If
you are visiting Paris, you have to tour the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel
Tower is one of the most recognizable symbols ever built. However,
there really isn’t much to tour or learn about. The Eiffel
Tower was originally built in 1899 and was suppose to be a temporary
symbol for the 1899 Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair).
Somehow the Eiffel Tower managed to survive and grew to become the
Paris Icon that it is today. The tower is painted brown and in the
daytime it may be a bit of a disappointment. There are a number
of restaurants and shops inside the Eiffel Tower. Tickets to the
second floor and top floor can be purchased at the information office
at the base of the tower. You can expect a long wait for the elevator
and it gets a little confusing. However, the awe-inspiring view
of Paris is well worth it. In the evening, Paris wouldn’t
be Paris without the illuminated Eiffel Tower in the backdrop.
