🗼 Eiffel Tower
Paris, France
Best time: April–June and September–October, with mild weather and long days
The symbol of Paris, built for the 1889 World's Fair. The summit looks over the whole city, and after dark the tower sparkles for five minutes on the hour.
Good to know
- Book on the official site as soon as tickets open; summit slots sell out early.
- Trocadéro and the Champ de Mars are the best spots for photos.
