Built for the 1889 World’s Fair, the Eiffel Tower rises above the Champ de Mars in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. You can take a lift to its three levels or climb the stairs to the second floor, with views of the Seine and the city’s landmarks along the way. The second level brings Paris’s monuments into closer view; the summit gives a wider panorama. For a different perspective, see the tower from Place du Trocadéro or the gardens below, then return after dark for its hourly sparkle.
