Yes, the Eiffel Tower is an amazing piece of architecture. But get underneath its phallic spike and everyone tries to sell you a keychain with a tiny replica dangling from the end. For ten euros. And your French companions try to make you buy one. And then, because the elevator is so crowded, you get to climb up several flights of stairs to see the beautiful view across Paris...and more kitschy souvenirs. Maybe my experience was soured because I was being stalked around the tower by some dude named Ab-Dalle and his creepy Mafia-esque sidekick. Hhmph.

At Least Do This: Chill out, take the elevator to the top, and grab some coffee at a small second- or third-floor cafe.
Alternative: Or, if you're hippie like me, you could just take a blanket and some bongoes and hang out on the Notre Dame green.
