📍 From Terrasse du Fécheray, France
The Eiffel Tower, an iconic symbol of Paris, stands proudly on the Champ de Mars near the Seine River. Designed by engineer Gustave Eiffel and completed in 1889 for the World's Fair, it was initially met with skepticism by some Parisians but has since become a beloved landmark. At 324 meters tall, it held the title of the world's tallest man-made structure until the completion of the Chrysler Building in New York in 1930.
Constructed from iron lattice, the tower's architectural design is both functional and aesthetic, showcasing the industrial prowess of the late 19th century. Visitors can explore three levels, with the first two housing restaurants and shops, and the third offering breathtaking panoramic views of Paris. The ascent can be made via elevators or for the more adventurous, by climbing 704 steps to the second level. The Eiffel Tower is renowned for its nightly illumination, a dazzling light show that adds a magical glow to the Parisian skyline. Special events, such as Bastille Day fireworks, further enhance its allure. Tickets can be purchased in advance to avoid long queues, and visiting at different times of day offers varied perspectives of this architectural marvel. The Eiffel Tower remains a must-see for anyone visiting the City of Light, embodying the romance and grandeur of Paris.
