EiffelTowers Reviews

It took just over two hours to pass security and the ticket line. Be wary, there are two lines - one is for taking the lift up to the second floor with a transfer to the top; the other line is to take the stairs to the second floor then the lift (cheaper). Many people on our visit made this mistake and stood in the line for an hour before realising! If you pre-book priority tickets, you d beat the queues but at a much higher premium.

If you choose to walk up to the second floor, there s 669 steps and will be good cardio with one or two short breaks but it could be difficult for some.

The view from the top is breathtaking but very crowded - it s the Eiffel Tower after all. It s a must do activity in Paris and you can t say you ve visited Paris without it! Highly recommend!

The most iconic spot in Paris! And it doesn't disappoint!

beuty by itself! man made wonder. ther is always something to watchout for on the 1st floor.. i got to experience ice skating last year. beautiful view of the city from the 2nd floor.. and on the 3rd floor nothing much as its jus clouds and cold breeze that in front of you and ofcourse you are on the tip of the sky scraper!

The 2nd time i visiting Eiffel tower and still im in love..

If you have kids. It best to go there around 7 pm. When the sun is not so bright. Its great adventure to take the stairs. Make it a race with you kids. Also you get to se inside of the foot of the tower. Notice. The area is now very secure, and they will check you bags before you are allowed to come inside the area right under the tower. All in all a very great experience

This place is fantastic and it is one of the seven wonders of the world.

Such a beautiful monument...I'm so obsessed with La Tour Eiffel! A must see if you're in Paris!

The Eiffel Tower is a eye full of a tower! Sorry could resist that.

Buy yourself a timed ticket to avoid some of the lines, or better yet buy yourself a guided tour and learn more about the history of this amazing feat of engineering.

If you do buy a guided tour make sure you double check whether or not it includes access to the third floor (many don't, but the view from the second is still awesome!).

Take the stairs down from the second floor for a better look at the structure. Totally worth it, far less crowded, and only takes a few minutes.

Sales ppl around the tower get really annoying and the ones with the roses would charge you any price they feel like it come here ready to hustle a hustler or just simply say no.

One of the most visited sites in the world, that takes breath away at first glance. You must reach to the top to get the entire enjoyment of this landmark

I ve been dreaming of this place forever. So magical , so romantic ! At nights they have lights on it and its beautiful as u can see in the pictures

And the most important place to visit when you are in Paris, the city of Love. The place is so beautiful that you would not love to leave it soon. It has a different set of tickets which you can enquiry over the counter. They have a proper queue system for tickets. They have well cleaned and sustained lifts to access to different zones. Summit is the top, from where you can have an amazing view of the city. It feels like you are in the sky and watching over the city.

It has bakery, gift and souvenir shops at the top (costly). It has a kissing spot as well.

One of the best of Paris, loads of visitors. For those who wants to go inside the tower, avoid the long queue, purchase your tickets online. Beware of snatches, don't be fooled by the games around, and don't sign any document. There's a hop on hop off city view buses around the tower for those that wants to have a sight of the city, fares begins with 7.

Speechless experience!

One visiting this place should definitely visit the top floor for the wonderful experience.

And on the ground there is vice point opposite the the tower. Here, you can find people performing stunts on skates. People and children of all age shall enjoy the special moments happening here.

Overall thumbs up!

Amazing experience. Far taller than you could ever imagine in really life!

It is even more beautiful in person than the pictures I saw when growing up. It was a dream come true to see this attraction in person.

A must see for anyone's bucket list. This is truly a best in the world place to visit. The Eiffel Tower is a majestic work of art on a fantastic scale. Brilliant architecture. Take the trip to the top and see unparalleled views of Paris. Each direction lets you look out as if you were in an airplane. An extraordinary experience.

You've seen the pictures but in person it is much more impressive.

Better than expected! Go for the sunset!
We took the stairs to the second level and the elevator to the top. It wasn t a hard climb if your in reasonable shape and it makes it a more memorable experience. Bring a coat for the wind.

Just as good in person as it looks on TV. Best time to get to the tower is about an hour before the Sunset. This way you can get good pictures in sunlight and after dark. Also try to get to the 2nd level of the tower before the Sunset as the city has a completely different look under the night lights.

Went both during the day and night, both amazing experiences! So much fun!!

I didn't see Ladybug and Chat Noir, very disappointing.

Breathtaking place to visit, especial in the winter season! There is a beautiful par surrounding the tower where you can walk, sit and just enjoy this monumental building.

EIFFEL TOWER is situated in paris,France. It's wrought iron lattice tower. It is placed in champ de Mars in Paris.it is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel.whose company designed and build the tower..It was constructed from 1887-1889..this tower is 324 meteres (1,063ft) tall.

Amazing!! Must do! Bucket list tick. Amazing sights. Best time is just on sunset

It is always nice to visit an icon from a country even as we know some French can be arrogant but like always reflect yourself if you standing there all day with all those people rushing to get in you get crazy. But going up is bit pricey but you do once in lifetime and it's a nice experience..just go and do it.

The Eiffel tower is perhaps on of the most visited and recognized man made structure in world.
It was constructed to commemorate the centennial of French revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial progress to the world.
This 324 meter tall structure is named after the e Gustav Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Its construction started in the year 1887 and got completed in 1889. The tower has total of 3 floors with restaurants on the first and second levels.
The wrought iron of the Eiffel tower weighs 7300 tons and the addition of lifts, shops and antenna brings it to around 10100 tonnes.
The tower is painted in three shades, lighter at top getting gradually darker towards the bottom.
This beautiful construction changes its colour according to day of time.
For four decades it was the world's tallest structure.
This beautiful structure can be seen from all over the city.
You couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing Eiffel tower!

A must see, I recommend buying advanced tickets to the top. Champagne up there is 16 euros but a great addition to the views and experience. I did it at night and loved the city of lights

Got to see when your in Paris. Get off on the trocadero-metro 9. Puts you on the opposite of the river for a great view plus you skip all the trinket sales stuff.

La grande dame... no matter how old you are, no matter where you come from, you will always feel this sense of awe but also humility when facing one of the world s wonder. Truely unique, irreplaceable and so close to our hearts... a beacon in dark

Great view, nice experience! Might worth the extra cost to get a guide and show you Paris' landmarks from above, get some historical background of them and learn about Paris.
There are two ways to experience this till 2nd level, either going by elevator or by stairs at a reduced cost. Also in case you book tickets online some days ahead of your visit make sure you will visit on a clear sky. It's so easy to get foggy up there and miss the whole experience.

There's only one Eiffel Tower (of you don't count the ones at Lego Land and Las Vegas)! The best place to see it from is the Place du Trocadero. Then you realise quite how massive it is! Quite a remarkable spectacle.

669 stairs to the second floor! It's a fun climb with a huge view as a reward!

Must visited place in Paris
Day and night both times
Night journey or visit to paris is at different level
Don't forget to drink champagne at top of tower.
Enjoy the scenery with sip of champagne, feel the moment that you are at top of tower most desired destination and having champagne with your love one

Built in 1889 this is the most popular building of France and Paris all around the world. Whenever someone thinks of Paris this is the first building that comes to mind. No one can come to Paris and not see this building. I was riding my Uber here and got to see the garden that was very beautiful and leading up to the tower. You can see all the tourist stand by and busses. Good thing it was a weekday and business hour so was not so crowded. I didn t get a chance to go up the tower but I will add that to me do list next time. Just be careful of some people asking for money , I think i got scammed by some girls. I was there last November and the weather was beautiful too

Great place any Paris visitor should go there especially at afternoons, to go top of the tower is exiting experience,,,

Eiffel Tower! Everyone s dream! Places to see Eiffel Tower: Trocadero, Champ de mars, Montmartre, Art de Triomphe.

We came at night and it was a great experience. You will need to push past a large number of traders in front of the entrance trying to sell you cheap models of the tower before you can finally get in. The view at Level 2 is amazing and you can see right across Paris. Even at 10pm the queue to get on the lift to go to the top was very, very long. We didn't spend too much time at the top as it was very busy and windy.

It's a very famous monument of France. It has 3 floors. You can visit by lift or by stairs. But there are different tarrifs if you want to go by lift at the 3rd floor, you have to pay 25 euros. On the 1st floor, Eiffel tower has restaurants More

Bigger than I ever imagined. It lives up to the hype. A must see!

Lots of scenic beauty to the place. Its just too lovely.

And there it stands with its vibrant aura, erect ,strong yet lonely. The world went beyond it's definition, oblivious and reckless. With everything to give and nothing to take it stands there, shining bright and beautiful and carrying the pain of lonely souls.
The moment my eyes fell into the magnificent tower, I could not change my gaze. It makes you feel the love in the air and will always remind you that you are not alone if you love yourself.
Au revoir

Very nice view, but way too too crowded. You have to queue for security, for ticket purchase, for security 2, for elevator 1 up, elevator for 3rd floor up, elevator on 3rd floor down, elevator down. That took us in total 4h from the beginning of the queue to the way out. Also, i don't remember that was that expensive... Maybe the montparnasse could be a better option to enjoy Paris' view...

Fantastic views and breathtaking scenery. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Also the tour that we was on skipped alot of the queues with thanks to Sarah we had some very insightful knowledge of Paris and the tower.

Given it's a must! It is really cool to see they marked directions of different countries as well the largest buildings in comparison. Not to mention the view is amazing. We went at night and got off on the second floor so we can watch the lights go off on the top of the hour. Brilliant!

For sure it's a place you have to be. God security control but bad toilets supply. 3 m line is nothing for a place like that, but it didn't move....when you get in you get the answer. Of all 12 ladies toilets there was only 8 in function , 8 toilets for the Eiffel which is on tens thunthans of visit every day. Found a stuff asked if there is any other one. The answer was no, only that one. So go to bathroom before you get ahead Eiffel.

The Eiffel Tower, La Tour Eiffel in French, was the main exhibit of the Paris Exposition or World's Fair of 1889. It was constructed to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial prowess to the world.

Awesome place to visit in Paris, But make sure that you climb to the second floor atleast to get a beautiful view of entire Paris( lift available).. but to avoid the long line, make sure that you have booked ticket online. The night view is amazing

Did not see ladybug or chat noir. Very disappointed

Truly a must visit. Went to level 2 with lift and descended back using the stairs, using stairs is a experience on its own. The view from above is spectacular. Also visited the tower during night, it's a completely different experience. Watching the tower glow with some amazing guitar on the side is unforgettable.

Spectacular structure! There are no words to describe the engineering behind it

Had a romantic evening there with the Mrs two weeks ago
And really enjoyed it especially the views from the top and the lights coming on on the hour
Very heartwarming experience
Definitely recommend especially for couples visiting Paris for their first time

I just loved the beauty of Eiffel tower. It's just soo majestic. The top is worth visiting. The ticket is about 20-25 for adult's.

Origin




[n]ot only the art of the modern engineer, but also the century of Industrand Science in which we are living, and for which the way was prepared by the great scientific movement of the eighteenth century and by the Revolution of 1789, to which this monument will be built as an expression of France's gratitude.[6]



After some debate about the exact location of the tower, a contract was signed on 8 January 1887. This was signed by Eiffel acting in his own capacity rather than as the representative of his company, and granted him 1.5 million francs toward the construction costs: less than a quarter of the estimated 6.5 million francs. Eiffel was to receive all income from the commercial exploitation of the tower during the exhibition and for the next 20 years. He later established a separate company to manage the tower, putting up half the necessary capital himself.[7]

Artists' protest

Caricature of Gustave Eiffel comparing the Eiffel tower to the Pyramids
The proposed tower had been a subject of controversy, drawing criticism from those who did not believe it was feasible and those who objected on artistic grounds. Prior to the Eiffel Tower's construction, no structure had ever been constructed to a height of at least 300 metres, and many people believed it impossible. These objections were an expression of a long-standing debate in France about the relationship between architecture and engineering. It came to a head as work began at the Champ de Mars: a "Committee of Three Hund

Its a landmark that is majestic and beautiful. You cannot take your eyes off of it especially when its lit up during the night. Every hour the twinkling lights come on for about five minutes and it's mesmerizing. If you are in Paris you should definitely visit it.

Absolutely breathtaking!!! Weather was perfect! Bring a sweater or light jacket because it is gusty on top. Definitely go as a tour so you can see what you're looking at. Must must must see and do!!

Beautiful just amazing worth to fly from New zealand to Paris

We arrived at the Eiffel Tower and i thought we can catch the lift up to the 3 level once i saw how high it was.The views the whole way up got better and better we had lunch on the 2nd level and eat on a seat enjoying the views then went to the final level unbelievable how much you can see. The views from the second level are the best for photography because they are closer.I went on a beautiful clear day and from the top you can see forever.
There is a small champagne bar at the top level if you are so inclined.
On the second level as are snack bar and gift shops
This was one of the best experiences Ive ever had.

Loved it... It was awesome when the lights were switched on in the evening...

One of the things you cannot miss on your visit to Paris is the Eiffel tower.
A breath taking experience and an amazing view of the city from above, have to visit the tower in the night and go right on top and see the view of the city from above while sipping a cup of coffee.

Another thing is don't miss the light show of the Eiffel Tower. If I'm not wrong it happens at 12am everyday.

Nice as expected. Visited it at night and in the morning. Both times give me wonderful sights. Expect crowd everytime you visit this landmark. There are also so many couples doing their pre-wedding photo session. Stay aware of your belongings as Paris is known for its pickpocket.

Possibly the highlight of Paris and for sure the foremost object that comes to ones mind when you think of Paris or France has to be the Eiffel tower. This masterpiece Designed by Gustave Eiffel as a spectacular radio tower for the worlds More

Wish came true when visited and saw this huge iron tower, really amazing!! Surrounding area is beautiful. Well managed but have to wait for an hour for your turn due to large number of tourists. Total 3 floors and each floor are designed differently. From top floor, view of Paris can not describe in words.

It is better to purchase ticket online before the visit in order to shorten the waiting time. Currently, there s construction work in the surrounding of Eiffel Tower. So it is closed by fences. It takes about one hour just to pass the security check through the entrance of the fences. Once you enter the fence gate, you have to wait another hour (only in the morning when there s less tourists) to buy ticket. The lines for stairway is shorter if you are up to 674 steps exercise.

It's one of the very best seight seeing towers I have ever in the world beyond
Truly I promise its amazing even better than burj Khalifa tower in Dubai its nice

Great views. Great experience, these are some photos I took of it from around the city
(Will add view from the top soon)

I've visited this place on a sunny afternoon. On first look, I was very disappointed by looking at some Rusty (that's how I felt) tower.

But after looking at night time with dazzling lights. It's a wow moment. Again next day when I looked on day light, I have very positive feeling and it's pretty.

One of the most rewarding views in Paris. After waiting in a line for a short amount of time one elevator transports you up to the first/second platform. (In my opinion the second platform had the better view). Unfortunately I had not the chance to visit the third platform.

Ofcourse the Eiffel Tower was excellent to visit. It's a historical monument and the staple of Paris. It's majestic size and beautiful glittering lights at night are just spectacular. Climbing to the mid point was a workout well worth it. Having a savory and a sweet crepe both at the same time was superb as you exit the fabulous monument. A must see! Enjoy!

Wonderful place. I went there by foot, only drawback is that you can't buy tickets to use the escalator to go to the top once you're on the 2nd floor.

Unfortunately upper level was closed due to wind. That really took from the occasion. Otherwise very impressive and safe. The focus on safety means you can only access the tower from certain points and that means the hawkers know where to be.

food was great the wait was over 1 hour so could be better

Very interesting place. Nice to visit and hear about the history of it's creation and how perfect it was built. There are two separate kinds of tickets: with visiting just the first and the second floor and with coming to the top of the tower. Would recommend to visit the top (the summit of the tower).

This time I visited with my family. Great place. Wonderful views of Paris. It costs to ho to top floor, but it is worth it.

There is a museum on first level. As well Food court.

So. Yes Eiffel is a beautiful place but there is a dance that added to the beauty and fun. They perform in the evenings at champ de Mars. Forgot their name unfortunately.

Busy but beautiful place to visit. Don't.bring any big bags and make reservations in advance on the many internet sites... or make sure you have enough time to wait in line for the security check and ticket office...

The queue to get up the tower was so insane that I decided not to do it. There are quite a few scammers and pickpockets here so do be careful.

Very unique and beautiful tower, one of the must-visit places when you are in Paris.
We you in Paris you can't miss this place

It is a dream coming here.
Favourite and best time to visit for me is at night time.
However, it was beautiful throughout the entire day.
The Tower lights and sparkles on the hour for a few minutes and is breathtaking.
Be carefull of the Hustlers trying to sell Eiffle Tower Souvenirs or fake/used Eiffle Tower passes
They are harmless but can be annoying.

We visited at 8pm to see the city at night and it was very impressive. The tower at this time wasn't mad busy and we didn't have to queue to get in. The view from level 1 and 2 is good but the view from the top viewpoint is amazing, you can see the whole of Paris in all its glory. One of the things you must do when visiting Paris as it is not very expensive.

Great experience, the tower has a sheer presence. It is a must do when in paris , the lines to get in can be lengthy but well worth the wait, best to book online prior

There is nothing more to say than the fact that there isn't an iota of doubt as to why this structure is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. A piece of beauty at the centre of Paris. Sitting in the garden facing the eiffel tower, with the golden rays of a beautiful evening adding to the texture of the bronze colour of the structure is an experience that is a must have in Paris. While that is the case, the only downside is that there are too many people trying to sell you mini eiffel towers and its understandable that they are trying to make a living, but the sheer number makes it difficult to have an extended moment with this monument without being disturbed. Nonetheless a must visit.

I took the high speed train from Frankfurt to Paris. I traveled First Class. The train got up to 150 MPH once we left the German border. I visited the Eiffel Tower. There are many tourist from all over the world and it was crowded. The view was breath taking. At night, on the hour the Eiffel Tower twinkles. Another breath taking view.

I visited Paris and the Eiffel Tower in 1972. It has always been beautiful memory and in 2017, my 2nd visit, reinforced my love for Paris.

We did a guided tour. There's no history lesson boards really on the eiffel, so it's better to do some kind of tour. I recommend the earliest time. We went at 845 and started climbing around 915. We had tickets in advance so we could skip the line, even the security line. A bonus is in the summer, you still get a few hours of the cool air before it heats up by the time you get to the summit (if you chose to do it). Plus if you go on your first day, you can point out all the stuff you want to do during your trip and get a pretty good idea of how close or far they are--helpful when using public transportation.

I hope that someday Ahmad Syarif Fauzi and Rahimah Ulfah, will come to this place..
