First stop in Paris? Climbing the Eiffel Tower, of course! I say climbing, because I took the 600+ steps to the 2nd floor. I am honestly not as fit as I would like to be. It was a lot of effort! In my defence, the line for the steps was only about 10 people, and it is cheaper than the elevator. The line for the elevator would have been about 1km winding in and around the four pillars at the bottom; so there are a lot people who are lazier and/or less fit than me. The trick is to take the stairs to the 2nd floor and then buy a ticket to the top from there (this is what I did and I waited in line for less than 5 minutes in total!) It was definitely worth all the effort – the view was amazing!! Oh, and they don't check tickets on the way down – so I caught the elevator all the way :)
