5 Things You Must Do If You Are Visiting The Eiffel Tower



The Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris is surely on the bucket list for a lot of people & I was fortunate enough to visit it recently. So here are 5 things I think you should definitely do when you visit the Eiffel Tower. 

Just admire it’s god damn beauty

You are finally in Paris, standing near the Eiffel Tower. Take a minute & just enjoy this moment. Look around you and absorb in the beauty of this magnificent place. 

Buy a ticket & climb up the Eiffel Tower


This is absolutely a must do!!! And trust me it is worth every penny. There are 3 levels at the Eiffel Tower, accessible by both lift & stairs. For Level 1 & 2 it costs you 11€ by lift & 7 € by stairs and for level 3 it costs you 17 €. There are various student, group, adult & children’s discounts offered. There four entry gates but do check which ones are open when you reach there. Also, you can opt-in for an Audio tour of the Eiffel Tower. 

Reach early to get the best view & photos

Trust me when I say it, REACH EARLY. The Eiffel Tower opens at 9:00am and to enjoy it to its fullest reach there as soon as possible. I actually reached there by 10:00 am and it was amazing. There was really less crowd, the ticket counter was empty, the security check & elevator line was really small & best of all the viewing decks on Level 2 were practically empty.

 It is so because all the planned tour operators, as well as the Hop-On-Hop-Off buses, normally come there by 11:00 am. So you will get plenty of time to get the perfect picture and Snap story without many people in it. I left by 12:30pm and by that time there wasn’t even any space to stand on level 2.

Take the mandatory Eiffel Tower photo

Well, this is something I don’t even need to mention. Take as many pictures you want, I sure did. I literally have 20 selfies in front of the Eiffel Tower just because I felt like doing so. 

Know the RER stations nearby & the routes

This is actually very important if you are traveling by RER as it will help you decide which RER station to go to for your next destination. I traveled the entire city through RER so I can tell you keep a map and by map, I don’t mean Google Map. I mean a proper printed map of the metro network. Keep the Google Map to find which station is nearer to your next destination. 

NOTE: BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETERS

Now, I’m not pretty sure if a lot of people experienced it but I certainly did so I thought I should warn you guys. I will surely share this experience too in another blog post soon. So just be aware of your belongings. 

Paris is a wonderful city & Eiffel Tower is an iconic location, so make the most of tour time there & enjoy.

    We went to Paris for 24 hours a couple of years ago and to make sure we saw as much as possible did a bus tour but that's as close as I got to the Eiffel Tower, next time I go I must get closer!

    I did this years ago as a kid. I'd like to go again as an adult. I'm terrified of heights so I remember being on the top and shaking.

    Gorgeous pictures. I so wish I could visit the Eiffel Tower. If I ever have occasion to do so, this information will come in handy. Thanks so much for sharing your tips with us.

    I didn't know there were different levels. I mean, I guess I did, but I didn't know you chose which level to visit. I learned from this post. I'm looking forward to visiting your other posts.

    Great advices. I went to Paris last March 2017. It is also nice to go there at night. You'll see how lights change in the tower.

    This is great advice for visiting the tower. I am not the hugest fan of heights, but I don't think I could pass up a view like that. It looks spectacular. And I'd have to go early to avoid the lines. That's good advice.
