Eiffel tower is one of the destination which I had visited in 1974. I visited again in 2010 . That time fees was less and it was per level 1st or 2nd or Top . Now its flat rate of Euro 13.50 or so per person irrespective to the height you want to climb. The lines were so long that we have to spend almost 2 hrs standing in que on 17th July 2010.  Lateron we knew that we could purchase the ticket on line also. The lifts were overcrowded and long que for going upto two floors. It was out of question to stand in que again to go to TOP  level in a smaller lift . We had come to see this tower or stand in que it as difficult to know . It was so much overcrowded that practically there was no room to stand and enjoy the most beutiful spot in the world.
