Where? Paris in France

Visitors per year: about 7 million

We have put THE icon par excellence in our number 1 spot: the Eiffel Tower. It’s hard to believe that it used to be hated. Today, everyone knows and loves the “naked steel tower”.

Many tourists even travel to Paris just for the Eiffel Tower. It may not be the most visited on our list of places, but it is still probably the most popular and best-known landmark in the world.

The Eiffel Tower has three levels that you can go up to. That is particularly worthwhile at sunset. The absolute highlight comes at night: every hour, the Eiffel Tower twinkles in flashing lights for 5 minutes.

Our tip for the Eiffel Tower: book a ticket for the second level. The view of Paris from there is super impressive and it is usually less busy than the top.
