  • I know not everyone will agree with me but I think it is not worth the wait to go up the Eiffel Tower. I've been twice which was about 1-1/2 times too many. I guess the first time was ok because it was late and there was not much of a wait. But the second time I went we spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get up there. Then once you get up there, you are so high up that you really don't have such a good view of anything. It is better to climb to the top of Notre Dame for a city view. The impressive part of the Eiffel Tower is what you can see from the ground.
