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
Datos rápidos: Desde los miradores altos se siente el viento entre las vigas y sorprende que más de seis millones de visitantes suban cada año. Por la noche miles de luces parpadean cinco minutos cada hora, transformando la estructura en un espectáculo brillante que enamora a fotógrafos y parejas.
Destacados: A 276 metros de altura, la vista se despliega en un tapiz de tejados y el suelo metálico vibra bajo cada paso, mientras la brisa trae olor a pan recién horneado y a café. Por la noche, durante los primeros cinco minutos de cada hora, 20.000 bombillas parpadean en un destello dorado que convierte la estructura en una lluvia de chispas, y los fotógrafos esperan con cámaras y trípodes por ese instante exacto.
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.
