2 . The Eiffel Tower is not just the symbol of Paris, but of France. Designed and built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the 1,050-foot tower once held the title of the world’s tallest structure (建筑物). Because it’s roof of the structure’s global popularity, the crowds can be quite large, meaning that priority-access (优先访问) tours are highly recommend. In a peak season, long lines mean that waits can often be more than three hours. Save time by booking a skip-the-line Eiffel Tower ticket with or without a tour guide. This experience can be combined with a Paris city tour that covers the top sights, such as the Arc de Triomphe (凯旋门), Montparnasse, and the Louvre Museum.

Things to Know Before You Go

Plan your visit in advance and book skip-the-line tickets to avoid long waits. If you purchase an admission ticket for Eiffel Tower summit access, you will head straight to the top.

There are ATMs and gift shops on the ground floor.

You will be required to have a security screening before entering the tower.

How to Get to the Eiffel Tower

Take subway line 6 to stop Bir Hakeim or RER line C to the Champ de Mars station. For better views, take subway line 6 to 9 to stop Trocadero across from the River Seine.

When to get there

There’s no bad time to visit the Eiffel Tower, but summer and the holiday months are especially good, and night tours afford perfect views. For a unique experience, you can go on Bastille Day and see the tower lit by fireworks.

Unique Eiffel Tower Experiences

The first-floor 58 Tour Eiffel Tower restaurant is the perfect place to see the Paris skyline and try some French food. Travelers can also choose to go behind the scenes at the tower to see the unique engine room and the second level’s rooftop platform.
