Actually, they are lots of copies of Eiffel tower throughout the world. None of them is exactly the same and most of them are in different scale. The most alike is the Tokyo tower (same scale, different colors - red and white), then the scale models in theme parks around the world (Orlando, Florida, USA; Tianducheng, China;Las Vegas, USA; Shenzen, China). Also the cities named after Paris in different countries have their replicas of the tower (Texas, Tennessee, Russia...)

Here is the list of many similar structures around the world:

Replica at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, Nevada, United States.

Replica at Walt Disney World's EPCOT.

Replica at Tianducheng, Hangzhou, China.

Replica at Kings Island near Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.

Replica of Eiffel Tower on factory building at Satteldorf near Crailsheim, Germany.

Replica in Parizh village, Russia.

According to interviews given in the early 1980s Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau negotiated a secret agreement with French President Charles DeGaulle for the tower to be dismantled and temporarily relocated to Montreal to serve as a landmark and tourist attraction during Expo 67. The plan was allegedly vetoed by the company which operated the tower out of fear that the French government could refuse permission for the tower to be restored to its original location.[37]

Reproductions

As one of the most iconic images in the world, the Eiffel Tower has been the inspiration for dozens of duplicate and similar towers around the world.

• The Eiffel Tower was the inspiration for the Blackpool Tower in Blackpool, England. After visiting the Great Paris Exhibition in 1889, the towns mayor John Bickerstaffe commissioned the building of the tower, which has a very similar design and was completed 1894. The main differences are that the Blackpool Tower is approximately half the height of the Eiffel Tower and is not freestanding, the base being contained within buildings which house the Tower Circus. Both the Eiffel Tower and Blackpool Tower feature on the list of the World Federation of Great Towers
