	"text": "One of the most iconic experiences you can have in Paris.\n\nVisited in November and absolutely loved it. Even though it was a busy day, the entire area around the Eiffel Tower felt surprisingly relaxed and easy to navigate. The atmosphere is magic — standing underneath the structure and looking straight up is something photos never really prepare you for. The scale is unbelievable.\n\nI arrived early, and the queues moved quickly. Security was efficient and friendly, and the staff were helpful throughout. Once I got inside, the views from the different levels were incredible, especially from the top platform — Paris literally stretches out in every direction, with all the landmarks visible on a clear day.\n\nAt ground level, the park and riverside areas around the tower are perfect for photos. Everything is really well-maintained, and there’s plenty of space to sit, take in the view, and enjoy the moment. If you time it right, watching the tower sparkle on the hour is worth it alone.\n\nOverall, an unforgettable visit and absolutely worth doing, no matter how many times you’ve seen it in pictures. A real must-see.",
