The Eiffel Tower is stunning when you see it in person. I rated it 4 stars because you must book online in advance to ascend the tower, and even when I tried weeks before my arrival in Paris, it was already sold out. You can take nice photos outside, as shown in my review. It's definitely a bucket list experience that I was thrilled to enjoy in my lifetime, and I hope you do too.

The iconic landscape of Paris, could there be anything more romantic? This was my second time here for my birthday. We had a wonderful time, although the weather was cloudy all day, and we only saw the sun for one day. Our time spent at Champ de Mars was unforgettable!

A beautiful area of the city filled with iconic buildings and plenty of photo opportunities. There's a great little food market across the road from the Eiffel Tower, which is perfect if you're feeling hungry. Just be cautious of pickpockets, especially around the subway and in crowded areas.

The park is lovely, and the fact that they have fenced the Eiffel Tower with glass really helps maintain a seamless vibe and atmosphere. There are excellent opportunities for photos—try capturing the flag display on the right-hand side of the tower with the tower in your shots as well. It rained and was cold when I visited at night, so I couldn't get a great photo. Spend a couple of hours there to capture pictures from various angles.

We arrived after sunset. Such a beautiful place with lovely weather at night, even in February. It was crowded, but there was plenty of space to walk and take pictures without any hassle. One vendor selling mini Eiffel Towers was disappointed because we didn’t make a purchase! (Not really relevant) We enjoyed our visit.
