The Eiffel Tower — la Tour Eiffel — rises 330 metres above the Champ de Mars in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Built between 1887 and 1889 for the Exposition Universelle, it welcomes about 7 million visitors every year, making it the most-visited paid monument on Earth.
Whether you plan to ride the elevator to the summit, climb the stairs to the second floor, or simply enjoy the tower from the Champ de Mars, this guide answers the practical questions: how much do tickets cost, when to book, how to avoid the queue, where the disabled entrance is, and what to bring to security.
