Der Eiffelturm, [la tuR e'fel] (frz.: La Tour Eiffel), ist ein 324 Meter hoher Eisenfachwerkturm in Paris. Er steht im 7. Arrondissement am nordwestlichen Ende des Champ de Mars (Marsfeld), nahe dem Ufer der Seine. Das von 1887 bis 1889 errichtete Bauwerk wurde als monumentales Eingangsportal und Aussichtsturm für die Weltausstellung zur Erinnerung an den 100. Jahrestag der Französischen Revolution errichtet. Der nach dem Erbauer Gustave Eiffel benannte Turm war von seiner Erbauung bis zur Fertigstellung des Chrysler Building 1930 in New York City das höchste Bauwerk der Welt. Mit der Ausstrahlung des ersten öffentlichen Radioprogramms 1921 in Europa und des ersten französischen Fernsehprogramms 1935 trug das Bauwerk als Sendeturm gleichermaßen zur Geschichte des Hörfunks und des Fernsehens bei. Daneben beherbergt der Fernsehturm als Turmrestaurant auch ein gehobenes Speiselokal.

Had been there twice for day view and night view. Snapped a lot of photos for this tower.

It was wonderful to come out of the station at Troceador (must get off there) to see the tower all lit up and sparkling. It twinkles on the hour. It is an easy walk down to the tower from Troceador and the fountains are lit up too. The lift up to the first floor is worth the price - reasonable (around 20 euros for family) . For anyone with a disability there is a discount but you're not allowed to go any higher than the first floor. Staff may also prioritise you with a disability? The return walk back to a station involves either a hike back up the steep hill to Troceador or a long walk along flat roads to a station approx. 1 km to the left when facing Troceador. MUST SEE Tour Eiffel by night!

Oh what a surreal feeling it was to turn the corner after exiting the Paris subway, to actually see this picturesque monument in real-life! I was amazed at it's stature, the color of it and the details on it. Inscribe around the base of the tower are all of the names of the workers who built it. Truly an amazing site to see

It was cool enough on the ground, so we didn't want to venture up to the top of the tower where it would be windier and colder. Plus, it cost lots of money and the lines wove all over the place. Instead, we sat on a bench and watched schoolchildren playing soccer (or football).

The Eiffel Tower is always an inspiring site for me. Since my first visit in 1989, I'm always awe struck when approaching the Tower.

Un incontournable.

The Eiffel Tower is one of those iconic sights that tells us we're truly on holiday. I know a lot of the people on our tour felt that way too - just pure excitement that we were actually in Paris.

- Amazing architectural wonder.
- Huge and enormous structure.
- Loads of tourists and similarly loads of cheap souvenir sellers.
- Very easily accessible through Metros.

- Trip to both the levels is breathtaking.
- There is an option to climb up / down the stairs until the 1st level, thereafter you have to take the elevator for the top level.
- Gorgeous Paris landscape views all around the tower from the top level.
- Go late in the afternoon to avoid the long lines.

- A great place to hangout for a couple of hours late in the evening, especially on the weekend with plenty of youngsters thronging the park with breads, cheese and wine and having small picnics.
- Music, dance and people chit chatting makes you feel a part of it while you are relaxing in the garden.

- Take a short walk and wait until the lights come up, and that is when the real beauty of the tower can be felt.
- Every hour there are numerous lights blinking like flashes, which is the highlight for the lighting.

- Overall a very romantic spot if you have some personal music, wine, food and towels to spread and relax lying down.

On the way to the Eiffel tower, we stopped at a grocery store. We picked up some brie and other fromage francais, olives, wines, grapes, salami, pretzels, cucumbers, tomatoes and serviettes. The baguettes were bought fresh from a bakery and off we went to meet our french friends for a picnic dinner under the Eiffel Tower. It was a beautiful night, spent laughing and talking about films, politics, cultures and various places we'd traveled to.

At ten and every hour thereafter the tour sparkles!

It's an amazing spectacle to see.

The most touristy place on earth, but for a good reason. Must see!

It's not Paris if there's no Eiffel tower, and it symbolizes Paris like nothing else does. That's why it's on all those souvenirs! I've been to Paris twice in my life so far and though i've seen the tower, sat beneath it, i've not gone up in it. It's not cheap to do but most people do it anyway as it's symbolic. I think i'd prefer to go somewhere like the rooftop of a department store or up the Montparnassed Tower and get the Eiffel tower in my photos!

I would definitely recommend seeing it at night as it lights up for 10 minutes on the hour in a beautiful display of lights!
