Eiffel Tower, Paris: A Must-Visit Tour in Paris

The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world and a symbol of Paris, France. Standing at 330 meters (1,083 feet) tall, this iron lattice tower attracts millions of visitors each year. Whether you’re admiring it from afar, ascending to its breathtaking heights, or enjoying a romantic dinner with a view, the Eiffel Tower offers an unforgettable experience.

History of the Eiffel Tower

Built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel for the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair).
