Built by Gustave Eiffel in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle, the Eiffel Tower is 300 m/984 ft tall. At the time it was built, it was the world's tallest free-standing structure.

There is an entrance fee of between €4.10 and €10.70 for adults and between €2.30 and €5.90 for children, depending on which floor you wish to visit by elevator.
