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
Fatti rapidi: Salire fino alle piattaforme regala un panorama che avvolge il paesaggio circostante, le luci notturne trasformano la silhouette in uno spettacolo scintillante che cattura lo sguardo da lontano. La struttura pesa circa 10.100 tonnellate e comprende oltre 18.000 pezzi con più di 2,5 milioni di rivetti, un mix sorprendente di robustezza e leggerezza ingegneristica.
Punti salienti: Sai che al terzo piano si trova ancora l'appartamento privato di Gustave Eiffel, arredato con manichini di cera che lo ritraggono mentre riceve ospiti illustri come Thomas Edison? Ogni sera dopo il tramonto la struttura si accende con 20.000 lampadine che scintillano per 5 minuti ogni ora, e viene ritinteggiata con circa 60 tonnellate di vernice ogni 7 anni, perciò quando sali puoi persino sentire quel leggero odore di metallo e vernice calda.
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.
