The Eiffel Tower in Paris is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world and attracts millions of tourists every year. At 300 meters high, it was the tallest structure in the world when it was completed in 1889. It is a prime example of engineering masterpieces of the 19th century and was originally built for the World's Fair. The tower offers viewing platforms on three levels, from which you have a unique view of the entire city. In clear weather you can see up to 70 kilometers away. In addition to the views, the Eiffel Tower is also home to restaurants and shops that make for a complete experience. Particularly interesting is the light show that takes place every evening and bathes the tower in a glittering light. The Eiffel Tower is not only an impressive structure, but also an important symbol of French culture and history. It's worth a visit to experience both the architecture and the impressive history up close.
