Eiffel Tower

The famed Eiffel Tower came in fifth place. The tower was built in 1887 and named after Gustave Eiffel. It has over 2,665 steps to the roof. It is now an iconic landmark in the city and has been the world's highest building for over 40 years. However, if you share, sell or publish photographs of the Eiffel Tower at night without permission, it violates the law. This is because the light show of the tower was first implemented in 1985, which means it is protected as an artistic work under the copyright law of France.

French Quarter

New Orleans' French Quarter is the oldest part of the city and the world's seventh most famous attraction. It is known as Vieux Carre and features a French open-air market, the popular 2.5 acres Jackson Square and Bourbon Street, and the live jazz stage.
