Rising Above Paris: A Practical Guide to Visiting the Eiffel Tower

[Music] the Eiffel Tower is one of the most iconic landmarks in the world on a must-see attraction for any tourist visiting Paris if you are planning a trip to Paris and want to visit the Eiffel Tower for the first time it's important to know some practical information to make the most of your experience it is one of the most visited Patron monuments in the world with almost 6 million visitors every year so it's advisable to book your tickets in advance if you want to visit the top floor of the tower I recommend strongly that you buy your ticket from the official online ticket office you can buy your tickets online two months in advance up to three hours before the visit as you can see here online tickets for the summer months go out very quickly I shot this video on May 11th and for the first nine days of July there are only places left for the 7th and the 9th [Music] and in addition only for the second floor not for the top if you can find them I recommend buying tickets to the top the view is awesome and the second elevator ride is a thrill tickets are made available at midnight Paris time 60 days before the date of your choice if there are any available all you have to do is choose the time once the ticket has been purchased you cannot change it thus if you buy a ticket for the second floor you will not be able to change it nor buy a supplement for the summit on site [Music] thank you in summer expect the security check queue to be long if you haven't managed to find your ticket online that's not so terrible a very large number of tickets are sold the same day on site but then you'll have to queue for quite a long time at the ticket office attendance over the course of the day depends on the period of the Year weather conditions as well as the day of the week in general you will queue Less in the morning before 10 30 am or at the end of the day after 5 PM or even in the evening the ticket offices are located right under the Eiffel Tower after you've passed the security check and beware they're not the same if you want to go up the elevator or climb the tower on foot here is inside the Southwest pillar the lift that will take you to the second floor [Music] it's a two level elevator [Music] the elevator takes you directly to the second floor [Music] it is a bit crowded but we can start to see the great panorama in summer you'll be queuing a lot you'll get crammed in the lifts so it's a good idea to avoid bringing large backs or backpacks [Music] well there are too many people here let's get to the top floor [Music] yes you have to queue again for the next lift [Music] the Eiffel Tower is a once in a lifetime experience so forget the lines take your time and enjoy the moment after a 15 minute wait here we are above the top floor lift much smaller than the first one thank you [Music] foreign [Music] at the top there are two levels one interior unglazed the other in the open air [Music] [Applause] [Music] you can find some interesting information at the glaze level but the view is so much better Outdoors here we are facing south [Music] and now East this is the shoulder marks the park is named after the Campus Martius Marshfield in Rome a tribute to the Roman God of War the name alludes to the fact that the loans here were formerly used as Drilling and marching grounds by the French military in the distance the Montana's Tower is the tallest building in Paris after the Eiffel Tower of course we overlooked the north now [Music] [Applause] [Music] zoom in on the other Trio the loop with its glass pyramid and the awesome Museum Church on the top of Monmouth Hill the unvalid [Music] and a traveling shot from the grand palet to the Louvre via Alexander III bridge and the place de la Concord with its obelisk finally a view of the West in the distance la de France Paris business district [Music] [Music] [Music] we're now back on the second floor is it time to get your credit card out at the eye filter workshops the same view as before but from lower [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] Charlotte wants to walk down the stairs from the second to the first floor [Music] the Eiffel Tower has over a thousand six hundred steps to the top or to the ground so wear comfortable shoes that you can walk in [Music] of course you can still use the lift to get down we're now on the first floor foreign [Music] [Music] last lift to get back on the ground [Music] so third floor second floor or first floor [Music] what view do you prefer [Music] maybe a view from the ground [Music] in any case don't forget your camera the Eiffel Tower is the most photographed monument in the world so be sure to bring your camera or phone to capture the views one last tip don't be fooled by these companies which I won't mention who sell you so-called skip the line tickets for 100 euro ee 3.5 times the public price they are exactly the same tickets as the one you buy online on the official site and the guide who is going with your group will not have you be prioritized to take the lifts you will queue as everyone I hope you enjoyed this new video and that it will be useful for you when you're next in Paris stay tuned for the next ones [Music]
