The Eiffel Tower felt a bit overrated to me. It's surprising how much attention it gets compared to other amazing tourist spots in Paris. However, it was an enjoyable experience. We took the lift to the second level and I suggest booking your tickets from the official Eiffel Tower website to avoid extra charges. We didn't opt for guided tours, which seemed unnecessary. Our timing was perfect as we admired the sunset from the top. If you're keen, you can venture to the summit. Overall, the place was well-maintained and clean, though it was quite crowded. You can take plenty of photos and enjoy the evening. Highly recommended! Make sure to visit!

Checking off an item from my bucket list was thrilling. Visiting the Eiffel Tower was stunning both during the day and at night. Although there are crowds, they are manageable. The tower truly shines with its twinkling lights, and the Olympic rings add a nice touch by the bridge.

We reserved our visit to the top floor of the Eiffel Tower well in advance. Celebrating Valentine's Day with champagne at the top was an unforgettable experience. The organization was excellent, with a gift shop and bathrooms available on the top floor. The views are spectacular and it’s a must-do while in Paris.

An amazing structure indeed! The lines may be lengthy at times. Be prepared to pass through security before entering, and expect another security check if you want to go to the top. At night, the tower sparkles every hour, while the views from the top during the day are breathtaking.
