How to climb the Eiffel Tower
It made me
happy
 "the epitome of perfect timing"
How I did it: I waited a number of years to finally get to Europe on a family trip (lucky my mother is a travel agent!) France was our last stop, but one I made sure we did. We took the Eurostar to Paris from London, ate at a nice tiny bakery and then headed to see the Tower. We waited for a number of hours, we were there in July, right before Bastille day so we got there about 7 or 8 at night, waited in line for a good amount of time, and started the climb. When we finally got to the top observation level...the sun was beginning to set. The view itself of Paris is unbelievable, but to see the sunset from up there was just more than I could ask for. Lessons & tips: Bring a snack, a baguette, some cheese, some wine.... you're going to stand in any of the 4 lines for quite some time regardless of when you visit. See it twice, once at night, and once in the bright daytime. During the day, you can really see everything in Paris and it's great! At night (or around sunset, like I saw) you can be on the tower while the lights twinkle, see the lights of the city, and see a totally different side of it.

How I did it: I was in Europe on a trip and had a chance to spend a day in Paris. I took the opportunity to spend a night and a day in Paris. I stayed near the Arc de Triomphe and could see the changing lighting of the tour that night. And in the day up La Tour I went! Read how I did it…

when i finally got to paris, i was excited to get to get up the tower. it took a long time to wait in line…we brought some food and wines to have while we waited…but our timing couldnt have been any more perfect. When we finally got to the top level, the sun had just began to set. The view was incredible and the sunset was one of the best of my life.
my sister says she’s fine with taking the elevator…maybe that’s what i’ll do. but first i have to get to paris….
i’m going to Paris for my birthday in December so hopefully this goal will be acheived soon! can’t wait!

I climbed it with a bunch of my friends, racing up the stairs. It’s fantastic, the stairs have numbers at every flight so you know how many are left. If you get the opportunity, climb it!
We’re planning on going to Paris for my friend’s 21st next year, so hopefully i’ll get a chance to go up the eiffel tower. I suppose it’s just one of the touristy things you have to do when you’re there, but it’s supposed to be a great view of the city. Plus it’s something i’ve wanted to do for ages.
