The Eiffel Tower is taller than the Space Needle. In fact, the Eiffel Tower stands at approximately 1,083 feet (330 meters) including its antennas, while the Space Needle measures about 605 feet (184 meters) tall.
The height difference can be attributed to the different purposes and designs of these iconic structures. The Eiffel Tower, completed in 1889 for the World’s Fair, was designed to be a remarkable observation point and a symbol of Paris. The Space Needle, built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, serves as a landmark and observation tower specifically for the city of Seattle.
In summary, while both towers are famous in their own right, the Eiffel Tower clearly surpasses the Space Needle in height.
