Most visited place in Europe

Introduction

Europe is a continent with many beautiful places to visit. Here are the 10 most visited places in Europe:

1. The Eiffel Tower

 The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. Built in 1889, it was the tallest building in the world until 1930. It remains one of the most recognizable structures from its construction, and one of its best-known landmarks.

 The tower is named after its designer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (1832–1923), who also designed other major buildings such as Mont Saint-Michel and Notre Dame Cathedral. Construction started in 1887 and continued through World War I, with about 20% complete at this time due to lack of funds during a period when many Parisians could not afford to travel abroad or visit museums/galleries

2. The Colosseum

  The Colosseum is a huge amphitheatre in Rome, Italy. It was originally built in AD 72 under the emperor Vespasian and is the largest amphitheatre ever built.

  The Colosseum was used for games, animal fights and as a venue for gladiatorial combats where people could witness bloody battles between criminals or slaves who were often killed in these games.

  It's also known as "The Flavian Amphitheatre" after its construction by emperor Vespasian during his term (69-79 AD).

3. The Louvre

  The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world. It is located in Paris and houses many treasures from Ancient Egypt to Renaissance paintings, as well as sculptures from Greece and Rome.

The building itself was constructed between 1989 and 1991 by Joëlle Doyen, who also designed the new glass pyramid at Centre Pompidou (Paris). The museum consists of four wings: Greek & Roman Antiquities; Egyptian Antiquities; Islamic Art and Decorative Arts; Medieval & Renaissance Artwork.

  The first wing contains many classical pieces of art including statues from Greece, Rome and Egypt; vases made out of stone or pottery; bronzes such as that of Alexander the Great which was originally excavated in Turkey but later moved because its reputation meant it would be looted too easily if left where it was found...

4. Notre Dame Cathedral

  Notre Dame Cathedral is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in Paris. It was started in 1163 and completed by 1250, making it one of the oldest churches in continuous use today.

  The church has been destroyed and reconstructed several times over its history; its current appearance dates from 1675-1680 when Louis XIII commissioned Mansart's work on it. The facade was built by architects Jacques Lemercier and Claude Nicolas Ledoux between 1762-1769 who added some ornamentation to their design including sculptures by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1751).

5. Buckingham Palace

  If you're looking for the most visited tourist spot in Europe, this is it. Buckingham Palace is the official London residence of the British monarch. It has been called "the most famous house on earth" and was featured in many movies over the years, including The King's Speech and The Queen.

  The palace itself has been there since 1703 when George I moved his court from Hanover to London. However, it wasn't until 1837 that Queen Victoria took up residence there after purchasing additional property that had been previously occupied by Prince Albert (later King Edward VII). Today, Buckingham Palace remains one of London's most popular attractions for visitors from around the world who come every year to see where royalty lives!

6. Big Ben and Parliament

  If you've ever been to London, there's no doubt that you've seen Big Ben. It's the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London. The tower stands 128 feet tall and weighs 10 tons!

  The idiom "Big Ben" was coined by Sir Charles Barry when he designed London's Clock Tower in 1858-1859 with its famous clock face that still bears his name today (though it has since been altered).

  The Palace of Westminster is not only home to Parliament but also houses many other important institutions such as HM Treasury, Bank Buildings and Prime Minister’s Office which each have their own entranceway leading into what looks like a large old castle or palace building; this gives visitors an idea about how impressive this place really is!

7. Tower of London

  The Tower of London is a royal palace in London. It has been the place for coronations and other state ceremonies since the 12th century. It was built by William Rufus on an island in the River Thames, which separates it from the City of London.

  The Tower was originally known as Lanthorn Tower after a large lantern that stood on top of its keep (a small fortified tower). In 1078 it became known as Lanthebrun or White Hart Castle after Edward III installed his wife Isabelle at its heart; however, this name eventually fell out of use over time and today it's simply called The White Tower or 'the' White Tower'.

  The most famous feature within this history-soaked fortress are its ravens - there are actually two species within: Graceful Ravens and Common Ravens!

8. Musée d'Orsay

  Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France. It is located on the left bank of the Seine in the 7th arrondissement, or district, of Paris, on the Rue de la Légion d'Honneur.

  The museum was originally called Palais du Louvre and it opened to the public on 6 October 1889 after being built by Emperor Napoleon III who had wanted it to be named after himself. The cost exceeded his expectations so he had plans drawn up by architects Jules Hardouin Mansard and Jean-Pierre Hautecœur that included a cast-iron arch dating back to 1837 known as "Le Pont Alexandre III" which spans over one side of its façade (on both sides).

9. Acropolis of Athens and the Parthenon

  The Acropolis of Athens is the most popular tourist destination in Greece. It's home to many famous ancient buildings, like the Parthenon and Temple of Athena Nike.

  You can reach the Acropolis by metro, bus or walking; it's about an hour from central Athens. If you want to maximize your time at this site, book online ahead of time—it’s cheaper than buying tickets in person and much easier than trying to navigate through ticket booths during high season (June-August). You may also want to bring some cash with you since ATMs are few and far between here compared with other places on this list!

  The Parthenon is easily recognizable by its soaring columns that support its roof structure; these same columns have been used as symbols throughout Western art history (including Michelangelo's David). Inside lies one of Greece's most important historical buildings: The Temple of Athena Nike was built around 447 BC as a temple dedicated solely towards Athena Nike herself but today serves as both a museum displaying artifacts related to ancient Greece culture along with being open for visitors who wish add something special into their visit here at one time during their stay abroad while still having access available 24 hours per day seven days per week year round regardless whether it rains outside where ever else might happen outside too!

10. Mont Saint Michel

  Mont Saint Michel is a small island that is located in Normandy, France. The island has a monastery and a Gothic cathedral. It was also declared as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979 because of its historical significance and architectural beauty. Mont Saint Michel has been used as a filming location for many movies like The Last Samurai (2003), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) and Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (2009).
