Eiffel Tower is impressive, to say the least. It is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world and continues to fascinate people, every single day. You may have seen the Eiffel Tower many times in pictures, movies, and postcards but nothing quite beats standing in front of it. the tower has three levels, the ground floor, the second floor, and the summit.
Regardless if you decide to just stay on the ground floor or ascend the second floor and the summit, the Eiffel Tower is an unforgettable experience. However, do keep in mind that going to the summit affords you a stunning vista of the city of love.
If you show up without pre-booked tickets, you will be likely to waste time in the initial entry line. During summer, the waiting time can take as long as two hours. Weekends and holiday can be much worse. It is advised to book a reservation online, well ahead of time.
Plan to arrive close to sundown to see the amazing view then stay until it gets dark, so you can see the lights. There is a five-minute display featuring thousands of sparkling lights lassoing the tower. The tower is impressive by day, but it is something to behold at night.
The tower has three levels with observation platforms and they are connected by stairs and elevators. However, there is no single elevators going straight to the top. To get there, you have to first ride an elevator to the second level and once you are on the second level, you have to line up again for the next elevator that will take you to the top.
As with any metropolis, Paris also has its share of predatory pickpockets. There are street thieves who will readily plunder tourists of their valuables. Wear a money belt or something that will keep your cards and cash tucked away under your clothes. Be mindful where you keep your phone too.
It is best to arrive during meal times to avoid long lines and the crowd. Lines tend to be especially shorter during lunchtime. Furthermore, visiting during winter or on a foggy day will help you avoid tedious queues and give you the best views. Arrive a little before sunset and you will have the best of both worlds, Paris by day and Paris at night!
