The Eiffel Tower is the landmark of Paris. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, the Tour Eiffel was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World Fair). It took 300 workers, 2.5 million rivets and two years of nonstop labour to assemble. Upon completion the tower became the tallest human-made structure in the world (324m or 1063ft) – a record held until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York (1930). A symbol of the modern age, it faced massive opposition from Paris’ artistic and literary elite, and the ‘metal asparagus’, as some Parisians derided it, was originally slated to be torn down in 1909. It was spared only because it proved an ideal platform for the transmitting antennas needed for the newfangled science of radio-telegraphy.
Ascend as far as the 2nd floor (either on foot or by lift), from where it is lift-only to the top floor. Pushchairs must be folded in lifts and you are not allowed to take bags or backpacks larger than aeroplane-cabin size.
Buying tickets in advance online usually means you avoid the monumental queues at the ticket offices. Print your ticket or show it on a smartphone screen. If you can’t reserve your tickets ahead of time, expect waits of well over an hour in high season.
Stair tickets can’t be reserved online. They are sold at the south pillar, where the staircase can also be accessed: the climb consists of 360 steps to the 1st floor and another 360 steps to the 2nd floor.
If you have reservations for either restaurant, you are granted direct access to the lifts.
Of the tower’s three floors, the 1st (57m) has the most space, but the least impressive views. The glass-enclosed Pavillon Ferrié houses an immersion film along with a small cafe and souvenir shop, while the outer walkway features a discovery circuit to help visitors learn more about the tower’s ingenious design. Check out the sections of glass flooring that proffer a dizzying view of the ant-like people walking on the ground far below.
This level also hosts restaurant 58 Tour Eiffel; menus lunch €37.20, dinner €93.70-113.70; h11.30am-4.30pm & 6.30-11pm).
Not all lifts stop at the 1st floor (check before ascending), but it’s an easy walk down from the 2nd floor should you accidentally end up one floor too high.
Views from the 2nd floor (115m) are the best – impressively high, but still close enough to see the details of the city below. Telescopes and panoramic maps placed around the tower pinpoint locations in Paris and beyond. Story windows give an overview of the lifts’ mechanics, and the vision well allows you to gaze through glass panels to the ground. Also up here are toilets, a macaron bar and Michelin-starred restaurant Le Jules Verne.
Views from the wind-buffeted top floor (276m) stretch up to 60km on a clear day, though at this height the panoramas are more sweeping than detailed. Celebrate your ascent with a glass of bubbly (€12 to €21) from the Champagne bar (open noon to 10pm). Afterwards peep into Gustave Eiffel’s restored top-level office where lifelike wax models of Eiffel and his daughter Claire greet Thomas Edison.
To access the top floor, take a separate lift on the 2nd floor (closed during heavy winds).
Every hour on the hour, the entire tower sparkles for five minutes with 20,000 6-watt lights. They were first installed for Paris’ millennium celebration in 2000 – it took 25 mountain climbers five months to install the current bulbs and 40km of electrical cords. For the best view of the light show, head across the Seine to the Jardins du Trocadéro.

艾菲尔铁塔是巴黎的标志性建筑。以其设计师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔（Gustave Eiffel）命名，Tour Eiffel是为1889年的世界博览会（World Fair）而建。这需要三百名工人，250万铆钉和两年的不间断劳动力来组装。建成后，该塔成为世界上最高的人造建筑（324米或1063英尺） - 这一记录一直持续到纽约克莱斯勒大厦（1930年）完工。作为现代时代的象征，它遭到巴黎艺术和文学精英的强烈反对，而一些巴黎人嘲笑它的“金属芦笋”最初定于1909年被拆除。它只是因为证明了新一代无线电报科学所需的发射天线的理想平台。
一直到二楼（步行或乘电梯），从那里升降到顶层。婴儿车必须折叠在升降机中，并且不允许您携带大于飞机舱尺寸的行李或背包。
提前在线购票通常意味着您可以避开售票处的巨大队列。打印机票或在智能手机屏幕上显示。如果您不能提前预订门票，请在旺季等待一个多小时。
楼梯门票不能在线预订。它们在南支柱上出售，在那里也可以进入楼梯：攀登包括360步到一楼，另外360步到二楼。
如果您预订任何一家餐厅，您可以直接进入电梯。
在塔的三层楼中，第一层（五十七米）拥有最多的空间，但是最不令人印象深刻的景观。玻璃封闭的PavillonFerrié设有一个沉浸式电影以及一个小型咖啡馆和纪念品商店，而外部走道则设有发现电路，帮助游客了解塔楼的巧妙设计。查看玻璃地板的各个部分，可以看到远在地下的蚂蚁般的人走路的令人眼花缭乱的景色。
这个级别还有58 Tour Eiffel餐厅;菜单午餐€37.20，晚餐€93.70-113.70;晚上11:30至4:30和下午6:30至11:00）。
并非所有的升降机都停在一楼（在升序前检查），但如果您不小心将一层楼高得太高，那么从二楼开始就很容易走。
从二楼（115米）的景色是最好的 - 令人印象深刻的高，但仍然足够接近，以了解下面的城市的细节。塔楼周围的望远镜和全景地图精确定位了巴黎及其周边地区。故事窗口概述了升降机的机械结构，视野很好，可以让您通过玻璃面板凝视地面。此外还有厕所，马卡龙酒吧和米其林星级Le Jules Verne餐厅。
在晴朗的日子里，风力冲击的顶层（276米）的视野可以延伸到六十公里，尽管在这个高度，全景图比详细的更清晰。从香槟酒吧（中午至晚上十点）用一杯起泡酒（12欧元至21欧元）庆祝您的上升。随后窥视古斯塔夫·埃菲尔（Gustave Eiffel）经过修复的顶级办公室，艾菲尔铁塔和他的女儿克莱尔（Claire）的栩栩如生的蜡像迎接托马斯爱迪生。
要进入顶层，请在二楼单独乘电梯（在强风时关闭）。
每小时一小时，整个塔楼闪烁五分钟，拥有20,000个六瓦灯。它们首次安装于2000年的巴黎千禧年庆典 - 二十五名登山者花了五个月时间安装了当前的灯泡和四十公里的电线。若要欣赏灯光秀的最佳景致，请穿过塞纳河前往Jardins du Trocadéro。
