Also known as the "Iron Woman," Eiffel Tower is an iconic symbol of the City of Lights. You’ve no doubt admired this tower in countless films, but when you see it for the first time you'll be blown away by its magnificent scale and grandeur. Gustave Eiffel built the 325-m (1,063 ft) tower in 1889, and for 40 years this was the tallest structure in the world. As you ascend to the third level, realize you’re climbing to the highest accessible observatory platform open to the public in the entire European Union. On the first and second levels, dine in the restaurants, shop in the boutiques, and enjoy breathtaking city views. An audio guide and an iPhone app in English offer historical and cultural tidbits. Taking the Métro to the Ecole Militiare stop, then strolling up Champ de Mars, is a lovely way to arrive. Plan to see Eiffel Tower and other attractions that appeal to you using our Paris planner .

  Visit twice. Once during the day and wander the area for great photos (beware of pickpockets). And come back at night to the viewing pavilions for the sparkling light show!  more »

  Beautiful tower. I really like older industrial architecture, and this is one of the most beautifully crafted towers in the world in my opinion. If you go Paris, go Eiffel tower. Take out an hour for it to fully take the architecture and scale of this building in. Visit both sides! With the grass fields on one side, to rest for a bit. And the other side the palace and fountains. Don't forget them!
