Do you know how much you spend each day on lighting the Eiffel Tower?

Although some people do not make a point of visiting Paris one day, the fact is that the French capital is one of the most visited places in the world and the Eiffel Tower, symbol of the city, is currently the 13th most visited tourist spot on the planet.

Known for its beauty and the fact that it can be seen from various parts of the city, after a while French builders could not make buildings over 11 floors, the Eiffel Tower is also famous for its unassuming luminosity.

As you might imagine, maintaining the Tower is not exactly cheap, and for it to be the main attraction of the city at night too, huge investments in lighting need to be made.

Per year, it spends $ 1.12 million - the equivalent of $ 3.53 million - only with the lights of the monument. This corresponds to absurd $ 9.69 a day!

If you are wondering how this is possible, just be aware that there are 20, 000 light bulbs in the Tower structure, and that it takes 22 megawatts of electricity per day to keep it all lit. No wonder Paris is also known as the City of Light.
