What are some attractions at the Eiffel Tower?

Answer 1

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.
