Paris, France
This 324 meter tall iron lattice tower was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel for 1889 World Fair. It was initially criticized by artists and architects for its design but has now become a global cultural icon for France. It once held the title for tallest man-made structure for 41 years. There are three levels for visitors with the first and second being restaurants and the third being an observation platform. The view of the city from the observation floor is tremendous as it provides an aesthetic scenic view of the whole city. Once done observing, people can visit the two restaurants Le 58 tour Eiffel and Le Jurnes Verne which is a gourmet one star run by multi-Michelin star Alain Ducasse.
