Is the Eiffel Tower taller than the monument?

How Tall Is the Eiffel Tower? The Eiffel Tower is 984 feet (300 m) tall. It is taller than the Washington Monument (at 555 ft / 170 m) but shorter than the Empire State Building in NYC (1,250 ft / 381 m)!



Yes, the Eiffel Tower is significantly taller than the Washington Monument. The Eiffel Tower, located in Paris, France, stands at a total height of 330 meters (approximately 1,083 feet) when including its various antennas at the top. In contrast, the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., reaches a height of 169 meters (about 555 feet). This means the Eiffel Tower is nearly twice as tall as the famous American obelisk. When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to become the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held until the Chrysler Building was finished in New York in 1930. The difference is quite noticeable when comparing their architectural profiles: the Eiffel Tower's open iron lattice design allows it to soar much higher than the solid stone masonry of the Washington Monument.
