Yes, there is "se".
En France, on peut visiter la tour Eiffel.
-> Se puede visitar la torre Eiffel en Francia.
And as you can see, the conjugation is the same as "él, ella, usted" :)

Yes, thank you Chris for the clarification.

As a followup question - "on" can mean "quelqu'un" (an unnamed person) or "tout le monde" (everybody) or "nous" (we). In Spanish ??
- on m'a dit que ...
- En France, on parle français ...
- Hier, on est allés au cinéma ...

Hola, Jocel: Además de "se", también pueden usarse impersonalmente "tú" o "uno/a": "En Francia, puedes (tú) visitar la torre Eiffel"; "En Francia, uno/una puede visitar la torre Eiffel".
