The Eiffel Tower welcomes about 6 million visitors a year and makes about €82 million ($87 million) in revenue. About €13.7 million ($14.5 million) is spent on upkeep. The renovation plan would raise that to €20 million ($21 million).

Eiffel Tower – Description

The tower is 300m high; antenna up to 324m.

Tallest building globally until the Chrysler Building was completed in 1930.

This has to be the most famous structure in Paris, an early skyscraper that was not liked by many when built but now symbolises Paris, and France, to the world.
