Introduction to the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) is a landmark building in France, located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. It was completed in 1889 and was the world's tallest structure at the time. Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel, this lattice-style iron tower is 324 meters high and has three levels. Visitors can take an elevator to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of Paris. At night, the tower is illuminated with lights, which twinkle every hour, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Ascend the Eiffel Tower

To climb the Eiffel Tower, you can choose to walk or take the elevator. Walking can only reach the second floor, if you want to reach the top, you must take the elevator. The official website tickets are divided into two types: access to the 2nd floor and access to the top. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance on the official website, because there will be a long queue for buying tickets on site. Tickets on the official website can be purchased up to 60 days before the visit, and the earlier you buy them, the cheaper they are. If there are many people, consider purchasing group tickets. In addition, pay attention to the time slot on the ticket. Even if you arrive early after purchasing the ticket, you cannot enter. You must enter at the designated time. The whole visiting process takes about 2-3 hours. Of course, you can also purchase tickets online in advance, which is super convenient!
