Top Observation Decks in Ile-de-France

Dress for the weather, especially if you plan to go to the top. I was not ready for that chilly wind up there and it dampened the experience a bit.

I suggest getting your tickets online a day in advance to avoid those long lines. I thought I could just show up, but wow, the wait was crazy!

Bring a small picnic for the Champ de Mars park nearby. It’s such a chill spot and you can enjoy a fab view of the tower while snacking.

Check out the sunset view from the second level at around 8 PM if you can! The colors over Paris are just magical

I suggest visiting around sunset for the best views; the city lights up beautifully, and the colors in the sky are stunning. Trust me, it's worth the wait!

I think you should check out if they have any special exhibits before you go. I stumbled upon one that was incredible and totally unexpected!

If you're a coffee lover, don't skip out on their coffee; it’s some of the best I had in Paris!

Dress smart-casual; I noticed some people in shorts and flip-flops feeling out of place. It's a nice spot and a bit upscale, so keep that in mind.

If you're planning to just visit the observation deck, try to go right at 10 AM when they open to beat the crowds and snag the best spots.
