The Eiffel Tower, a beacon of light in the French capital, is ready to welcome the world for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. As an iconic symbol of Paris, this historic monument will witness countless international multi-sport events as the city gears up to host the 33rd Summer Olympics.
The Eiffel Tower, one of the most iconic attractions for tourists and athletes at the Paris Olympic Games 2024, is adorned with the five Olympic rings as the multi-sport extravaganza officially begins on Friday with a glittering opening ceremony. Standing tall at 330 meters, this historic landmark, once the world’s loftiest structure, will oversee a spectacular array of international multi-sport events.
Over 10,000 athletes from more than 200 countries will compete in 329 events across 32 sports disciplines. The Games, scheduled to commence on July 26 and conclude on August 11, will feature four new sports alongside the 28 traditional Olympic sports. The latest additions to the Paris Olympics include breaking, skateboarding, surfing, and sport climbing. Although the Paris Olympics officially begin today, the Football and Rugby Sevens events kicked off two days earlier, on July 24.
Near the iconic Eiffel Tower, a temporary outdoor arena has been built to stage the beach volleyball and blind football events. This arena promises an enthralling game experience with a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower.
Grand Palais Overlay, situated alongside the Eiffel Tower Stadium’s overlay arena, will host various other events. This temporary structure, set up on Place Joffre, will be dismantled after the Games. “That said, the monument will still be welcoming visitors in almost normal conditions. In July, the Eiffel Tower and the restaurants will be open every day, except for July 26, the day of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics,” stated La Tour Eiffel, the official website of the iconic monument.
The wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris will welcome visitors during the Olympics with the usual opening hours. La Tour Eiffel further stated, “E-tickets for visits during this period are available. To visit the Eiffel Tower, if online tickets are sold out, it will be possible to buy tickets at the Tower’s ticket offices on the day of your visit.”
The official website also noted that the Tower and the restaurants will welcome visitors every day, even during the Paralympics. From August 28 to September 8, normal operating conditions and visitor numbers will be maintained for the season.
As Paris prepares for the 2024 Olympics, the Eiffel Tower stands as a symbol of excitement and international camaraderie. Whether you’re an athlete, a tourist, or a local, the Tower’s dazzling lights and the city’s vibrant atmosphere promise an unforgettable experience.
