Visited the Eiffel Tower on my first day in Paris. We had not prebooked tickets so had to wait in the queue. Although this moved quickly and the team in the ticket booth were friendly and helpful. We went up in the lift to the second floor. The view was incredible. We then walked down to the first floor and sat down and had some drinks. It was pleasant and clean. The structure is beautiful and I can see why so many people are drawn to visit it. Would recommend to anyone visiting Paris.

This was a unique one of a kind experiencing the Eiffel tower. It is highly recommended to purchase your entrance way ahead of time to avoid the que. The view from The top is simply breath taking. A visit to the tower at night is highly recommended! word of caution this site is known for pickpockets so keep a close watch on your belongings and dress appropriately to avoid drawing attention and become a victim. All in all a visit worths its while.

We pre-booked direct on the official site, where prices are much cheaper than the numerous "guided tours" found on the internet. Our queue for the lift to the second floor was shorter and we then joined another queue to reach the summit. All in it took about 45 minutes from our official booking slot to arriving at the summit, but the views were sensational. Our visit was topped off with the champagne flute we had at the summit.

Everyone says that the Eiffel Tower is over-rated, but I beg to differ. It was beautiful from every angle and even more astonishing when lit up at night! We had the chance to celebrate Bastille Day and watch as fireworks were launched off of the Eiffel itself. Spectacular!

Beautiful experience once you arrive to the very top of the tower. The only issue was how packed the visit was with other tourists. I would highly suggest buying your tickets prior to your visit, as we had to wait in line 2 hours. Otherwise, this is such a beautiful view of Paris when at the very top. Being there for bastile day and seeing the tower light up was amazing as well.

I went into it expecting the Eiffel Tower to feel like the Staue of Liberty or the Space Needle, but wow it blew them both away, the view was spectacular. Once you avoid all of the pick-pocket scams outside, it was a great expereience. If you visit in the summer, plan for a long wait, unless you plan ahead. My wife and I wanted to go to the top and found out, you can perpurchase tickets to the top 60 days out. In the summer they go fast so plan for it. We got there a little early but if you get to the pre-queue when your timed ticket is for , its a pretty quick process to get to the elevator. My wife is sometimes uneasy about heights but really wanted to go, and she was not disapointed by the view. We were both so happy that we planned ahead, didn't blow our entire day, and saw the most amazing view of Paris possible.

Who can’t go to Paris for the first time and not visit the Eiffel Tower? We bought “skip the line” tickets six weeks before we went and I would highly recommend it. Between two security lines and waiting for two elevators, it still took nearly 45 minutes to reach the top. However we heard from others in our tour group who tried to go without buying ahead of time and the wait was four hours. We actually preferred the view from the second level as opposed to the top because you could see just as much, but clearer, however glad we did the entire thing.

We bought our tickets online the day before visiting the Eiffel Tower, this meant it was very easy to arrive, get our tickets checked and then go straight to security. The stairs are an absolute killers, if you are not very fit or struggle with stairs don’t even attempt this. The stairs keep going and going and there’s no place to pause for a rest so you would be better to take the lift. The views are absolutely incredible, better when the weather is sunny but not much we can do about that. Also very windy at the top so even on sunny days take a little jacket. The shop was very nice and had lots of lovely little trinkets.

With a few days to go Trip advisor cancelled our booking with no explanations. We only booked through them as Eiffel Tower website had sold out. We emailed the Eiffel Tower website and they said come early in the morning and we should be able to buy tickets directly. We suggest that you head down to the Eiffel Tower early (we got there at about 9.30) We was able to buy tickets for Level 1 and 2 walking up the stairs. We bought tickets at a much reduced rate than trip advisor. 0 star review for trip advisor 5 star review for Eiffel Tower. You can enter the Eiffel Tower for free (You have to go through a security check) you only pay if you want to go up it. We went back at night time lights come on at dusk and on the hour the lights sparkle for 5 minutes

When you say Paris, France the number one thing that comes in to mind is the Eiffel Tower (without belittling other famous landmarks within the city). That feeling seeing it that close is so unexplainable, thinking it was there since 1889. So much history has been unfolded since then to now. We wanted to go up, but the queue is too long. Nevertheless we enjoyed the sceneries within the area.
