Advantages: View ... wind ... chill ...
Disadvantages: View ... wind ... chill ...

...husband and I visited la tour Eiffel at night, having previously visited it in the middle of a hot summer day. I thought, a night visit would be quite different, the night scene would be a nice change and the crowds will not be so bad. Upon reaching the Eiffel Tower, I wasn't wrong in my assumptions because it was quite deserted and we had a fabulous time! Getting there = The Eiffel Tower can be reached by several means, of which ... Read review

Advantages: wonderful
Disadvantages: sometimes crowded.

The Eiffer Tower (La Tour Effiel) is the most important monument of Paris, and the Symbol of the Ligh and Love city, although if you go to Paris, there is no much illumination lol. Eiffel Tower is 324m long, the weigh is 10000 tones, in summer it can be 18 cm taller than in summer because of the high temperatures in metals The tower was built because of the expo 1889, by Gustave Eiffel, he wanted to use the tower as a big gate to go into the ...

Advantages: cheap to visit, great views of paris, one of the most popular attractions
Disadvantages: lengthy queues

If you visit Paris its almost rude not to go up the Eiffel tower. Those of you who have read my other reviews on Paris will know I went there last summer for a few days……and yes I did venture up the Eiffel tower. History: The Eiffel tower was built by the contractor Gustave Eiffel in 1889 and is 118 years old. It took only two years two months and five days to build, which is quite remarkable considering the height of the tower, the weight of ... Read review

Advantages: A magnificent structure with manificent views.
Disadvantages: Queueing and annoying salespeople.

The Eiffel Tower is the ultimate attraction in France and certainly it does not fail to amaze. On flying into the airport (Charles de Gaulle) I got a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and at first I thought it was smaller than I had imagined. Yet, the next day we set off. It is really simple to get there by metro and from the station it only takes 5 minutes to walk there. It is well signposted. You are probably thinking what a nutter I am - surely I ... Read review

Advantages: dominates paris skyline
Disadvantages: expensive to go up

The eiffel tower must be one of the most strange monuments ever built. But it is truely magnificent when you are stood looking up at it. The tower dominates the Paris skyline and is a must when you visit. However it is not a cheap place to go. To be honest I found it better to stand at the bottom and munch on a crepe than going up although the views are spectaular. Do go there but maybe don't go up I guess And the general area surrounding the ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing Views, great experience
Disadvantages: A little pricy, can be very busy.

I suppose it would seem hard to write a decent review about a landmark that is so well documented and features in just about every movie filmed in France ever. i know that you will have seen pictures of it and perhaps seen one of the many movies: View to a kill, Le Divorce etc and I am sure that you have really grasped the true size of the thing. It is absolutely emormous and seems to climb for ever. We visited it on the 21st of June 2006. ... Read review

Advantages: Spectacular views
Disadvantages: Not good if you are scared of heights

If you are visiting Paris then the Eiffel Tower has to be visited. The views of Paris were spectacular especially from the second level. We took our 2 children up but be careful of the lifts because you are very tightly packed in and they nearly got squashed. We also did not find the prices to be expensive and thought that 17 francs to enter to be good value. Standing underneath the tower we found the prospect of climbing it daunting, but our ...

Advantages: it!
Disadvantages: price

the eiffel tower is the unquestioned sight of paris. there is nothing else like it in the world (aart from the copy of it the french gave to the americans a while back) and it is deservedly he focus of attention in paris. you can go up by foot (to the 2nd level) or by elevator to the top, but in both cases the queues are usually very long and the prices very very very expensive. i prefer to stay on the ground and marvel at the spectacle from different ...

Advantages: touristic place known from the world
Disadvantages: ...

I heard of Eiffel Tower's twinkles of lights stop after the july 14th. Then, I had the opportunity to take photos from the "Lady of Paris" in night, with all its lights. If you want to see a last time, these ephemeral stars, then hurry up to come. Many people come each night to admire "her". These thousand and one stars (I didn't count...) twinkle during few minutes, at 10 PM ans at 11 PM each night, at nightfall. In summer, sky is still light ... Read review

Advantages: Magnicient view
Disadvantages: Expensive and windy

The Effel Tower seems to be a favourite among tourists, including me. I personally find it not to be worthwhile. First of all, the entrance fee of 60F is a bit high just to get up there. And, the long queue and waiting time seems never ending. An advice, never go up there during windy days. The winds are strong and you get frozen in no time. I don't recommend old people to get up to the top of the tower since it is easy to get dizzy. However, the ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of places to go
Disadvantages: A little dirty

In Paris, there is a lot to do. I went to visit the Eiffel Tower, which you can go up either by elevator or walk up, and on every level, there is a gift shop, and binoculars to look out at the scenery with. After that, you can eat at the Eiffel Tower resturant, which is beautiful. The food was filling and excellent. After that, on the way back to the hotel, we stopped by at one of the market stalls to buy some fresh sea food, and to do some shopping. ... Read review
