There Are Two Ways to Get Up the Eiffel Tower: Smart or Stupid
If your time is worth anything (and I always assume my traveling readership has very valuable time), you must get a reservation to go up the Eiffel Tower. In this "phone movie" — looking down from the first level at the ground-level lines — the lesson is clear: Those who just show up waste lots of time. Those who book their entrance time in advance (easy at http://www.eiffel-tower.com/) scoot right in.
Rick Steves' YouTube Channel is a great place to watch more of Rick's "phone movies" — plus clips from his TV shows, interviews, lectures and other public appearances.
Want to see more of France? Watch Rick's eight TV shows on France — and dozens of other Rick Steves' Europe TV shows —on Hulu. Or, buy the DVD!
Still not enough? Nine of our 2012 tour itineraries spend quality time in France. Book one by Nov. 30, 2011 and save $100!
