Experience the Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel).
The Eiffel Tower is Paris’ most iconic symbol and a must-see for any visitor to France. Locally known as La Tour Eiffel, an engineer by the name of Gustave Eiffel built this impressive 324-meter monument for the 1889 World’s Fair to celebrate the centennial of the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower took two years, two months and five days to build, and it was never intended to be a permanent structure. Back in 1909 the Eiffel Tower was actually repurposed as a radio antenna, and the military used it to intercept enemy messages during World War I. You can experience the secret underground military bunker on our VIP Access Eiffel Tower Tour.
Today, the Eiffel Tower is visited by nearly seven million people each year. At night, it’s illuminated by 20,000 light bulbs, 5,000 on each side, that glow for five minutes every hour after dark. Over the years, daredevils have staged parachuting and bungee jumping stunts to defy gravity, including Franz Reichelt who met his demise in 1912.
The Eiffel Tower’s first floor has a new glass floor that extends 57 meters from the ground, and the second floor offers aspiring photographers even more stunning 360-degree views of the city. For a romantic Eiffel tower visit, take an evening tour and sip a cocktail at the champagne bar on the top floor or enjoy our Paris at Sunset: Champagne River Cruise & Eiffel Tower Visit. For a more casual daytime experience, make a lunch reservation at the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant.
You can reach the Eiffel Tower by train, bus, boat, bike, and car. But for the most authentic Parisian experience, choose a walking route that takes you on a journey through the picturesque city streets or along the peacefully-flowing Seine, like on our Classic Walking Tour.
