Paris is perhaps one of the most romantic cities in the world. Everything is here! Delicious croissants, snails with Burgundy sauce, coffee shops for every taste, huge clothing and perfume shops of luxury and democratic companies, clochards and the richest people in the world, the Seine and unique sights. Seeing Paris from the Eiffel Tower is one of the points of the tour program for almost every tourist.
Instructions
Step 1
The Eiffel Tower is one of the outstanding symbols of Paris. A metal structure, the most recognizable architectural landmark. Named after chief designer Gustave Eiffel; Eiffel himself called it simply "the 300-meter tower." The tower is currently 324 meters high, thanks to the installation of a new antenna in 2010. So what does it take to get on it?
Step 2
First, due to the dangerous terrorist situation in the world, you will have to go through two security checks. On the first one, the bags are examined and one should go through the metal detector. Next, you go to buy a ticket. Ticket prices are different. If you want to visit all floors of the tower, taking the elevator, you will have to pay 25 euros per person, if you are from 12 to 24, then the price of your ticket is 12.50 euros. When going up, you should change one elevator for another, and everywhere you will have to defend a small, and possibly a large queue. A ticket to the second floor costs 16 euros and 8 euros for ages 12 to 24.
Step 3
The second way to get to the upper floor is combined: an elevator + stairs. Cost: 19 euros and 9.50 euros (from 12 to 24 years old). Remember the main thing! You will have to move a lot and along rather steep stairs, but if you are confident in your abilities, then go ahead! Climbing the stairs to the second floor, from where an equally magnificent view of the city opens, will cost 10 and 5 euros, respectively, for age.
For your convenience, tickets can be purchased on the tower's website (https://www.toureiffel.paris/).
Step 4
Next, you should go to the second level of security. Here you go through the metal detector again, and bags and backpacks are X-rayed (I want to note right away that you can bring water, juice and even other liquids with you (but alcohol is harmful to your health). And now you are already at the "leg" of the tower. I advise you to visit on each floor, but the higher you climb, the stronger the wind will be, so you should take care of insulation both in winter and in summer. In addition to the beautiful view, the tower offers various options for spending time - shopping and gastronomic adventures.
Step 5
Shopping is pretty primitive. Your attention will be offered souvenirs, sweets, T-shirts, etc. But gastronomic "debauchery" can please the most discerning gourmets. Fast food is sold at the foot of the Eiffel Tower: hot dogs, hamburgers and hot drinks. The 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant will open its doors on the ground floor. A varied menu and a beautiful view of the Trocadero and Palais de Chaillot will be a big plus of visiting the Iron Lady. If you are discerning and willing to pay 400 euros for dinner, then you should head to the private elevator, which will take you to the center of the tower, on the second floor. Le JULES VERNE is located here under the management of restaurateur Alain Ducasse. This restaurant offers gourmet French cuisine. Remember! To visit, you should choose the right clothes, it is forbidden to appear in T-shirts, shorts and sportswear. At the top you will be greeted by "BAR A CHAMPAGNE". Enjoy a glass of champagne overlooking the city of lights for what could be more French chic! At the top of the tower, you can see Gustave Eiffel's office and his wax figure, and, forgive me for such a juicy detail, you can visit the restroom on the third floor (it is free, but it is advisable to leave a tip).
Step 6
After enjoying the view, having photographed everything that is possible, you can go down, but do not move the camera far away. The old devices of the tower control system will be presented to your attention.
Step 7
They say that being on the Eiffel Tower, there is one drawback - you do not see the beauty of the tower itself from the side.
