Monument gets its name from its designer Gustave Eiffel and is the tallest building in Paris. Over 200 million people have visited the tower since its opening in 1889 making it the most visited monument of him in the world. Along with the antenna 24 meters, the structure measures 325 feet tall. When its construction was completed in 1889 the structure was declared the tallest building in the world, a title which belonged until 1930 when it was built the Chrysler Building in New York. The tower building is now the fifth highest in France and the tallest in Paris. The tower weighs over ten thousand tons. 
Eiffel Tower has two restaurants: Altitude 95 on the first level (at 95 m height) and Jules Verne on the second floor. The latter is a gastronomic destination for connoisseurs.
The most visited place in Paris is always crowded and the queues at the entrance can be very large. In order to avoid as much as possible is recommended to try to visit it in the morning and during the week.
Few are those places or monuments that symbolize Paris better than the Eiffel Tower. Of course there are many other sights in Paris with a much richer history. There are places less crowded and more romantic. There are places for beautiful panoramic views (from the steps of Notre Dame atop tower Montparnesse or the Arc de Triomphe). Also it is not necessary to visit the Eiffel Tower itself as about anywhere in central Paris can see this architectural wonder.
If you visit the tower, you have to wait in line for one of the two elevators that go up to the top. They depart every eight minutes, however the waiting period can be very high. On the first floor you can see things about the history of the Eiffel Tower, you can send it to even turn (there is a post office there) or you can dine at Altitude 95 Both levels have souvenir shops and Internet cafes. At the top you can see the city and there are all sorts of guides that tell you what you see. But height is so great that it can be difficult to find things.
