I got food poisoning eating there and the whole place smells of actual garbage
Very beautiful, shame the glass is up so you can’t go under it. And yeah there is some smells you could do without but it’s beautiful and the night lights are amazing
Azadi Tower is similar to Eiffel Tower.
The first time I visited the Eiffel tower I thought it an ugly piece of metal. The buildings adjacent to it a beautiful. I hope one day the tower rusts through and is scrapped.
We have a tower like that in the U.K. in Blackpool. These Steele towers are ugly.
It was originally supposed to have been dismantled. Radio communication is what saved it. In the early 20th century radio amateurs used the slowish 12wpm transmissions as a way of mastering Morse code. It still has a function here for radio TV and telecomms. An icon of Paris and of France
I saw the Eiffel tower before masstourism and the glass safety walls underneath it. It was still pleasant to visit 15 years ago. Today, not so much. Same thing with Rome.
