The Eiffel Tower - Paris

 



It's known that the city of Paris are beautified nowadays with the existence of the iconic Eiffel Tower. Little bit of the eiffel tower, it existed far beyond 130year ago and it has been a powerful symbol of the city. The structure symbolises the daring skilled engineers coming up with the design that stun the entire world and have been famous ever since. 

This is a myth - normally such mega structure will cause many lives but for building this tower it only caused 1 live out of 300 workers. 

Gustave Eiffel was responsible to build the Eiffel Tower in 1889. The elevator ride up to the tower takes roughly about 10-15mins however the ticket queuce nowadays and the waiting period can stretch up to 1-2 hours and longer during peak days. 

Since the Eiffel Tower compromise of 3 floors, where the 1st floor showcases museum exhibits, souvenir shops while the 2nd floor has eateries and other shops and at the top where most would like to see would be the observation deck where the entire view of Paris City can be seen, However the sharp icy wind still reminds me the shivers.
