Eiffel Tower

The iconic Eiffel Tower is a must-see when visiting Paris, France. Standing at 324 metres, this metal lattice tower is the most-visited paid monument in the world. Built as an end display for the 1889 World's Fair, it offers a magnificent view of the entire city of Paris and its many monuments from the top of either the first or second levels. There is also an observation deck at the top of the tower that visitors can reach with lifts. There are restaurants on the first and second levels, and there are shops, exhibits, and educational facilities on the ground level. Visitors should note that entrance tickets to climb the staircases or take the lifts to the top levels can be purchased at the Eiffel Tower ticket office. Additionally, the Tower is well-lit at night, which is a wonderful time to visit and photograph.
