Eiffel Tower opens after three months, face coverings mandatory
The iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris reopened today to visitors after a three-month closure, the longest since World War Two, due to the Covid-19 pandemic
But the Paris monument isn't returning to normal operations just yet, said a BBC news report.
Visitor numbers will be limited, face coverings mandatory for anyone aged over 11, and everywhere above the second floor will be closed to the public.
To soak in the sights of the iconic monument, visitors will also have to use the stairs since lifts have been out of use until July 1.
The tower, completed in 1889, hosts around seven million visitors every year, approximately three-quarters of them from abroad, according to its website.
Meanwhile, one of the French capital's other famous landmarks, the Louvre is slated to reopen on July 6.
France lifted travel restrictions at European borders on June 15.
