The Eiffel Tower - the landmark of Paris
With over 7 million visitors a year, the Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular tourist sights in the world. The Parisian cityscape is very much characterised by the iron lady from Paris and it is hard to imagine Paris without her. The steel tower is an absolute "must-see" on any visit to Paris: from there you have a gigantic view of the city and the surrounding countryside. A visit is worthwhile both by day and by night! While during the day you can enjoy a wide view of the surrounding countryside, at night you will be enchanted by the glittering lights.
Insider tip: generally one might assume that you have the best view from the top, but unfortunately, you may be a bit disappointed. The best view of Paris on the Eiffel Tower is actually from the second floor. Why, you ask? It's simple: unlike the 3rd floor, there is no fence on the observation deck - perfect for taking beautiful photos! Moreover, from the height of the second floor, the city shows itself from a more beautiful perspective and doesn't seem as small as from the very top.

The history behind the Eiffel Tower
A steel tower was to be built for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris; this became the birth of the Eiffel Tower that we know today. Gustave Eiffel's engineering office was already working on various designs in 1884. A few years later, the construction of the Eiffel Tower began. The Eiffel Tower was completed in record time a few weeks before the opening of the World Exhibition in March 1889. As the World's Fair coincided with the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, Gustave Eiffel climbed the Eiffel Tower via a staircase (the lifts were not yet in operation) and placed the French flag at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Incidentally, Eiffel kept his study near the top of the tower throughout his life to receive friends and acquaintances. And even today, there is a replica of it on the 3rd level.
Originally, the Eiffel Tower was to be dismantled 20 years after the World's Fair. Because at that time there was a lot of headwind around the building. Even writers, painters, sculptors, and architects protested against the modern building because, in their opinion, it would harm the beauty of Paris. But the Eiffel Tower was very popular, especially with tourists. Many tourists even came to Paris mainly because of the high tower.
Over time, the citizens also came to like the building and the Eiffel Tower became a Parisian landmark. Finally, it was decided to renovate the Eiffel Tower and not to dismantle it. In the meantime, the Eiffel Tower has become an integral part of the cityscape.
