As is widely known, The Eiffel Tower should come on the top of your list of places to visit, if you ever go to France! The tower itself is a sight to behold, let alone the breathtaking view it features from its top! If you choose not to visit it, its blurry image will keep haunting you wherever you go in Paris for it is visible from almost any vantage point of the city.
Its remarkable architecture and unbelievable size is awe-inspiring! A constantly moving crowd is another one of its characteristic features. Thus, you do have to waste a large amount of time standing in lines to experience it.
Eiffel Tower has come to symbolize Paris in a way no other thing can. Whenever one thinks of Paris, one has to think of the Eiffel! Its shape features in key-rings, T-shirts, books, paintings etc. Eiffel is known worldwide and is something everyone must see at least once in their lives.
Facts tell us that over 204 million people have visited it since 1889, thus, making it the most visited attraction in the whole of France! Not only this, the entire structure weighs around 10000 tons!
However, the Eiffel tower like many other things in this world is overrated. It’s like when you visit the Taj Mahal. You’ll be excited as long as you reach there and will be struck for maybe a few minutes. However, after some time you just grow bored of the ever increasing crowd and the never ending lines. There are other more interesting places to visit in Paris. Even then, I will suggest you take all the pains required and visit it at least once!
The first floor basically features a display of the tower’s history. There is also an Altitude 95 restaurant present here. A more sophisticated Jules Verne hotel is situated on the second floor. Souvenir shops and information kiosks are found almost throughout. Take the elevator to reach the top which features the picturesque views! The height is so extreme that it sometimes makes the view unclear because of the clouds!
A good tip is to visit it as early in the morning as possible for that way you will miss the largest crowd. Midday is the peak time and that is when you will find the largest rush
