Guru:The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower that was built during the 19th century.
It was originally intended to be a temporary structure, but due to the tower's popularity, it has become permanent. The Tower is made of 18,038 pieces of iron and 2.5 million rivets. Each year, more than 7 million people visit the Tower and it has become one of the most iconic landmarks in France and the world. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and appears on France's 10-euro banknote.
Beyond the tower itself and its history, its surroundings have much to offer tourists, so the professional guide of a Free Tour like the ones we offer at GuruWalk will be of great help to not miss any detail of your visit.
The Eiffel Tower is 324 meters high and was designed by the engineer Gustave Eiffel. The tower was built in 1889 as the entrance arch to the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.
It took two years to build and 2,500 workers helped construct it. The tower weighs 10,000 tons.
Very close to the tower are the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees, of course both worth visiting.
The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris, France. Built on the site of an ancient Roman arch, it is the best known monument in Paris and one of the most famous French monuments. It was built as a monument to commemorate Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz and constructed between 1806 and 1836.
The Champs Elysees, meanwhile, is a major boulevard that stretches from Place de la Concorde to Place Charles de Gaulle.
Nor can we forget to visit the Trocadero Square.
It is a large public square with an equestrian statue of King Louis XIV in the center.
The Trocadero Square is one of the largest squares in Paris. The former name was "Place du Trocadéro", but it was renamed Place Charles de Gaulle in honor of France's first president after his death on November 9, 1970.
The square hosts many concerts and events, such as military and religious ceremonies, and from September to June serves as the site for the French presidential floral art exhibition.
