THE EIFFEL TOWER OF PARIS

Located on the Seine, where the river meets the sky, the Eiffel Tower stands tall, proud, and covered in iron latticework.

Originally intended as a symbol of French engineering prowess, the tower has since become an international symbol of...well, also French engineering prowess, but with a dash of whimsy.

Fun fact: the Eiffel Tower was built in just over 4 years, a feat that would be impressive if it were, say, a skyscraper in Dubai or something, but let's be real, it's just a big metal thing in France.

Visit the Eiffel Tower for a panoramic view of the city, or just to see how the French manage to fit so many tourists into one tower. Bonus points if you can spot the secret underground bunker where the engineers who built it are still trying to fix the elevators.
