Reservations:
Frankly, you'd be crazy to show up without a reservation. At
www.tour-eiffel.fr
, you can book an entry time and skip the initial entry line (the
longest)—at no extra cost. Book well ahead of your trip, as soon as you know when you'll
be in Paris (online tickets can sell out 2-3 months in advance; if there are no reservation
slots available, try the website again about a week before your visit as last-minute spots
occasionally open up). Just pay online with a credit card and print your own ticket.
