In 1889, Gustave Eiffel began the construction of the Eiffel Tower. It was Built for the world's fair that was to be held in Paris that year. Nobody ever thought that it would still be standing over a hundred years later. In a city filled with culture, The EiffelTower dominates as a must see...

The photos I think speak for themselves. Being France's symbol, it's the most discussed objective in Paris, so my words are lacking ideas here. My impression anyway , was one of extraordinary splendor, as i have never seen the Eiffel tower til that point at night. It felt like actually living a...

You can go up to the top of the Eiffel Tower or you can pass, and most
travelers fall within one of those two camps. The light show at night
has now made it pretty unbearable to be near when the sun sets unless
you're up for an epiplectic fit (although I hear it looks nice...

The Eiffel Tower is one of those must-see places for anybody visiting Paris. Just the sight of the tower itself is enough to give you goosebumps, even if you’re not particularly fond of architecture or history in general. I never made it to the top of the tower because the waiting lines were...

I never managed to go up into the Eiffel Tower – for the waiting lines were always insanely long, even out of the peak of the summer. Nevertheless this is a must visit monument, even if you cannot go up into the very top or the middle level restaurant.
Not only its size is...

I've heard a lot of complaints about huge lines for going up the Tower, and I know that it's true: I live right by the tower, and the crowds are atrocious most of the time. Most tourists resign themselves to the fact that at a lot of attractions in Paris, they are just going to have to wait, but...

Even though I have been living in France as an expatriate for many years now, I had never been to the Eiffel Tower until just last summer. Before visiting, I had seen it everywhere around me - in shops, in paintings, on postcards and even once passed by it - but I never took the chance to ride up...

One of the most famous landmarks on Earth, the Eiffel Tower is something I would suggest everybody visit at least once - just so they can say they have!
Whilst I was there, I had an artist draw a sketch of me. If you happen to do the same then make sure you barter with them on...

My visit to the Eiffel tower was not as amazing as I had expected it to be. I was put off from the beginning by the interminable line at the end of which I encountered myself. I am not exaggerating when saying that I waited for at least 1 hour..standing. I was already tired from standing when I...

When traveling to Paris I strongly recomend checking out the Eiffel tower. Aside from the direct view of the tower, there is also another amazing view that is possible from the top of the tower. The great thing about that view is that you can see all of Paris from up there and it looks like a...

Okay, I'll be honest, getting up this thing was a nightmare. I did it in May and that was bad enough - I wouldn't want to try it in July or August when the tourists are twice as thick and the weather is blazing hot. There was a lot of pushing and shoving and people being rude in general (and...

Let’s face it, if you’re going to visit Paris, then NOT going up the Eiffel Tower is unforgivable. In fact, it’s like going to Egypt and not seeing the pyramids. For around EUR10, you can go to the top, which will not only make you dizzy, but give you a good idea of Paris’ size and...

I believe that everyone has already known about this famous Towel and that many people also wrote about this Towel too. I personally got a bit disappointed when I wanted to explore this magnificent towel on foot. My cousin and I were only able to climb up to the second floor after paying 3€...

I would recommend enusring that you have a warm coat if going up the Eiffel tower at night as I was frozen by the time I got back down to the ground. It was an interesting sight though, because all was quiet at this time. Indeed it was almost eerie, as there had been huge lines all day, and still...

I also failed to realize that just as there is queue to go up, there is also a long winding queue actually on the Eiffel Tower's second stage lift area to get back down! That's because they use the same lift to take people to and from each of the stages, and so I had to wait for several lift...

I walked underneath the centre of the Eiffel tower and towards the park that extends for about half a mile in length, like a green carpet. The Eiffel Tower itself looks quite magical from the park as it puts it’s size into perspective and I sat there for an hour or so just basking in its...
