The second thing that makes...
The second thing that makes Blackpool so unique is the tower. Blackpool Tower is similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and is the focal point for tourists. The Tower can be seen from virtually everywhere in the town and is the ideal landmark. The obvious 'high point' of any visit to the tower complex is to ride by elevator to the top from where you will get a spectacular view of Blackpool and area and the Irish Sea. I didn't actually do this. I only had one full day in Blackpool and we could get quite close to the tower without entering it. As far as I can remember, entry costed around £8 but there were discounts if you went to the circus too.
