∙ 6y agoThe views from the top of the Eiffel Tower are breathtaking and you will be able to snap some pretty great photos, even in the midst of such a large concentration of people. Also, it's worth considering that journeying to the top of the Eiffel Tower is one of those once in a lifetime activity that many people dream of but never get to experience. Sometimes the value of the opportunity outweighs the reality. All in all, if time allows it and lines and crowds don't frighten you, I would encourage everyone to do venture to the top of the Eiffel Tower at least once. But if you're working within a very limited span of time, skip the long wait and the journey to the top in favor of spending that precious half day of touring time more wisely.
There are much better views from: 4th Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou - with the advantage that it's both central and free. 3rd The Arc de Triomphe - that straight line East to the Louvre and West to la Defense is amazing. 2nd The towers of Notre Dame - completely central, but with one snag - you can't see Notre Dame from there. 1st by a mile: the tenth floor of the SAMARITAINE department store at the end of the Pont neuf. DO NOT MISS THIS. Go into the store at the river entrance - that way you'll get the right building, there are four but only one on the riverside - and find the elevator that goes to the 9th floor. From there, take the stair up to the roof terrace. You can buy a coffee (not expensive, astonishingly) and see most of the view from there; or you can find the little spiral stair to the viewing platform and MARVEL. You are in the very middle of Paris, every major monument is in sight, most of them within a mile, and IT'S FREE.

What are some concerns in Paris?
Concerns in Paris? are you kidding me?! Paris is one of the most beautiful places in the entire WORLD!!!! I laugh at the thought of "concerns" in Paris. One concern though would be not enough beauty!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite places to be is by the Eiffel Tower in the spring when it is just beautiful out. Oh wait, it's always beautiful in Paris!!!!!! There are absolutely no concerns. Everyone should visit Paris at leat 10 times in their life.
Why is the Eiffel tower an iconic building for France?
Eiffel Tower has NOT been "accepted to be listed as a World Heritage Site". It has been listed AS A (small) PART OF the site of "Paris, Banks of the River Seine" which IN TOTAL a. Represents a masterpiece of human creative genius b. Exhibits an important interchange of human values in architecture, technology and town planning c. Is an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble or landscape
From where can the best views of Paris be enjoyed?
Alternatives to the Eiffel Tower...La Tour Montparnasse is one of the only skyscrapers in Paris, offering a wonderful view. L'Arc de Triomphe at Charles de Gaulle Etoile is not as high, but still offers a breathtaking view. As with Sacre Coeur, l'Arc de Triomphe requires a bit of stair climbing with no optional elevator....but the Eiffel Tower is nice, too.If you have several hours of free time and don't mind paying for the privilege, you can visit the Eiffel Tower. However, if you are on a budget and/or do not quite have the time to invest in the wait to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, you can venture to the Sacre Coeur in Montmarte for some of the most breathtaking views of Paris. Best of all, the views from atop Montmarte are free, unless you decide climbing the (MANY) stairs to reach the Sacre is a bit too physically challenging for the tourist who has covered a lot of ground on minimal sleep for several days. In that case a small less lengthy than that you will encounter at the Eiffel Tower and a nominal fee will buy you a ride on the elevator that takes you to the foot of the Sacre Coeur. On a clear day, one can see all of Paris below as well as everything that lies approximately within a 20 mile radius.Just as a reminder, the monument you refer to is "MONTMARTRE," not "Montmarte."
Does buying a reserved ticket in advance speed up the wait in line to the Eiffel Tower?
it only speeds it up because u don't have to wait in line to buy a ticket but other then that u wait in all the lines
How do you get to the admission window to buy an Eiffel Tower ticket?
You do not purchase your ticket prior to getting in line. The first line you wait in IS the line to the admission window and the first elevator ride. You will purchase your ticket immediately before boarding the first elevator. Once the line leads to the ticket window, you will have three choices: 1.) Ride the elevator to the first level, which will cost about $5.25 American. 2.) Ride to the elevator to the second level, which will cost about $9.75 American 3.) Ride all the way to the top for about $14 American. Note: Admission to the Eiffel Tower is NOT included in with the Paris Museum Pass.
How many shops in Eiffel Tower?
Yes.Be prepared.There's a million and one and I mean it you should bring loads of money.
How long is it to get to the top of the Eiffel tower using the elevator?
The time to get to the first floor, and from there to the second, is about two minutes using any of the two main elevators (they make the trip from ground level to 2nd floor and back in 8 minutes).At 2nd floor level, you may have to wait a few minutes, as the capacity of the third floor is limited (400 people max), and the last elevator smaller.
What are some attractions at the Eiffel Tower?
Apart from the Eiffel Tower, there is not a lot to do immediately around the tower. There is a small park, a few small fair rides, shops and food stalls. The tower itself has a few shops, snack bars and a restaurant or two...oh and a champagne bar on the top deck (lift to top deck costs 5.5 euros extra, but worth every cent). The Musee D'Orsay is close by and has some very famous pieces of art. You could also try a cruise down the River Seinne, jumping on a boat very close to the tower. It is worth waiting to see the tower light up at night and IF you wait for a time on the hour (9 o'clock, 10 o'clock etc.) the tower flashes with hundreds of gold lights. There is a lot to do if you catch the RER, Metro or Bus nearby (walking is also an option). You could visit Loure Museum, Arc de Triumphe, Notre Dame Cathedral etc, but as I say only with a long walk or using public transport.
What can you say about the elevator on the Eifflr tower?
It goes up at an angle. When I went on a Bus tour to Paris the upper level elevators were being up-graded and closed. When it is Busy there canbe a 3 hour wait to go up the tower. Oh well next time I will get to the top if I have to go up the stairs.
How do you make the Eiffel tower with toothpicks?
You can build the Eiffel tower out of toothpicks any time as long as you have: toothpicks cardboard hot glue or tape. you can use earthier one but the tape is very complicated and not very neat looking. After you have all those minerals your ready to follow these steps! 1. your cardboard will be your surface, if you want it to be a different color I suggest painting it first then Wait until it drys 2. then lay out on apiece of paper what you want it to look like 3. you will have to do the out line first in toothpicks then you can start with the fancy structure. It will look like the efle tower exactly but with no lines in the middle if this doest work i feel you looking through every web sight just to find something useful. I say good luck you'll need it.
