Eiffel Tower dimensions and floors
A daring engineer dream, the Eiffel Tower weights 7300 tons. But, the pressure it applies on the ground is only equivalent to the pressure of a chair with a man seated on it.
Now 324 meter tall with her television antennas, it towers above Paris, a city almost free of skyscrapers.
Spectacular air lifts bring you up to the first floor (58 meters above ground), second floor (115 meters), third and top floor (276 meters) with their fantastic 360° Paris views.

Paris Olympics Eiffel Tower competition venue
In 2024, the Champ-de-Mars, the park located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in the centre of Paris, will become a temporary outdoor arena. Its configuration and location will enable spectators, television audiences and athletes to enjoy an exceptional setting between the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire.
For Parisians, the Champ de Mars is a place to meet up and celebrate, regularly attracting thousands of people to share in events together, from the traditional 14 July firework displays to a Football World Cup Final. On a daily basis, people meet up there to enjoy some sport, take in the views or simply walk around the vast alleyways and lawns of this magnificent site, which is now one of Paris’ most iconic public gardens. To stage the beach volleyball and blind football events, a temporary outdoor arena will be built in 2024, enabling everyone to enjoy this venue’s magical setting.
Between the Ecole Militaire’s impressive facade to the south and the equally impressive Eiffel Tower on the River Seine side, the Champ de Mars will once again be a community space for meeting up during the Paris 2024 Games. It will be a key venue for the Paris 2024 Games, because, alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, it will host other events in the Grand Palais Overlay, a temporary structure set up on Place Joffre to the south of the site since 2021.
Capacity: 12,860 spectators. Beach Volleyball (women’s / men’s). Paralympic Games. Blind Football (men’s)
Eiffel Tower history
The Eiffel Tower was constructed in 1887–89 for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) to mark the 100 year anniversary of the 1789 French Revolution.
The contractor was Eiffel et Compagnie, a consulting and construction firm owned by the bridge builder, architect and metal expert Gustave Eiffel. Several hundred workers spent two years assembling the framework of the lattice tower, which at its inauguration in March 1889 stood nearly 1,000 feet high and was the tallest structure in the world, a distinction it held until the completion of New York City’s Chrysler Building in 1930.
In 1957, an antenna was added that increased the structure’s height by 65 feet, making it taller than the Chrysler Building but not the Empire State Building, which had surpassed its neighbor in 1931. Initially, only the Eiffel Tower’s second-floor platform was open to the public. Later, all three levels, two of which now feature restaurants, would be reachable by stairway or one of eight elevators.
