Is the Eiffel Tower taller than Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben)?
Yes. The Eiffel Tower, at 330 m, is taller than the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), at 96 m: about 3.4 times as tall.
The duel opens first in a practice round of ten; practice never changes your daily streak.
Why it surprises
Both are famous towers on postcards and skylines, but photos rarely show them side by side, so their real heights are hard to judge. The Eiffel Tower is about 330 m tall, including the broadcast antennas at its top that brought it to that height in 2022. The Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster is 96 m tall, with 11 floors. That makes the Eiffel Tower about 3.4 times as tall. The name causes confusion as well: strictly, “Big Ben” is the great bell inside the clock tower, not the tower itself, which is called the Elizabeth Tower. In this duel the height is that of the whole tower, from the ground to the top, not the bell or the clock faces. The London landmark looks tall beside the river, but it is a medium-sized tower next to the one in Paris.
