The Eiffel Tower, opened in March 1889, showcases French engineering excellence and holds the title of the world’s most visited paid monument.
Although it faced initial criticism from artists who deemed it a 'hateful column of bolted sheet metal,' the Eiffel Tower became an instant success.
Constructed from 7,300 tonnes of iron and held together by 2.5 million rivets, the Eiffel Tower stood as the tallest man-made structure for 40 years.
Visiting the Eiffel Tower offers breathtaking views of Paris, with the experience of riding the lift being simultaneously terrifying and rewarding.
