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
Fatos rápidos: Luzes douradas transformam a silhueta numa escultura cintilante à noite, o piscar a cada hora encanta multidões. Do alto, a vista revela um mosaico de luzes e avenidas, e mais de sete milhões de pessoas por ano confirmam a mistura de vertigem e admiração.
Destaques: À noite, 20.000 lâmpadas piscam por cinco minutos a cada hora, transformando a estrutura numa chuva de pontos de luz que cintilam contra o céu e fazem a vista ganhar reflexos dourados. No topo há um pequeno apartamento particular de Gustave Eiffel, preservado com mobília de época e manequins que parecem conversar sob a luz amarelada, onde o engenheiro recebia convidados e atendia um telefone antigo.
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.
