Ейфелева вежа, Iron tower at Champ de Mars, Paris, France
The Eiffel Tower is a metal structure that rises 324 meters into the sky and is organized in three levels. From each platform, visitors can look out across the entire French capital and view the city from different heights.
The structure was built in 1889 for the World Exhibition celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the French Revolution. Although initially planned as temporary for 20 years, it became a permanent feature of the city.
The structure has become the world's symbol for Paris and France, appearing constantly in films, artworks, and photographs. People everywhere recognize this silhouette instantly and connect it to the city.
The structure can be reached by elevators or on foot, with opening times varying by season. Visitors should know that upper levels close earlier during cold months and lines can become very long during good weather.
The structure is regularly treated with large quantities of paint to prevent rust formation and protect the metal. This ongoing maintenance is necessary because the city's humid climate constantly attacks the metal.
