I have been to Paris twice and on both ocassions i have returned to the Eiffel Tower! I absolutely love it, and considering how much it is to ride the London Eye i think the entry fee is really rather reasonable! You can access all floors of the tower and the view from each floor gets better the further up you go. A 360 degree view of the city of love and its nothing short of breathtaking! I am going back this summer with my boyfriend and i can assure you i shall be, once again, visiting the Eiffel Tower. Yes, the queues are quite big but they go down rather fast and your on your way up to the first floor before you know it! Theres a restaurant on the first floor which ..  Read the complete review

My fiancé recently took me to Paris for my birthday and whilst there we visited Paris' most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel). ==About the tower== I'm not going to bore you with a history lesson or a long description of the tower as being one of the most famous landmarks in Europe I'm sure you're all familiar with what it looks like! I will however give a quick rundown of background information. The tower was built in 1889 by Gustav Eiffel and was only supposed to be there for a short time, as an attraction for the world exhibition.

It was designed by Gustav Eiffel and named after him. It took just over two years to build and for forty years it was the worlds tallest man made ...  Read the complete review

The Eiffel Tower is synonymous with Paris and situated by the River Seine. As the tallest structure in the French capital it is visible from a number of places and a huge tourist attraction. A trip to Paris is nothing without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Up close, it is quite a magnificent structure and tourists are able to go all the way to the top. There is of a course a lift for those who aren't quite ambitious enough to scale the 324 metres of tower via the stairs. Before your visit it is important to check the opening times. As I discovered upon my first visit a number of tourists will arrive dead on the time of opening and the queues build ...  Read the complete review
