FAQ
The Eiffel Tower was originally constructed as the entrance arch for the 1889 World's Fair (Exposition Universelle) in Paris, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It was intended to be a temporary structure, designed to showcase France's engineering prowess and industrial innovation on a global stage. Despite initial controversy over its design, it quickly became an enduring symbol of Paris and a monumental landmark.
The Eiffel Tower stands 330 meters tall, including its antenna, and held the record for the world's tallest man-made structure for 41 years. It is built from 18,038 pieces of wrought iron, fastened together by 2.5 million rivets. Gustave Eiffel's company designed it to withstand strong winds, allowing it to sway only a few centimeters. The tower's height also fluctuates by up to 15 cm due to thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
From the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower, visitors are treated to stunning panoramic vistas of Paris. You can clearly identify iconic landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and the winding River Seine. This level also provides souvenir shops and dining options, making it an ideal spot to capture memorable photographs and fully appreciate the vastness and beauty of the Parisian cityscape.
For personal, private use, photography of the Eiffel Tower is generally permitted both during the day and at night. However, for commercial use, nighttime images of the illuminated Eiffel Tower are subject to copyright by the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE). Visitors are encouraged to be considerate of others and avoid using large tripods in crowded areas to ensure a pleasant viewing experience for everyone.
