Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel)
Best time to visit
Early morning on weekdays offers the shortest lines and softer light for photos; arrive before opening if you plan to climb the stairs. Sunset gives dramatic colors and lets you watch the tower sparkle after dark.
Budget tips
Timed tickets are sold on the official site, book in advance to avoid long queues; elevator tickets to the summit cost significantly more than stairs-only tickets to the second floor, and the Paris Museum Pass does not cover the tower. No regular free-entry days are offered, so plan for paid tickets.

About
Hurtige fakta: Fra toppen breder byen sig som et tæppe af lys, vinden på platformen føles kølig, og trafikens summen bliver til blid baggrundsmusik. Over syv millioner gæster besøger hvert år, og metallet er malet i tre nuancer, mørkere nederst og lysere øverst, både for at beskytte mod korrosion og for at få konstruktionen til at virke ensfarvet på afstand.
Højdepunkter: Bag stålet gemmer sig en sær tradition: hver aften blinker 20.000 små pærer i fem minutter hver time, så tårnet står som et glimtende net mod nattehimlen. På toppen, 324 meter over gaden, kan du mærke den svage varme fra solen på malingen og høre et metallisk sus i jerntværket, en puls du nærmest føler i brystet når vinden tager fat.
Insider tips
- Book a timed ticket online and arrive 15-30 minutes before your slot to pass security with minimal delay.
- For the classic photo, shoot from the Trocadéro steps in the morning, or from the Champ de Mars at sunset for golden light.
- Choose the stairs to the second floor to save money and often time, but wear comfortable shoes and be ready for many steps.
- Expect security checks and restricted bag sizes, so carry a small backpack and leave large liquids at your hotel.
