BLACKPOOL TOWER

The Blackpool Tower is one of the UK’s most recognizable landmarks. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it opened in 1894 and has served as the centerpiece of the town’s seafront for over 130 years. Standing at 158 meters (518 feet) tall, it was the tallest structure in the British Empire when it first opened.

Unlike its Parisian inspiration, the Tower is not a standalone structure; its base is housed within a massive red-brick building that contains five distinct world-class attractions.
