Everybody knows the Eiffel Tower in Paris. People think that it is a symbol of the French capital. Lots of tourists come to see it during daytime and at night. The tower has the name of Gustave Eiffel — the engineer whose company built it in 1889. So the Eiffel Tower is fairly old. Now it is the tallest building in Paris and for more than 40 years it was the tallest building in the world. Visitors can walk up the hundreds of steps or go up in a lift to look at the French capital from the top of the tower. The Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow is one of the tallest towers in the world. It stands more than 540 metres high. Its building took five years. In 1967 the new tower sent out its first signals. The Ostankino Tower is one of the symbols of the Russian capital. You can often see it on postcards and in photos. Visitors of the Ostankino Tower can go up 300 metres in a lift and look at the beautiful city of Moscow. Tourists who come to Berlin, the capital of Germany, usually visit the Berlin Television Tower which is 368 metres tall.
