Straddling the pleasant garden of Champ de Mars, this symbol of Paris was the world's tallest building - at 321m - when it was built for the Exposition Universelle [World Fair] in 1889.
The Tour Eiffel is famous for its panoramic views and infamous for long queues for the lift. Try the shorter queue for night sights, or walk up the stairs to the platforms on the first [57m] or second [115m] levels for very fit travellers. From the top over 60km distance may be visible on a clear day, and the best time is at dusk.
There is a bistro on the first level and a restaurant on the second. The Tower is open everyday until 11pm, or until midnight in the summer.
