Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is an iconic monument situated on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. At over 300 meters tall, the tower was built as a temporary structure in 1889 for the World’s Fair. The tower has become a symbol for the city of Paris and for France as a whole. Located near the banks of the Seine, the Eiffel Tower is one of the most-visited monuments in the world, by travelers and locals alike. At the first, second, and third levels of the tower, visitors can take in breathtaking 360 degree views of the Paris skyline. Popular activities include dining at the restaurants at the tower, such as the 58 Tour Eiffel on the first level, or attending the Exposition Eiffel at the second level. The Champ de Mars, surrounding the Eiffel Tower and one of the largest green spaces in the city, is a great place to take a picnic and gaze at the tower. And, of course, you can’t miss the gorgeous lights for which the tower is famous. Whether you’re into history, architecture, art, or just looking for the perfect photo op, the Eiffel Tower is a must-see when visiting Paris.
