Paris' Top 16
Eiffel Tower
1 No one could imagine Paris today without its signature spire. But Gustave Eiffel
only constructed this graceful tower - then the world's tallest, at 320m - as a
temporary exhibit for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Luckily, its popularity assured
its survival beyond the World Fair and its elegant art nouveau webbed-metal design
has become the defining fixture of the city's skyline. Head here at dusk for the best
day and night views of the glittering city, and toast making it to the top at the spark-
ling champagne bar.
