Top 13 Facts About The Eiffel Tower

My visit to the Eiffel tower started when we waited in line to pass through the security check. After the check my father went to th ticket office and bought the tickets to go to the top floor and tha is when we started our journey to climb up to the second floor which even my three year old sister could climb and it was over 600 steps ! At the seconed floor we waited in another line for half-hour and then took a lift to the top floor which is where i thought is was actually a radio station. I also forgot to mention that they gave us 2 brochures to have a treasure hunt. The weather was also marvellous at the top and at the bottem.
