The Eiffel Tower is the world's most visited paid monument, the symbol of Paris and of France itself. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, the 324-meter iron lattice structure was initially controversial but became beloved over time.
Visitors can ascend by elevator or stairs to three levels, each offering unique perspectives of Paris. The tower sparkles with 20,000 light bulbs every hour after dark, creating a magical display visible across the city.
