The Eiffel Tower is the most iconic landmark of Paris and a global symbol of France. Built in 1889 for the World’s Fair, this 324-meter iron structure offers spectacular views of the city from its observation decks. Visitors can take an elevator or climb the stairs to different levels, enjoy dining at the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant, or simply relax on the lawns of Champ de Mars while admiring the tower, especially when it sparkles at night with thousands of lights every hour.
