Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower, which was opened back in 1889, is the most striking landmark in Paris. It is known all over the world as the symbol of the capital of France. It is named after the inventor Gustave Eiffel, who simply called it a 300-meter tower. In fact, when he opened it, he didn't even know about his future fame.

At that time, the Eiffel Tower served as the site of the famous Paris exhibition, after which it was planned to demolish. But Eiffel comes up with the idea to open a meteorological station at a height of 300 meters. From that moment on, she served a practical purpose. Here, on one of the levels, artists equipped themselves with panoramas, photographers worked here, and parachutist inventors also loved this place. There was also a restaurant in this huge structure and the office of Gustave Eiffel himself. It was possible to climb from the first to the last level thanks to the elevator. Thanks to the exhibition and other local events, the tower quickly paid off and became a fairly profitable structure.

The Eiffel Tower is a 324-meter-high metal structure with an antenna installed. Its base is a pyramidal structure with large columns, at the end of which the first platform is located. Further up, another platform rises, after which an observation deck is set up at the peak height. The tower is equipped with various stairs and elevators. The Eiffel Tower must be visited both at night and during the day, when it takes on a completely different appearance. In the dark, the light from the tower's lighthouse shines brightly even ten kilometers away. Previously, the tower's lighting was experimented with and constantly painted in different colors, but now it has acquired a permanent patented coloring called "Eiffel brown", which resembles bronze.

Gustave Eiffel was just a brilliant designer, who did all the calculations so accurately that this structure, despite its height, is very stable.

At the very height of the tower, which is reached by 1710 steps, which is easy to climb thanks to elevators, there is an observation deck equipped with telescopes. The Eiffel Tower has the best restaurants in the city, cafes, buffets, souvenir shops, as well as the Eiffel Tour Museum.

Tourists, who visit here about 7 million a year, simply adore this place. It's impossible to visit Paris and not take a couple of pictures against the background of this amazing structure. Only the island of Mont Saint-Michel can boast of such popularity.

For an excursion to the tower, it is better to choose a day with clear weather and, walking along the Champs-Elysees, get to the main attraction unnoticed. Moreover, you will plan your trip in such a way that you can see the panorama of the city in daylight, as well as have a romantic dinner in the night light, enjoying the lights of Paris at night.
