Eiffel Tower

Says arriving tired from a long flight makes dinner and the tower right after landing too ambitious.

Named as the starting point of a suggested walk over to Trocadéro.

Found the night view of the tower from metro line 6 really pleasant, though others in the carriage weren't looking.

Suggests passing it on an evening walk on the way to Trocadéro.

Suggests a relaxed picnic near the tower as a memorable downtime moment.

Sees no point in repeat Eiffel Tower visits and suggests spending the time elsewhere in Paris.

Suggests viewing the tower afterward from outside, without bothering to climb it.

Says the tower can be seen from many angles while exploring, so a hotel view is unnecessary.

Says the tower is huge and usually packed; suggests picking a few photo spots in advance to limit walking.

Says the tower followed the same path, disliked early on and now embraced.

Likens the tower's art deco change to the pyramid, implying it also feels out of place.

Says upkeep is costly, but the arches could be restored within modern constraints; larger glass improves views.

Suggests arriving just before the hour to get in and catch the sparkle.

Recommends seeing the tower at night.

Says the author's description of the tower is lovely and that locals would not see it the same way.

Glad they went up once, but seeing the city from the Arc at night was better.

Prefers the view from the Eiffel Tower to the Arc, though skipping it frees up time.

Calls going up the Eiffel Tower a tourist trap.

Says with only a weekend, skip ticking off sites; enjoy Paris and treat landmarks like the tower as bonuses.

Loved going up on a first visit; enjoyed the close-up structure, the views and the history placards.

Worth seeing at least once; be ready for crowds and queues, or go outside holiday periods.

Went twice at night to watch the lights, bookending the trip.
