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
Brze činjenice: Visoka metalna konstrukcija doseže oko 324 metra zahvaljujući antenama, a sastoji se od približno 18 038 željeznih elemenata spojenih s oko 2,5 milijuna zakovica. Gledajući odozgo, svjetlosni spektakl bljeska pet minuta svakog sata i privlači više od sedam milijuna posjetitelja godišnje.
Istaknuto: Na fasadi ima 20 000 svjetala koja svake večeri na sat vremena bljesnu pet minuta, pa se pri sutonu svečano iskriva poput ogromne svjetlosne simfonije dok zrak miriše na pečene kestene. Na vrhu je mali privatni salon koji je Gustave Eiffel uredio za goste, s minijaturnim namještajem i Edisonovim fonografom, pa se lako može zamisliti kako su posjetitelji nekad šaptali dok su slušali ploču i gledali kilometre svjetla pod nogama.
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.
