The Eiffel Tower, a symbol of Paris and one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, offers visitors a unique experience from the esplanade to the top.

There are several ways to enjoy the Eiffel Tower:

1) Get the best views of the Eiffel Tower the other side of the Seine, from the Trocadero in the 16th

2) Picnic under the Eiffel Tower on the Champ du Mars

3) Climb the Eiffel Tower - I recommend taking the elevator up to the top, but you will save a lot of time waiting in queues if you are happy to take the stairs back down.

Security has increased around the Eiffel Tower, so book your tickets in advance and be prepared to wait in queues. Personally, I think picnic-ing underneath the Eiffel Tower is more fun than visiting the viewing deck, but I understand why you'd want to go to the top!
