How to get there:
Metro: M1 / M2 / M6
Charles de Gaulle - Étoile
However much of a hurry you are in, do NOT try crossing the traffic circle round
the Arch (traffic is insane!) but use the underground tunnel on the Avenue de la
Grande Armee side of the circle. You can also access this tunnel from the Wagram
exit of the Metro.
The 360 degree panoramic views from the top are incredible: You will spot the
Eiffel Tower, the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral, Sacre Coeur, Les Champs
Elysees,...
The goodnews is that there are almost noqueues! Simply gothere and decide spon-
taneously if you want to go to the top or not without the need to pre-book a ticket
Sunset and Night-time might be the best times to take some amazing pictures
This is not only one of the most popular destinations for tourist, but also for scam-
mers and beggars: Ignore them or just say no and continue your way
