About the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is named after the engineer that designed and constructed it (Gustave Eiffel), was actually built for the 'World Fair of 1889' and incredibly, it only took two years and two months to construct! They started in 1887 and finishing it in time for the World Fair in 1889. It was built because it won a design competition! The French Government ran a competition to build a structure for the World Fair. Gustave Eiffel was one of around 100 submissions for the competition and it was his design that won, which is how it was then built!

It stands at 300 metres (984 feet) tall and when it was constructed, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world at the time. A record it held on to for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930!

The tower is made of iron and consists of three levels. Each level offers an observation deck, a small shop and a restaurant! The higher you go, in our opinion, the better the views get!
