Is the Eiffel Tower overrated ?
Categories: France, Most Popular || Tags: Eiffel Tower, Paris
I have to start with Paris! This is my favorite city…I just love Paris! Ok, ok…enough said about Paris…but how about the Eiffel Tower? Some people may suggest that it’s not worth visiting, but I disagree completely. I believe the Eiffel Tower is worth all the effort and cash required for climbing all the way to the top.

- Climb the stairs to the first level. It will give you a great workout but you get to see the tower’s structure real close.
- Take the elevator to the second level. Make sure you buy tickets before you sit in line for the elevator. It’s NOT free even though there are no signs. It’s really worth the price to climb to the top level.
Climbing in the Eiffel Tower
I have climbed in the tower twice and I loved it every time. The first time, because I’m cheap when it comes to travel, I didn’t buy an elevator ticket to the top floor and I climbed the stairs to the first floor. I would’ve climbed stairs all the way to the top if there would be any stairs…but there aren’t. I had to take the elevator. However, I didn’t see any sign that said anything about any ticket. So, I stayed in line until I got to the elevator and they asked for my ticket. I felt really stupid…I guess I should have asked the people sitting in line. The second time I was sure to buy my ticket before sitting in line…of course I did

Yeah…it’s worth climbing in the Eiffel Tower
It is really worth it to go to the top of the tower and just look at the view all the way around. If it’s very windy you might actually feel the tower bending with the wind which is a very unpleasant feeling. However, to see Paris from that high altitude is just breathtaking and it beats any other feelings you might have going up.

Thanx for the comment Kylie…I wish I could visit Paris again as well. A good way to practice French is to try watch French news on http://www.tv5.org for example. At least that’s what I do to keep up with my French.
