The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous icons in the world and is located on the banks of the Seine River in Paris, France. This prominent structure is made out of iron and is built on Champ de Mars. The tower got its name from the engineer who built it and it is the tallest building in the entire city. It is one of the few places in the world that is visited by more than 200,000,000 tourists since its construction in 1889 and it generates more revenue than any other monument in the world.
The tower was constructed in just three years and its initial purpose was to broadcast radio signals. It stands 1,063 feet high with a 79-foot antenna and weighs around 7,900 tons. During the time the Eifel Tower was made, many people were surprised and shocked to see its daring and intrepid shape. The engineers who were making an effort to create it were accused of trying to do an experiment. But the engineers were sure and confident of what they had in mind. They also understood the forces of the wind and knew that the structure would support stand up to the gusts. Their persistence finally paid off in 1889 when the tower’s construction was completed and it stood tall as one of the largest structures in all of Paris.
The tower has two restaurants located on the first floor. There is built-in lift that can take visitors to the top floor to witness the marvelous view of Paris, France.

I went to Paris 3 months ago, when it was spring, picnic-ing in front of eiffel tower and feel the spring breeze and just lay still there and when it comes at night, try some bistro near eiffel tower while you were enjoying a bottle of wine, therefore u could see the light attractions for every 1 hour from the eiffel tower. Try parisians escargot! Laduree macaroons! Shop at champs-elysees! Get lost with the tourist map and take a chance to explore paris all by yourself! Take metro (subway train) or walk around or bus around. You’ll be amazed and it was probably the must thing to do there! Au revoir 😉
It is a good memory of that time. wonderful (QAIS FROM METRO STELL MILLS DAR E SALAM,TANZANIA)
