    Garden with small ponds and a large green area. You should definitely walk through the small garden to find a nice spot for a photo.

      Completed by the French architect Gustave Eiffel in 1889, the tower was a huge success from the start, although not to everyone's taste. Even before construction began, a group of prominent French artists and academics discredited the idea as completely useless, even monstrous. Despite this, in 2015 the tower turned out to be the most visited paid landmark in the world, with almost 7 million visitors that year alone.

      There are several reasons why the tower is so popular. For starters, the entire wrought iron structure is completely transparent so you can literally see it from one end to the other. Second, unlike some other skyscrapers, the tower is for visitors only and nothing else. And finally, in Paris, where tall buildings are still scarce, the bird's-eye view from the top of the tower is truly unique and truly breathtaking. Standing there, you will have no difficulty seeing all the most important sights of Paris, such as the Louvre, the Grand Palace, Montmartre and the Arc de Triomphe.

      Moreover, the full Eiffel experience is not just limited to climbing the tower itself, but can also include picnicking nearby or exploring the nearby Champ de Mars. Plenty of benches, a grassy lawn and surrounding shops selling all sorts of snacks, drinks and ice cream make for a totally comfortable experience. The proximity of the Seine, quietly and majestically rolling its waters, also adds charm.

      Tip:

      Be sure to bring warm clothes as it can be much colder at the top, especially when it's windy.

      During the day, if it's hot, take an umbrella with you for some shade and plenty of water.

        The Champ de Mars is a peaceful garden located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. At the opposite end of the tower is the imposing Military School.
