Of all the major landmarks throughout the world surely none is as instantly recognizable by more people worldwide than the Eiffel Tower.
For a few brave souls the 1,665 steps to the top are a challenge to overcome, while for the vast majority a leisurely assent via the elevator is the way to go.
The tower is also stunning at night thanks to the astonishing figure of 5 billion lights that are mounted on it.
Since 1889 the tower has dominated the Parisian landscape and been a focal point for visitors looking for a stunning view of the city and a dramatic backdrop for their holiday photos.
During your visit you can simply enjoy the view or indulge in great food at one of the tower's two restaurants.
