Basic packing
Transport and entry restrictions
Eiffel Tower baggage
Leave large luggage elsewhere; do not assume an onsite cloakroom. Check prohibited items and bag conditions before booking.
Eiffel Tower — visitor practical guide and baggage Checked:Flights: power banks
Keep power banks in cabin baggage, protect terminals and prevent damage; remove them if a bag is gate-checked. FAA guidance uses 100Wh as the general lithium-ion battery threshold. Your airline may impose stricter power-bank quantity, capacity, use and charging rules; verify your actual carrier before travel.
FAA PackSafe — lithium batteries Checked:Flights: cabin liquids
At standard US TSA checkpoints, ordinary cabin liquids use containers no larger than 100mL in one clear quart-size bag. Departure and transit airports can have different rules and exceptions, including medicines, infant supplies and duty-free purchases. Check your actual airports; ship rules are separate.
TSA — travel checklist Checked:Questions before you pack
Does a plug adapter make a Japanese appliance usable?
Check the device’s input voltage and 50Hz support as well as plug shape. Do not directly connect Japanese 100V-only heating appliances; consider accommodation equipment.
What should I check for entry?
Visa requirements depend on nationality, passport and purpose. Non-EU travellers should check official passport issue-date and remaining-validity requirements and their own entry conditions. Recheck EES/ETIAS applicability and current operation before departure; a ticket does not establish entry eligibility.
Is rain protection useful in summer?
Rain is possible in summer. Pack compact rainwear and adjust to the daily forecast.
Can I take a large suitcase to the tower?
Plan to visit without large luggage; check official bag conditions and the absence of a cloakroom.

Local travel notes
An editorial guide, not a trip report
Editorial recommendationThese packing suggestions draw on official information, not first-hand use. Photos illustrate the destination independently of the text, not evidence of a visit. Travel dates, costs and party size are unspecified. “Essential” is a priority for the assumed activity, not an obligation for everyone.
Separate routes, bookings and tickets
Editorial recommendationA route display is not a ticket. Check the ticket type and storage compatibility, and complete loading after purchase. Venue admission bookings need a separate check.
