If you can find tickets to see the Eiffel Tower summit, you should 100% go up to see it. Absolutely. The views of Paris from that height after ascending the tower on a glass elevator are unparalleled. If you go to the summit in the day, we recommend spending around 2 hours at the tower and consider eating a meal there.
You needn't ascend the Tower twice, but you'll definitely want to see it at 10 p.m. when the lights sparkle. A good time to ascend the Tower is shortly before twilight, so you can experience it at sunset and also after dark.

As the Eiffel Tower is an unmissable tourist attraction, lines are usually massive. You may get there early, but it is highly likely that most tourists will have done the same. The waiting time can be 30 minutes to an hour, but during peak tourist season, wait time can go up to three hours.
From the 2nd floor you take another lift which takes you to the top of the Tower. We strongly recommend a visit to the 1st floor where there is a great visitor experience with cultural and entertaining displays to deepen and enhance your experience at the Eiffel Tower.
Saturdays and Sundays are the busiest days of the week. When it is not peak season, school vacation or a public holiday, attendance is usually lowest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The Eiffel Tower is open on Tuesdays, unlike museums in Paris.
Unless weather conditions or special safety considerations prevent it, you can visit the tower up to midnight from mid-June to early September and up to 11:00 pm the rest of the year.
Dining at one of the Eiffel Tower's two restaurants is a unique experience that is well worth discovering. Here we'll tell you all about the legendary Le Jules Verne restaurant and the truly Parisian Madame Brasserie.
The peak experience is halfway down.By all means, go to the top if you have the time (skip it if your schedule's tight). But I prefer to linger on the second floor: For me, the best views are from this middle level — high enough to see all of Paris, but low enough to pick out distinguishing landmarks.
The Tower lights and beacon are lit up every evening from dusk until 11.45pm. As soon as it gets dark, the Eiffel Tower's golden lighting switches on automatically within less than 10 minutes, thanks to light-sensitive twilight sensors. Simply check an almanac to find out what time the monument will light up.
Yes, you could probably do those all in a day, especially if you don't intend to linger for hours at the Louvre, which it's entirely possible to do. But if you have 9 days in Paris it would make more sense to group things more logically, instead of criss-crossing Paris to get from one thing to another in a single day.
We advise you to visit the Eiffel Tower at off-peak times. The number of visitors depends on the time of the year, the weather conditions and the day of the week but queues are usually shorter in the mornings and in the evenings. You can choose to visit the Eiffel tower during the day or at night.
9:00 am to midnight from mid-June to early September. 9:30 am to 11:00 pm the rest of the year (closing time is pushed back to midnight over Easter weekend and spring break)
If you want to go to the top, stairway + lift tickets allow you to climb the Tower on foot up to the 2nd floor, and then take the lift up to the top, for a sporty and heady experience.
Visiting time to the Eiffel Tower is not limited. However we recommend that you plan sufficient visiting time at the end of the evening (i.e. around 1 1/2 hours for a visit to the 2nd floor and 1st floor and 2 1/2 hours for a full visit up to the top).
Is it worth going up the Arc de Triomphe? It depends. If you want a bird's-eye view of one of the city's most celebrated streets, it's amazing for photos and a lovely panorama of Paris. But if you're short on time — say, you have less than hour in the area — even a short walk around the base is fun.
To see the city's top tourist attractions with fewer people around, aim to visit on weekday mornings. Avoid booking with major tour companies, buy tickets that allow you to skip the line, and walk instead of squeezing onto public transportation. Paris is best enjoyed on foot anyway.
You can leave the transit area (and airport) but you'll have to clear security and-or immigration again on your way back into the terminal. Citizens from certain countries leaving the transit area may need a visa. Please ensure that you comply with entry & visa requirements.
