EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS

 

LOCATION : The Eiffel Tower ( French : La Tour Eiffel) is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de
Mars in Paris.  The tower is 324 metres (1063 ft) tall, about  the same height as an 81- storey building.

DESCRIPTION : One of the world’s most photographed tourist attractions, the Eiffel Tower presents an excellent photography opportunity for both day and night times. Visitors can ride the elevator to see incredible views of the city or dine in one of the two fine restaurants that are situated within the tower.



The tower has three levels for visitors, with restaurants on the first and second. The third level observatory's upper platform is 276 m (906 ft) above the ground, the highest accessible to the public in the European Union. Tickets can be purchased to ascend by stairs or lift (elevator) to the first and second levels.

The climb from ground level to the first level is over 300 steps, as is the walk from the first to the second level. Although there are stairs to the third and highest level, these are usually closed to the public and it is generally only accessible by lift.
