You can enter quickly even if you buy a ticket a day in advance! Since it is a tourist attraction with many people, it seems convenient to prepare in advance! It is similar to the price of a local ticket, so there is no burden! It is super convenient because they send you a QR that can be used immediately after purchase.

A leisurely and quiet journey, the audio guide on the boat is played in turn, and you can have a general understanding of the scenery on both sides of the Seine.

It's so cold... .. But I think it's good for the amazing view! It's good because the explanation is in Korean so I can understand it! Next time, I want to ride it during the day~ It's good that you can enter with a QR code.

Very convenient to already have your tickets on hand. The security check will inform you not to use your selfie sticks when at the rooftop. At least they didnt ask me to throw them away unlike Disneyland Paris. Definitely go right before sunset in my opinion
