Pros: Can say you've been there, but you could say that anyway.
Cons: Long lines
Summary: Welcome to France's best gimmick, the rust colored Eiffel tower. You can expect to stand in long lines, then have to mug your grandma to pay the entrance fee. The bragging rights to having been on the tower might make the trip worth it, though.

Pros: Beautiful at night
