Eiffel Tower, France

It's difficult to find someone who would be unfamiliar with the main attraction of Paris, the Eiffel Tower. This architectural landmark was named after the author, the architect Gustave Eiffel. The unusual tower with an arch was built for the opening of the World Expo, which took place in Paris in 1889. The structure served as the entrance arch. Initially, the tower, whose height is 324 meters, was planned as a temporary structure, but after the end of the exhibition it wasn’t taken away.

Today, the Eiffel Tower is considered the most visited of the paid-for sights in the world. It's also one of the most photographed buildings in the world. Each year, the symbol of Paris is visited by more than 7 million people. During its history, the tower was visited by a little less than 300 million people. Costs for construction of the grand tower were incredible. However, since the opening of the exhibition, it had such a success among tourists that costs were returned in less than two years.

Currently, one of the most famous towers in the world is essential for the practical usage. It is home to dozens of television antennas and radio equipment, cell towers, and even a unique weather station that monitors the radiation level in the city and the level of air pollution. Tourists can visit the tower at a reasonable cost. They can go up to its upper levels, ride vintage elevators, and admire the panorama of the city from dedicated lookouts. The ground floor of the tower houses the famous restaurant 58 Tour Eiffel, as well as some nice souvenir shops. Next - Christ The Redeemer
