10Best Says

One of the world's most popular and well-known sites, this tower is not only a must-see for visitors but Paris's signature landmark. Although the structure was poorly received when it premiered in 1889, it's now a symbol of great civic and national pride. In fact, visitors must have a reservation and then wait in line before taking the elevator to the observation decks on the 1st and 2nd Upper Floors. But from these views, seeing the city spread out below is breathtaking. At night, the tower becomes a beautifully illuminated sculpture. Gustave Eiffel, who designed the tower, also created the framework for NYC's Statue of Liberty. METRO: Bir Hakeim

Best Attractions & Activities: "Even with the security glass periphery now around the stately tower, it's still well worth visiting! Here's a tip: If you make lunch or dinner reservations at the brand new restaurant, Madame Brasserie, you get to jump the line. Well worth it and the restaurant is Top!"
