About This Landmark

In the heart of Paris, France, stands a symbol of innovation and artistry—the Eiffel Tower. This world-renowned landmark rises majestically against the Parisian skyline, capturing the imagination of visitors with its intricate iron lattice structure. Designed by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the tower initially faced criticism but has since become a celebrated piece of architectural brilliance.

Reaching 324 meters in height, the Eiffel Tower offers panoramic views of Paris, including the River Seine, Les Invalides, and the Champs de Mars. Visitors can ascend via elevators or, for the adventurous, the 704-step journey to the second level, where the city unfolds beneath them. At night, the tower dazzles with a light show, enhancing its romantic allure.

Aside from its architectural significance, the Eiffel Tower stands as a cultural icon—featured in films, literature, and art. As a gathering point for tourists, its base hosts beautiful gardens and cafés where visitors can relax and enjoy the ambiance.

Spring and early autumn are the best times to visit to avoid crowds and enjoy mild weather. Bringing a camera and comfortable shoes will enhance your experience. Whether enjoying a picnic on the grass or sipping champagne at the top, the Eiffel Tower provides an unforgettable Parisian experience.
