See, because more than 7 million people visit this iconic tower each year, to say it can get crowded would be an understatement. My advice? Go as early as possible. Skip those desired snoozes so your visit doesn't become a total time suck.

Although it opens at 9:30 a.m., I suggest getting there a tad bit earlier to be the first in line. Remember: you can always nap later! And, if possible, try to plan your visit closest to your arrival. This way, if there's severe weather or the lines happen to be too long, you can always go another day.
