Eiffel Tower - Attractions in Paris

The Eiffel Tower, a major tourist attraction, is the tallest structure in Paris.

The Eiffel Tower is named after the man who designed it, Gustave Eiffel. Its construction began in 1887 and was completed in 1889. One of the most visited sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower is a magnificent piece of art. It was built to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution and has great historical significance.

The topmost platform offers a breathtaking view of Paris; however, the other platforms are also worth visiting for a spectacular sunset. Altitude 95 and Jules Verne, the two restaurants on the first and the second floor, respectively, are famous for serving excellent cuisines.

At night, the Eiffel Tower is at the peak of its beauty, with gold lights highlighting its beautiful steel framework.
