L’homme derrière la Tour Eiffel a été Gustave Eiffel, connu pour ses techniques de pont révolutionnaire de construction, tel qu’il était employé dans le grand viaduc de Garabit en 1884. Ces techniques constituent la base pour la construction de la Tour Eiffel. Il était aussi connu pour la construction de la Statue de la carcasse en fer de Liberty.

La structure a pris plus de deux ans. Chacune des pièces de la Tour Eiffel (environ 12.000) ont été conçus séparément dans le but de leur donner exactement la forme nécessaire. Toutes les pièces ont été préfabriquées et s’assemblent en ayant utilisé environs 7 millions de clous.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Bogota had a dismal reputation in the international media, due in large part to its murder rate, which was one of the highest in the region. Thanks to new government policies and massive policing efforts, Bogota’s crime rate has dropped 70 percent and the city is today considered safer than Washington, D.C., Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City.

Bogota offers an eclectic blend of modernity and history, with gleaming skyscrapers set amidst colonial buildings. Spanish and French colonial influences are seen throughout the city, which also has also been widely impacted by American-style architecture. The city is home to diverse cultural and artistic offerings, as well as an eclectic shopping scene and numerous gourmet food shops and restaurants.

Bogota’s modern transportation system is a well-planning and highly organized, making travel to and within Colombia’s capital city easy and efficient. If you are traveling to Colombia by airplane, you will arrive at Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport, South America’s largest airport, and able to handle more than 16 million travelers a year. Traveling from within Colombia is also convenient, since Bogota is a hub for national bus routes and has the largest bus station in the country. The station also offers international routes, including to Ecuador and Venezuela.

Once you have landed or arrived in Bogota, you will likely do most of your getting around by bus, which is the city’s primary and most prolific form of mass transportation. The city has two bus systems: the traditional system and the TransMilenio. The traditional system utilizes a combination of large city buses, mini-buses and mini-vans to transport passengers via city streets. The TransMilenio is a rapid transit system, which networks modern articulated buses operating on bus-only roads with smaller feeder buses bringing passengers from residential areas to the main grid. The TransMilenio, which is still being expanded, is expected to cover the entire city by 2030, at which point it will completely replace the traditional bus system.

Although the TransMilenio is Bogota’s most efficient transportation system, it is also the city’s most expensive one (other than private taxis), since the buses run on diesel and are subject to fare increases in accordance with rising oil prices.

For a less expensive and more environmentally friendly mode of transportation, consider renting a bike. Bogota has a city-wide network of bike paths (called ciclorutas), totaling more than 300 kilometers. Since construction of the ciclorutas began in 1995, bicycle use in Bogota has increased 5 times. Today, an estimated 400,000 bike trips are made daily in the city.

While Bogota does not have a commuter train, its so-called tourist train is popular both with visitors and the local population. On weekends, the tourist train rides from Bogota to the outlying neighborhoods of Nemocon and Zipaquira, which is famous for its salt cathedral. The route is 53 kilometers long and takes several hours (for the roundtrip experience).

However, the old things are often the best and whilst the Tate Modern is truly wonderful and the London Eye absolutely exhilarating, a day spent in the British Museum beats them all.

A vivid reminder of British imperialism at its height, a period when subjects of the crown would seek adventure and fortune in all corners of the earth, the British Museum stands proud as testimony to times gone by where the quest for knowledge drove all. Situated in Russell Square in the West part of Central London, the British Museum is best reached by the Russell Square Underground station, and accommodation in the vicinity is ample. Four star hotel accommodation in the area cost between 90 and 200 GBP per night, and 3 star hotels from around 60GBP per night. For the most part it is expensive to stay in London, but the travel system is so good that staying a little way away from the main attractions may often work out to be worth while. One should always consider and be aware of travel costs in London when choosing where to stay. London is divided into 6 zones from the centre out, and travel costs depend accordingly. An all day travelcard for zones 1 and 2 cost 5.30 GBP off peak, 1-4, 5.90GBP off peak, and 1-6 is 7 GBP off peak. Off peak is after 9.30 am every day.

The British Museum itself is located in Zone 1 and is in close proximity to shops, restaurants, and green areas making it a very pleasant full day destination. Like all museums in London, the British Museum is free to enter, but you will see donation boxes the contents of which help to keep the museum going.

The building which has hosted the British Museum since 1754 is Montagu House, considered in the seventeenth century to be one of the grandest buildings in the London area. By the nineteenth century it was apparent that the original building of Montague house that had been restored after fire 1686 was not big enough to contain the constantly expanding collection of the British Museum. The Townley Gallery was the first extension to be added and in 1808 became the home of the sculpture collection whose owner, Charles Townley, the wing was named after. It only lasted for thirty four years however when it was demolished and replace with the Smirk building. It was during these years that Sir Robert Smirke designed the central elements of the building, completing the Greek Revival style construction in 1852, in order to house what was going to be become the King’s Library; King George IV’s father’s personal library made as a gift to the people of Great Britain. It was Sir Robert Smirke’s brother who completed the project and finished the front hall and the central section of the south front, as well as the colonnade, forecourt and the railings. Further galleries have been added since, including King Edward VII’s galleries that were completed in 1914.

The highlight of the British Museum for many is the Parthenon gallery containing the freeze and pediment sculptures from the great structure in Athens. The entire of the ancient world is represented in the British Museum from Ancient Rome to Mesopotamia, Egypt to China. The contents is vast and to look at all the exhibits and artifacts would take weeks, so doing a little research before hand to decide on the specific areas of interest is recommended. As we said, entrance is free but there will be various exhibits at any one time that will cost to enter, usually around 12 GBP with concessions available. The website for the British Museum contains all the information necessary both in terms of practical visiting and the exhibitions and the artifacts themselves.
