Well, if one is in Paris it’s hard not to visit. Queues can be long so best to get there early and be prepared to wait for a while. Tickets are not expensive. Splendid views from the top, of course, particularly on clear days. Overall well worth a visit if one is there. Fun for all the family although small children may get bored by the wait and be less than impressed.

🇫🇷 An Essential Paris Experience: Unforgettable Views and History! Visiting the Eiffel Tower was a highlight of our trip to Paris. Even on a cloudy day, the structure itself is breathtaking from the base. The sheer scale and engineering are incredible, making it a truly iconic landmark. The Experience: We took the time to go up to one of the platforms, which I highly recommend. The views of Paris are spectacular, giving you a completely different perspective of the city. Being inside the lattice work of the tower itself is an experience. I especially appreciated the historical information available on the different levels, detailing its construction and use for early radio transmissions. It adds so much context to this magnificent monument. Tips for Visitors: Book Tickets in Advance: Lines can be very long, so pre-booking is essential to save time. Allow Plenty of Time: There are security checks, queues for the lifts, and plenty of things to see once you're up there, so don't rush the experience. Photo Ops: The viewing platforms offer incredible spots for family photos, framed by the beautiful ironwork and the city below. Overall, the Eiffel Tower is a must-see landmark that lives up to its reputation. Highly recommended for all visitors to Paris!

Great view from the top (actually 2nd floor is enough, don't have to go all the way to the top unless you want to pay extra, IMHO). All that metal took 2 years 2 months amd 5 days to put together. 328 steps to the 1st floor, and probably the similar to the 2nd floor. They do have bathrooms on the floors thankfully. I feel I earned the right to take the elevator back down. Make sure to buy online tickets in advance, they get booked up fast! Also having an e-ticket gets you into the fast line!
