Travel to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower so famous is impossible and no doubt the attraction is more symbolic of France and one of the most important monuments in the world. Paris has a magic hard to find in another city in the world and the Eiffel Tower contributes greatly to this.
There are many things that draw attention to the Tower: its height, lighting at night and especially this wonderful story building contains.
And for anyone not familiar with the history of this tower, here are doing a bit of it to increase their knowledge and 
increase their interest even more, if possible as far as possible.
Knowledge of the Eiffel Tower to the world goes back to 1889 when the World Fair was held celebrating the centenary of the French Revolution. As is understood, this celebration is very important for the French and as shown in this way and gold brooch for this celebration, they built this tower (which will take about five years since it began in 1884) and inaugurated March 31, 1889.
When the exposition ended, the initial idea was to destroy the Eiffel Tower (who could have imagined!) And the fact that it does not start is because the French army did some radio transmission tests prior to demolition thus achieving save.
But you were wondering who the author behind this wonderful work of art. Well, this famous tower was built by Gustave Eiffel, who with the help of Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, both engineers by profession, and architect Stephen Sauvestre gave life to this symbol of France with the help of 200 workers. And what many people do not realize is that the project to build this tower was introduced in other cities by Eiffel. One of those cities was Barcelona, but as we can see today, this project was rejected.
The majesty that is perceived in this tower is perhaps due to the amazing heights it has. The tower is 324 meters high and is very impressive to observe in situ.
But alturala eiffel tower which now owns the tower is not original with which to build. Initially this tower of 312 meters but then they installed satellite radio which led to its increased height to which now owns. Undoubtedly, another interesting fact in the biography of the Eiffel Tower! Today is the tallest building you can find in the city of lights.
And you can imagine how difficult it must be to keep this giant tower in good condition. Simply paint it turns out to be not an easy task. This is done every seven years to maintain its beauty and good condition. This requires the expert labor workers who know the sport of acrobatic climbing for the challenge. And they tell me the amount of paint needed to paint the tower? Well, for such a structure requires nothing less that about 50 tons of paint to achieve goes unnoticed over time on its face. Another curious fact is that the tower was initially yellow, brown color different from that currently owns. Deciding on the color of the tower is practically in the hands of people who might be interested in this matter, since in the first floor of the tower can go to the polls to decide the color to be used the next time you have to paint.
And you wonder how much a tower can weigh the size of the Eiffel Tower. Well, the answer to this question is that the Eiffel Tower weighs approximately 10 tons.
To appreciate the magnificence of this engineering is necessary to observe a bit away from it. The ideal point for this task is the esplanade of the Champ de Mars (Champ de Mars). If you look from where you can appreciate its beauty and majesty. We mentioned earlier that there is a first floor in the tower. Well, we should clarify that the Eiffel Tower has three levels open to the public. If you are in good shape, you can choose to walk, but if not, do not worry that there are lifts to help him in his task. The first level or platform of the tower is 57 meters high, the second level to 115 meters and the third at 276 meters. The countless visitors to the tower receives every day of the year and that the elevators are pretty slow cause long lines to get inside.
The city of lights, the name under which Paris is known worldwide, could not have a dimly lit tower. That’s why at night the view of the Eiffel Tower is perhaps one of the things that fall squarely in the memory of beauty and charm that it contains. It is certainly a sight to be seen by anyone who has the opportunity to visit Paris. But, how does this wonderful vision? Very simple. The Eiffel Tower is structured thousands of lights and about 300 reflectors that provide spectacular lighting, beautiful and amazing.
Top of the Eiffel Tower is a cost. This cost varies depending on the choice made at the time of upload. If you want to visit the first level of the tower, the elevator it cost around € 4.50 for adults and about € 2.50 for children (age 12). If you want to visit the second level then prices rise to € 7.70 for adults and € 4.40 for children and visiting the third level involves a cost of € 11.60 for adults and € 6.40 for children.
