step around street merchants. That was in 2008. We tried to go onto the tower on a Monday before we left and they closed it....carumba.

Would recommend paying to go to the top. Totally worth it for the view! The queuing wasn t terrible. But beware of pickpockets! If you want to get the day and night time view I would recommend going at 6pm. Once it gets dark the do the light show every hour for 5 min. It s beautiful.

Loved loved loved! So wonderful at night. In fact, it's less busy. Go in the late evening. Don't book ahead. Walk up to the second level and then take the lift. We had no problems. The views are stunning and there is a great vibe at night.

Heard this place was pretty popular so figured I'd check it out. We got lucky it was a nice day and wasn't too windy or cold. Lovely views of the city. We decided to walk up to the 2nd stage. Still not sure why and I'm pretty sure my legs still hate me but once we got up there it was beautiful. Costs 10.20 to walk up. They have beer, wine, champagne, some shops as well. Line ups can be long but expected given how popular it is.

The iconic tower is even more iconic for its views. It was truly a blessing to be able to enjoy Paris magnificent urban layout from the top floor of the tower. Although lines could be long, the view would definitely make up for it. Toilets are available on each floor, there are restaurants and cafeterias on the first and second floor. Enjoy Eiffel everyone!

Totally touristy. Insanely touristy. Tremendous ly touristy. But also totally worth checking out. Sometimes it's fun to be a tourist. But seriously good people watching. One of the most famous buildings in the world and a monument to human engineering and design. The Eiffel fellow really knew his stuff. Always picture myself at the World's Fair with a big top hat and mustache chatting with people about what an eyesore the building is and how I can't wait for them to take it down so Paris can go back to being beautiful

This amazing place is breathtaking. It is totally worth going all the way to the top. You can buy the tickets in advance and the ones are not along at all. There was a double checkpoint when entering and they do not allow lock on the tower. The view from the top is amazing. Be sure to visit also at night !

If you will pau to go up, check to eat there it's 25 to go up and 50 to go and eat (in including 5 meals) The view is amazing.
At night you can see the tout with Lights but it just stay on until 1 am (more or less) ... Maybe stay more during the summer.
Every one hour it makes a light show for 5 minutes.. Nothing special... But at first time people love it.

Beautiful, magnificent, a dream come true. It was a more beautiful sight than the other. The surrounding environment full of trees and parks to picnic or just sit on the lawn and enjoy the view.

When we first arrived in Paris and I saw the Eiffel Tower, I thought "What an ugly piece of giant industrial metal." But I'm telling you, it grows on you. It's MASSIVE, and our hotel was very close by, so it helped direct me around Paris. By the time I left, I was calling it beautiful and now I miss it. The lines were long, but they moved pretty quickly. I didn't go to the very top because I'm not great with heights, but I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st floor!

Must to see during your visit around it many places also to set , eat and to buy things also train station is really close to it , very romantic place and during summer you can enjoy a drink at the garden just next to it , many people there so try to find the best spot for a photo

Amazing place, gardens, and monument. You can get there by train or by metro. Recommend to walk all the river from the Notre Dame Cathedral to the Eiffel Tower.

Truly an exhilarating experience! Enjoyed a Classic Musical performance in the Eiffel on Old Year's Eve. Beautiful violins and cello. The night views were beautiful.

Amazing piece of engineering by Gustav Eiffel!

For an aerial view of the Paris, 25 seems expensive; no doubt, you'll enjoy the view. If you are visiting Paris first time, then you'll be astonished to see that the city (buildings & landscape) looks the same all around.

Even if you've paid for the elevator, use the stairs to get down from Level-2 (some 15+ flights), you'll get to see some nice spots sans the crowd.

It was breathtaking. One can only imagine the skill and planning it to to build such a masterpiece. I was very pleased that is was free to get into the courtyard area. We did not make the climb, but the weather was very cold and windy. Prepare yourselves for being that close to the water in early May.

Mandatory stop for any visitors to Paris. Such iconic Landmark. We reserved for the 7:30pm time slot to skip the long ticket line and went all the way to the top floor first before working our way down. It was the right strategy as we were against the crowd and enjoyed our time up there during the sunset and also the lights at night. Magnificent views. Beware of the pickpockets for sure as I saw a young lady almost got my friend's wallet but she failed and had the gall to ask the operator to go up the elevator again for another try on someone else. What scumbags.

The name says it all. The place is as beautiful as images on the internet show it to be. Completely mesmerizing experience to be in it's presence. You can purchase a ticket to reach the top floor and the view is every bit worth it. The wait might be long depending on which season you visit it in, but it's every bit worth it. Would love to try the dining experience in the restaurant inside the tower. At night, every hour, the tower sparkles and it's truly something beautiful to witness.

An incredible sigh to behold - the Eiffel Tower is stunning! The sheer size of the tower really can t be captured in a photo, and it s only in person you realise how huge it is. My pictures were taken from Trocadero, one of the more popular perspectives of the tower.

The eiffel tour is one of the prettiest monuments i have seen. Even better at night, it starts to sparkle every first five minutes of every hour and it is magical i recommend you see it from the trocadero where many will also be looking at it and amazed by its majestic beauty. I haven t tried climbing on top of it but it is definitely on my bucket list if i ever get the chance of visiting again.

There are different gates for entry. Please make sure that you check the both them. During my visit there was a very long queue at one entrance and the other entrance was completely empty. Other than that, buying a ticket online is always a More
