Hi teachers
In this sentence "I saw the eiffle tower and I even went up of it", is "go up of a tower/high building" a correct phrase? if not, pls suggest any words more suitable

You never know if it's acceptable in a different form of English, but for American English I think we could say "I saw the Eiffle tower and I even went up it." However, you could also say, "I saw the Eiffle tower and I even went up to the top." |

No, "go up of" is not right; it is "go up." And it is Eiffel Tower, after the creator, named Eiffel.
