Best Times to Visit the Eiffel Tower:
The Eiffel Tower is Paris' most-visited attraction, so it's easy to understand why it's preferable to visit when crowds are likely to be a bit thinner than usual:
  • Low season in Paris is October to March. If you can visit during these times, you'll be more likely to avoid long lines and overcrowded observation areas. However, visiting the tower during the cold and wet months of November-February is less likely to be a pleasant experience, especially when overcast skies obstruct magnificent views of the city.

  • Visiting during weekdays rather than weekends and in the early morning or late evening is also a good idea.
Ways to Climb the Eiffel Tower:
  • By stairs: You can access the first and second levels of the tower (187 and 377 ft., respectively) by climbing 1,652 stairs. There is a small admission fee. Visitors with vertigo should abstain.

  • By elevator: Three elevators are available to shuttle you to the first and second levels of the tower. For security reasons, only one or two will be operating on a given day. An additional elevator must be taken from the second level to get to the top of the tower (another 905 ft.). Keep in mind that during peak tourist season (April-September), you may need to wait for a while.
