Overview and HistoryWelcome to Paris, the City Of Lights, La Ville-Lumiere! We're going to depart from the standard timeline here and just start looking at pictures. You can put the history together in your mind along the way, or live contentedly with an abstract expression of images, whichever you prefer.For lessons in light from the expressionist masters, blur yourself directly to the Orsay Museum and find Monet, Renoir and Cezanne waiting. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.The River Seine divides the city into two halves, called the Left Bank and Right Bank. The right bank is on the north side, left to the south. In general the right bank claims the sophistication and modern development in Paris, while the left bank has the universities, parks and historic areas.There are two islands on the river in the middle of the city, Ile de la Cite and Ile de St. Louis. Here's a beautiful Flower Market on Ile de la City, which is the oldest section of the city. It's also home to Notre Dame cathedralThe Right Bank has a big hill called Montmartre, literally translating to "Mount Mars" or "Mountain of the Martyr", depending on which time period you take the story from. Its name dates back to at least 250A.D and it's home to the Sacre Coeur Basilica among many other things of note, such as the studios of Salvadore Dali, Picasso and Van Gogh.And what else? The Champs-Elysees, of course! The Champs-Elysees is the most prestigious avenue in Paris. L'Arc de Triomph stands at the western end of the Champs-Elysees, at the star shaped intersection of twelve major avenues which is called Place d'Etoil. The Arch is a monument to all who fought for France, especially during the Napoleonic wars.By the way, the sprint finish of the Tour de France -- the most prestigious bicycle race in the world -- comes down the Champs-Elysees. Catch it in the early summer.You may have heard of a museum called Le Louvre. Before you attempt to visit it, go through some tour de france training to build up your stamina. This is a museum big enough to take your whole summer to walk through, and that's without even stopping to look at any of the art.Situated right along the river is the Place de la Concord, the largest open square in the city. It's where Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and 2,798 of their closest friends met the guillotine during the French Revolution. The smell of blood was so strong, according to the tale, that a herd of cattle refused to cross the square.Let's see what we have on the Left Bank. How about Les Invalides, a stately group of museums and monuments dedicated to military history, which also houses a hospital and residences for veterans.The Left Bank has for decades been the center of academic life in Paris, which can be summed up in a word: La Sorbonne. La Sorbonne is the nickname for the University of Paris, founded in 1257. It sits in a historic scholarly sector called the Latin Quarter, which connects La Sorbonne to the Left Bank (Place Maubert). If Paris was a tropical island, this would be the coral reef.Near La Sorbonne can be found Le Jardin de Luxembourg, where Marie d'Medici's chateau stands. It's a pleasant little country house in Florentine style. They used it for a prison during the French Revolution and for Luftwaffe headquarters during WWII. It now houses the French Senate. Shakespeare and Co Library sits in the heart of the Latin Quarter and has earned an international reputation for being more than just a bookshop.Getting ThereTake a look at the Gare du Nord Paris North Station. One of six large train stations in Paris, it's the busiest one in Europe. If you're already on the continent, you very well may arrive here.As for airports, there are two: Charles De Gualle and Orly. De Gaulle airport is about 25 minutes by train from Gare du Nord station, Orly is a bit closer. Here's the train information for connections to the city.TransportationHere's one of the 380 metro stations in Paris, the Palais-Royale at the Louvre. Looking good! This is Europe's second-largest metro system and it's connected with the buses the commuter rail network to get you around the city.People and CultureBeside the fact that Paris contains all walks of life, "people and culture" in Paris is synonymous with food and wine. Here we are smack in the middle of it, La Contrescarpe at Mouffetard Street.Remember, champagne was perfected here during the Belle Epoque, and you need the proper setting in which to drink it.And check out this fish shop!! This is what the zoom tool was made for!In case you're wondering, there's a gritty side to Paris, too. Here's a little mobile graffiti.In the same vein, by which I mean "cheap" or "free", stroll around Left Bank to the flea market at Place Maubert.Street musicians are another great thing about Paris. Here are some drummers, some visual artists on the Quai de Conti, and there should be an organ grinder on the corner when you get there. Let me know if you see him.Things to do & RecommendationsStreet food -- get a croque monsieur or croque madam, it's a toasted cheese sandwich with or without ham. They're so good, it's the pizza slice of Paris! I can't for the life of me understand why nobody has shot a panorama of one.Street food part 2, and I quote:"the motherfucking best falafel in the world is there in the Marais. it's called La Du's and it's on the Rue de Rosiers. it's the 5th I think, right bank. If you flirt with the take out boys they'll give you more falafel too, I'm not kidding it's a fucking transcendant experience." "there's also this bar in the 11th, called the baron rouge, where on sunday a friend of the owner drives in from normandy with a truck full of oysters and just parks it in front of the bar and sells oysters out the back and you just eat them on the street and drink Muscadet off the top of parked cars." (Thank you Allison O'Leary)Spend a little time outdoors in the beautiful Botanical Garden, see if you can find the recycled dragon.No trip to Paris would ever be complete without... well actually the reason Paris is Paris because you never finish seeing it all.Move there, spend a lifetime there, walk everyplace you go and you still won't see it all. It's like New York, London or Tokyo; anyplace in such a state of constant change will remain eternally elusive.I almost said, "no trip to Paris would be complete without going up the Eiffel Tower and seeing the view from the top."Text by Steve Smith.

One of the things I love about living in Paris is the Eiffel Tower. I wouldn’t have predicted that she, the Iron Lady, would become a favored monument, but in this year of uncertainty, seeing her peek over treetops, between buildings, from the bridges along the Seine, and bathing in the warm glow of her night beam have brought a certain comfort. And, of course, the shimmering lights that twinkle after dark every hour, on the hour, for five minutes thrill every time!

These nine places offer outstanding views of the Eiffel Tower. Of course, there are plenty of places in Paris that will offer a glimpse of her, but these nine spots guarantee unforgettable, postcard-perfect views. Seeing the Eiffel Tower when least expected still makes me smile every time. Keep your eyes peeled. She’s watching you!

11 Best Eiffel Tower Views in Paris, France

1. place du trocadero, metro stop: trocadero lines 6 and 9.

Place du Trocadero offers picture-perfect views of the Eiffel Tower . Situated on the north side of the Seine directly across from the Eiffel Tower in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, it is a must-visit location. At Trocadero, there are lovely gardens, fountains, and a large parvis (forecourt) to view and photograph the Eiffel Tower.

One of the most breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris can be found in the Trocadéro Gardens. Positioned across the Seine River from the iconic landmark, this vantage point offers an unparalleled panoramic spectacle. The tower rises majestically against the Parisian skyline, its intricate lattice structure illuminated against the backdrop of the city lights.

As the sun sets, the tower begins to sparkle, casting a magical glow over the surrounding landscape. From the Trocadéro Gardens, visitors can capture the essence of Paris – a harmonious blend of history, romance, and architectural brilliance – all framed by the timeless silhouette of the Eiffel Tower. Expect a lively atmosphere filled with visitors, vendors, and street dancers.

The Place du Trocadero is home to the Palais de Chaillot, where the City of Architecture and Heritage Museum is located, and the National Marine Museum.

Walk down from Place du Trocadero across the Pont d’Iena (Jena Bridge) and marvel at the sheer grandeur of the Eiffel Tower as you get closer.

2. The Champ De Mars

Metro stops: trocadero line 9; bir-hakeim line 6; ecole militaire line 8.

Enveloping the Eiffel Tower is the lovely greenspace called the Champ de Mars . Named in honor of the Roman god of war, this large space is a gathering place for families and visitors to the city alike. The manicured garden is full of flowering trees and flowers in blossom. Photographing the Eiffel Tower in early spring with cherry blossoms or magnolias in the forefront is a thrill for any photographer!

When the Iron Lady sparkles on the hour each night, the Champ de Mars is full of couples and families taking in the marvelous sight. The Champ de Mars is also a classic romantic spot to take in fireworks, such as on Bastille Day, but be sure to secure your spot with a picnic blanket early in the day.

3. The Bir-Hakeim Bridge

Metro stop: bir-hakeim line 6.

Since we are already close to the Eiffel Tower, wander a little further down the Seine to the Pont de Bir-Hakeim. This stunning bridge is another classic spot in Paris to get your postcard-perfect photos of the Eiffel Tower.

Stand on the pedestrian level of the bridge, or take the stairs down to Ile Aux Cygnes, where there are also plenty of sightings of the Eiffel Tower. For a truly unique view of the Eiffel Tower, ride Metro Line 6 across the Bir-Hakeim Bridge and catch a glimpse of the Iron Lady.

You might also like reading about the bridges of Paris and the Islands found in the Seine in Paris.

4. Pont Alexandre III

Metro stop: franklin d. roosevelt lines 1, 8 and 13.

One of the most romantic spots to view the Eiffel Tower is from Pont Alexandre III. This ornate bridge built for the World Fair and named after the Russian Tzar, offers a beautiful view of the tower in the distance. It’s especially stunning at night to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle.

5. A Seine River Cruise

Experiencing a cruise on the Seine is a highlight of any trip to Paris. You will have to decide if you prefer to take the cruise during the day or in the evening. There are plenty of cruises, ranging from hop-on-and-hop-off, dinner cruises, champagne cruises, and even speedboat cruises. This article on Seine River cruises will help you make your decision on which line to take.

Whatever cruise you decide upon, seeing the Eiffel Tower soaring as you pass by on the Seine is an absolute thrill.

6. The Montparnasse Tower Observation Deck

Metro stop: montparnasse-bienvenue lines 4, 6, 12, and 13.

The panorama of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and Paris’s impressive historic monuments, from the Montparnasse Tower is unforgettable. Take Europe’s fastest elevator 658 feet up to the 56th floor and soak in the view. The Eiffel Tower, Sacre-Coeur, and Les Invalides are laid out before you. There is also an open-air panoramic terrace above the 56th floor. Order a glass of champagne with your evening view of the sparkling Iron Lady. Another date with the Eiffel Tower that you won’t soon forget!

7. On Rue Saint-Dominique

Metro stop: la-tour-maubourg line 8.

Walking up Rue Saint-Dominique in the residential area of the 7th arrondissement, there are surprising views of the Eiffel Tower. The best viewing spot is near the corner of Rue Saint-Dominique and Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg. But the entire street is a thrill, as the Eiffel Tower peeks out from between cafes , bookstores, and is standing right before you at the end of the street! Take your time and browse the boutiques or stop at a cafe. It’s a fun street to explore.

If you are looking for a real market street experience, Rue Saint-Dominique crosses Rue Cler, a classic narrow street where the market shops filled with fresh produce, fish, cheese, and all the gastronomic delights of France spill into the streets. Oysters included!

8. From Avenue De Camoens

Metro stop: passy or trocadero line 6.

It took me a while to discover this hidden Paris gem to see and photograph the Eiffel Tower. It is a quiet, short, dead-end street. But that dead end? It stops at a gorgeous balcony with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. When I visited in the morning, there were few people, but choose your time wisely as it is a popular spot, especially for Instagrammers!

Be persistent. It can be a bit tricky to find. If you are on Boulevard Delessert, climb the stone staircase and you’ll arrive at the balcony.

9. Le Printemps Haussmann

Metro stop: havre-caumartin line 3.

Le Printemps Haussmann , one of the oldest department stores in Paris, has a fantastic 360-degree panoramic view of Paris. The department store is a high-end shopping experience behind a facade that is a designated historical monument and includes a brasserie under a stunning glass dome. You will definitely want to plan on perusing the various floors. Head to the 8th floor for stunning views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.

The little secret at Printemps is that if you cross the street to Printemps L’Homme (the men’s store), there is another terrace that has the best views!

Find a spot to take the classic photos, or better still, take a seat at the Parisian restaurant , La Perruche, and relax while taking in the scenery. You might have to pinch yourself!

10. Arc De Triomphe De L’Etoile

Metro stop: charles de gaulle-etoile lines 1, 2, and 6.

If you are visiting Paris for the first time, chances are that the Arc de Triomphe, one of the most famous monuments in Paris, is on your list of places to see. The purpose of the Arc de Triomphe (Triumphal Arch), built on Napoleon’s demand, is to honour the memory of the victories of the French Army. The tomb of the unknown soldier lies at the base of the Arc de Triomphe. Its eternal flame is rekindled each evening, and new wreaths are laid by veterans. Take time to view this amazing monument, and then decide whether to climb all 284 stairs to the top or take the elevator to the mid-level and climb the remaining 64 steps! You will also have to decide whether to visit during the day or in the evening when the lights of Paris are aglow. As you can see, there are a lot of things to do in Paris .

The view of the Eiffel Tower is stellar — and also the sight down the Champs Elysees straight to the Place de la Concorde and beyond, to the Louvre. Another not-to-be-missed experience in Paris.

11. Rue de L’Université

Metro stop: alma – marceau lines 8, 9 and 13.

Rue de L’Université is a well-known cobbled street in the 7th arrondissement with typical Haussmann architecture which perfectly frames the Eiffel Tower view. Because the street is very close to Champ de Mars, where the Eiffel Tower is located, the tower will appear grand in your photos. 

To find this exact location, you’ll come across a dead-end on Rue de L’Université and Avenue de la Bourdonnais. Enter at this point, and you will see the Eiffel Tower is in clear sight.

The walk to Rue de l’Universite can also be combined with a visit to a small gated private garden located very close to the end of Square Rapp. From here you get the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

Pro Tips: Be aware of your belongings in the most crowded places, such as Place du Trocadero, for pickpockets. Also, don’t rush. Each of these nine places will take some time to discover and explore.

What Are the Best Hotels With a View of the Eiffel Tower?

For the best views of the Eiffel Tower try the Radisson Blu, Le Metropolitan Hotel, the Jardins d’Eiffel, or the Hotel La Comtesse Paris. These hotels all have rooms and suites that offer beautiful Eiffel Tower views.

What Time Does the Eiffel Tower Light Up?

The Eiffel Tower lights up every day from sunset to 1 AM and the Eiffel Tower light show twinkles for 5 minutes every hour every night. During the last show of the night the Eiffel Tower sparkles faster. 

Where to Watch the Eiffel Tower Sparkle?

To see the Eiffel Tower sparkle head to the Place du Trocadéro, take a cruise on the Seine, and climb the Montparnasse Tower. There are so many places to enjoy views of the Eiffel Tower when the sun sets.

Where to Get the Best Panoramic View of Paris? 

The observation deck and the Le Ciel de Paris restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower in the 15th arrondissement offer the most stunning panoramic view of Paris. The latter boasts breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower as a bonus.

Which Are the Best Eiffel Tower Views From the Seine River?

Pont de Bir Hakeim Bridge which crosses the Seine and Promenade Marie de Roumanie on the left bank of the Seine River are lovely places to see the Eiffel Tower. The best is to embark on the Sienne boat ride at Pont de L’Alma for a tour of Paris on the water.

Eiffel Tower

Top choice in Paris

Lonely Planet's Ultimate Guide

Explore insider tips, fascinating history and surprising secrets to make the most of your experience.

There are different ways to experience the Eiffel Tower, from a daytime trip or an evening ascent amid twinkling lights, to a meal in one of its restaurants. And even though some seven million people come annually, few would dispute that each visit is unique – and something that simply has to be done when in Paris.

Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, the Tour Eiffel was built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World's Fair). It took 300 workers, 2.5 million rivets and two years of nonstop labor to assemble. Upon completion, the tower became the tallest human-made structure in the world (324m) – a record held until the 1930 completion of New York's Chrysler Building. A symbol of the modern age, it faced opposition from Paris’ artistic and literary elite, and the ‘metal asparagus’, as some snidely called it, was originally slated to be torn down in 1909. It was spared only because it proved an ideal platform for the transmitting antennas needed for the newfangled science of radiotelegraphy.

Sporting six different colors throughout its lifetime, the tower has been painted red and bronze since 1968. Work is underway to strip the previous 19 coats and apply the yellow-brown shade originally conceived by Gustave Eiffel, giving it a new golden hue in time for the 2024 Olympics.

First floor: cafe and souvenir shop

Of the tower's three floors, the 1st (57m) has the most space but least impressive views. The glass-enclosed Pavillon Ferrié houses an immersion film along with a small cafe and souvenir shop, while the outer walkway features a discovery circuit to help visitors learn more about the tower’s ingenious design. Check out the sections of glass flooring that provide a dizzying view of the ant-like people walking on the ground far below. This level also hosts the restaurant  58 Tour Eiffel . The 1st floor's commercial areas are powered by two sleek wind turbines within the tower.

Second floor: Le Jules Verne restaurant

Views from the 2nd floor (115m) are the best – impressively high but still close enough to see the city below. Telescopes and panoramic maps pinpoint locations in Paris and beyond. Story windows give an overview of the lifts’ mechanics, and the vision well allows you to gaze through glass panels to the ground. Also up here are toilets, a souvenir shop, a macaron bar, and Michelin-starred restaurant  Le Jules Verne .

Top floor: Champagne bar and 'secret apartment'

Views from the wind-buffeted top floor (276m) stretch up to 60km on a clear day, though at this height the panoramas are more sweeping than detailed. Celebrate your ascent with a glass of bubbly (€13 to €22) from the Champagne bar (open 10.15am to 10.15pm). Afterwards peep into Gustave Eiffel’s restored top-level office, otherwise known as the 'secret apartment', where lifelike wax models of Eiffel and his daughter Claire greet Thomas Edison. 

Tours, tickets and other practicalities

Visitors must pass through security at the bullet-proof glass barriers surrounding the tower's base. The two entrances to the glass enclosure are on avenue Gustave Eiffel; the two exits are on quai Branly.

Ascend as far as the 2nd floor (either on foot or by lift), from where there's a separate lift to the top floor (closed during heavy winds). Pushchairs must be folded in lifts and bags or backpacks larger than aeroplane-cabin size aren't allowed. Note that the top floor and stairs aren't accessible to people with limited mobility.

Pre-purchasing tickets online gives you an allocated time slot and means you only have to queue for security. Print your ticket or show it on your phone. If you can’t reserve your tickets ahead of time, expect lengthy waits for tickets in high season.

Stair tickets can't be reserved online. Buy them at the south pillar, where the staircase can also be accessed: the climb consists of 360 steps to the 1st floor and another 360 steps to the 2nd floor.

If you have reservations for either restaurant, you're granted direct post-security access to the lifts.

For the best view of the light show, head across the Seine to the Jardins du Trocadéro.

How to get there

Where to get the best views of the Eiffel Tower

In no particular order, here are the best places to see the Eiffel Tower!

1. From Trocadero for the best Eiffel Tower view

Located opposite the Eiffel Tower on the other side of the Seine, Trocadero is probably the most famous and the best place to view the Eiffel Tower.

Its prime location gives direct views of the tower from different angles depending on whether you see it from the steps, the garden, or the fountain of Warsaw.

My suggestion is that you see the tower from all these places as all the different views of the Eiffel Tower will be absolutely stunning.

Since this place is so famous and a popular Instagram photo spot with the Eiffel Tower , be ready to find lots of crowds.

How to get here: Take either Metro line 6 or 9 and stop at Trocadéro

Pro tip* The best way to beat the crowds here is to go early in the morning for a sunrise view or late in the evening for a sunset view. On top of beating the crowds, visiting at that time of the day will treat you to amazing views of the sun in the backdrop of the famous Parisian landmark. You can also check out these tips on how to skip the long lines in Paris .

2. From the Notre Dame Cathedral

The climb of the 378 steps of the notable Notre Dame Cathedral will treat you to impeccable views of the Eiffel Tower which in my opinion, is one of the best places to spot the ion lady and take magical photos.

Opening Hours:  The Cathedral is open daily from 10:00 PM – 6:30 PM from April to September but stays open up to 11:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays in July and August. However, it’s open from 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM from October to March.

Pro tip*  Due to the devastating fire that burnt part of the Notre Dame Cathedral, it is currently closed off to the public to undergo renovation. But when the restoration is done and opens to the public again, be sure to check it out as it provides the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

3. From the Arc de Triomphe Observation deck

If you read my previous post about the best views in Paris , you know that I believe that the Arc de Triomphe offers the best city views.

On top of the 360 degrees you get on the city plus the view of the 12 roads diverging from the arc, the observation deck will give you the best view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Opening Hours:  Arc de Triomphe is open from 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM from 1st April to 30th September and from 10:00 AM – 10:30 PM from 1st October to 31st March.

How to get here: Either take Metro line 1 or 2 and stop at Charles de Gaulle – Étoile

Pro tip* The Arc de Triomphe is a popular landmark and you’re likely to find long queues. To beat them, you can buy yourself an online skip-the-line entry ticket to get fast access to the observation deck.

4. From Pont Alexandre III

One of the other places that offer a great Eiffel Tower view is Pont Alexandre III .

The bridge is not only beautiful; the most beautiful in my opinion, but it also offers perfect views of the Eiffel Tower with the Seine River and the opposite side of the bridge right in front of it. Nothing beats such a photo!

On top of the views, Ponte Alexandre is near many popular attractions like the Grand Palace and the Petite Palace and it’s within a walk’s distance of the Louvre museum .

So after taking in the Eiffel Tower best view, be sure to stroll around and see those popular places for a great day in Paris.

How to get here: Either take Metro line 13 and stop at Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau or line 8 and stop at Invalides

5. From Champs de Mars

Just next to the tower itself is a beautiful green park known as Champs de Mars! You might think that you may not get beautiful views of the Eiffel Tower since it’s right next to it but you’ll be surprised!

To enjoy the views from here, even more, you can visit Paris in springtime to see the most spectacular Paris cherry blossoms , or better yet pack yourself a picnic and chill right next to the tower.

But regardless of what time of the year you visit, Champs de Mars will treat you to breathtaking Eiffel Tower views.

How to get here: Take either Metro line 6 and stop at Bir-Hakeim or RER C and stop at Champs de Mars-Tour Eiffel

6. From the Montparnasse Tower Terrace

This might be considered the ugliest building in the whole of Paris (it was also once voted the 2nd ugliest in the world) since it doesn’t fit well with the architectural design of other buildings but the Eiffel Tower views it offers are out of this world.

And since it’s theoretically directly opposite to the Tower with no other building obstructing, you’ll get clear views of the Eiffel Tower.

Opening hours:  The observation deck of Montparnasse Tower is always open from 9.30 AM –11.30 PM all year round.

Psst… Don’t forget to grab this skip-the-line ticket to avoid the queues.

How to get here: Either take Metro line 13 or 12 and stop at Montparnasse Bienvenüe.

7. From a Seine Cruise

Honestly, there is no trip to Paris that is complete without a cruise on the Seine! While on the cruise, you can see almost all the popular attractions in Paris including the Eiffel Tower.

You literally get an up-close look at the tower while feeling the cool breeze from the River.

You can go on this afternoon seine cruise but to enjoy the views of the Eiffel Tower, even more, I’d suggest going for this evening dinner cruise where you’ll see the tower sparkle for 5 minutes at every top of the hour! It’s truly a magical sight worth watching.

8. From Rue De L’Université for the best Eiffel Tower street view

Popular for being an Instagram photo spot in Paris , Rue de L’Université offers the best Eiffel Tower street view.

With a view of the cobblestoned street, the beautiful architecture, and the Eiffel Tower in the background, this Parisian street is the ultimate gem for a view of the Iron Lady.

It might be “just” a street but it has become increasingly popular so you can expect to encounter crowds especially since it’s right to the tower itself. You can choose to go in the morning or in the late afternoon to beat the crowds.

How to get here: Either take metro line 8 or 13 and stop at Invalides

9. Rue De Monttessuy

For another street view of the Eiffel Tower, head to Rue De Monttessuy. It’s about 5 minutes from Rue De L’Université so you can easily visit these places in one go. 

It’s becoming a bit more popular these days compared to when I first visited it, but it’s still pretty unknown compared to most places we’ve seen so far.

How to get here: Take Metro line 9 and stop at Alma-Marceau

10.  From The Top Of Sacré Coeur for an Eiffel Tower view from Montmartre

Tucked away in beautiful Montmartre at the top of the hill, Sacré Coeur also known as Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris provides some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower if you brave up to climb the 300 steps since there is no elevator at this grand church.

You can pretty much see almost all of Paris from the top of the Sacré Coeur but there is nothing as impressive as a view of the Eiffel Tower.

And don’t just go for the view, the church itself is incredibly beautiful so spend some time visiting it to appreciate the architecture.

Opening hours:  Sacré Coeur is open from 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM from May to September and from 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM from October to April.

How to get here: Take Metro Line 2 and stop at Anvers or Metro Line 12, and stop at Abbesses, although the former is much closer.

11. From The Steps Of Sacré Coeur

If you’re not in good shape or you just don’t feel like climbing the 300 steps of the Sacré Coeur , don’t worry, you can still get a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower from the Church’s steps.

The views may not be as impressive as the ones from the top of Sacré Coeur but you can be sure to see the iron lady.

And a big plus is that you won’t need to pay the fee to climb the towers of the church which makes this one of the free things to do in Paris.

12. From Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Formally known as Pont de Passy, Pont de Bir-Hakeim which crosses the Seine River gives some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower.

Its prime location next to the tower and its design with the steel columns next to it and lanterns in between make for a perfect photo spot of the Eiffel Tower.

Actually, the impressive Eiffel Tower views it offers made Pont de Bir-Kakeim feature in popular Hollywood movies like Inception and National Treasure: Book of Secrets .

How to get here: Either take metro line 6 and stop at Passy or RER C and stop at Champs de Mars- Tour Eiffel.

13. From the Observation deck of the Pompidou Centre

Pompidou Centre may be known for its unique architecture of the inside-out kind of style or even its art and culture that it showcases in the museum but this place also offers stunning views of the Eiffel tower.

A big plus about Pompidou Centre is that, unlike other museums where you have to pay for both the gallery and the views, Pompidou Centre offers a views-only ticket known as the Panorama ticket  which takes you directly to the viewpoint.

This is perfect for people who want to take in the Eiffel Tower view without visiting the museum especially if they’re not into art.

Opening hours:  The museum opens from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM/7: 00 PM from 1st April to 31st October and from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM from 1st November to 31st March.

Psst… Before you go, make sure that you book your entry ticket in advance to beat the queues. If you don’t have it yet, you can buy it here . Alternatively, you can book this guided tour to learn everything you need about this incredible place.

How to get here: Either take M11 and stop at Rambuteau or M14 and stop at Châtelet on M1 and stop at Hôtel de Ville

14. From Rue Saint- Dominique

If you want to get a view of the Eiffel Tower without missing the street Paris charm, then head to Rue Saint-Dominique in the 7th arrondissement , particularly next to Le Recrutement cafe.

Any time is great to view but if you take a walk along this pretty street at night and wait for the sparkles of the tower at every top of the hour, then you’ll know why I think Rue Saint-Dominique offers the best Eiffel Tower street view.

How to get here: You can either take M8 and stop at La Tour-Maubourg or M13 and stop at Invalides

15. From a metro

Yes, you can catch a view of the Eiffel Tower from a train! It might be brief but it’s one of the most exciting places!

The train is going too fast, the seine is right there and the anticipation of seeing it or even the pressure of missing to take a photo makes it even more exciting.

I know I was super ready with my phone in hand to snap a pic the first second I saw it and boy I was over the moon excited. But the good news is that I was able to take a quick pic on the first go.

There is something about that experience that pumps up the adrenaline, especially if you’re seeing the Eiffel Tower from the train for the first time.

But it’s not on just any metro, but the metro line 6 (between Bir Hakeim and Passy) headed to the Eiffel Tower if you want to go directly to Champs de Mars, and not the Trocadero side.

16. From the Pantheon’s Dome

Another place to go for Eiffel Tower views which is usually ignored by most people is the Paris Pantheon which is located in the Latin Quarter .

From here you can expect to get uninterrupted views of the Eiffel Tower since no tall building is in front of it.

And on top of that, you won’t have to compete with crowds of people at the top of the dome since they only allow 50 people to climb it at a time.

Opening Hours:  The Panthéon is open from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM from 1st October – 31st March and from 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM from 1st April – 31st September.

How to get here: Either take M10 and stop at Maubert – Mutualité or RER B and stop at Luxembourg

Pro tip* Visiting the Patheon itself is possible all year round but if you want to climb the dome for the best views of the Eiffel Tower, it’s only possible from April to October .

17. From Galeries Lafayette Haussmann Rooftop

Are you traveling to Paris on a budget but still want to enjoy some beautiful views, then Galeries Lafayette Haussmann is the best place to see the Eiffel Tower for free.

This famous department store opens up its 7th floor to the public to admire the Iron Lady from above.

And if you visit at sunset, you’ll be treated to some of the best sunsets you’ve ever seen. Nothing beats a sunset picture with the Eiffel Tower in it.

Opening hours:  The terrace is open to the public all year round from 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM.

How to get here: Either take M9 and stop at Chaussée d’Antin — La Fayette,  M3 and stop at Opera or Saint-Lazare on M13

18. Printemps Haussmann Rooftop Terrace

While most people head to Galeries Lafayette as the best rooftop terrace to get views of Paris since it’s a more popular department store compared to its counterparts, another place you can’t miss is Printemps Haussmann! It

You’ll get a view of the Paris Opera, Madeleine church, La Defense, Sacre Coeur, and the Eiffel Tower.

The best part is that it doesn’t have to be one or the other! You can visit them both since they’re right next to each other!

How to get here: Either take M3 or M9 and stop at Havre-Caumartin

19. From Passerelle Debilly

Originally constructed to accommodate visitor traffic during the World War era, Passerelle Debilly is an arched footbridge that connects pedestrians from one side of the seine to the other – from Quai de New York to the Quai Branly .

And in the process of crossing from one end to another, you’ll be served with some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower.

You’ll also get a glimpse of the roof of the Grand Palais on the opposite side.

How to get here: You can either take M9 and stop at Iéna or RER C and stop at Pont de l’Alma.

20. From Some Paris Hotels

If you’re lucky to sleep in some hotels near the Iron Lady, you’ll be able to get a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.

Imagine waking up to the view of the Eiffel Tower with the sun rising – magnificent, right? But be sure to save up because hotels with Eiffel Tower views don’t come cheap.

However, even if you don’t sleep there, some hotels allow non-residents to access their observation decks to see the tower as long as they keep the drinks coming in.

Some of the hotels with an Eiffel Tower view include;

• Shangri-La: This is one of the most famous hotels in Paris that offers incredible views of the Eiffel Tower. It is a high-end hotel since it was once a residential palace for Napoleon Bonaparte’s grandnephew. << Book your stay at Shangri-La Hotel for amazing views >>

21. From Avenue Rapp

Usually missed by many tourists, Avenue Rapp which is hidden in the 7th arrondissement is the best place to view the Eiffel Tower.

As you walk along Avenue Rapp , take your time to locate a little park (known as a square Rapp ) and that’s where you’ll be surprised by the Eiffel Tower view. It is one of the best places to see the Eiffel Tower.

While still on this street, head to 29 Avenue Rapp, to see one of the few remaining Art Nouveau buildings known as the Lavirotte Building and its intriguing architectural designs. 

How to get here: Either take metro line 9 and stop at Alma-Marceau or line 8 and stop at École-Militaire

22. Rue du Général Camou

Just opposite the Lavirotte Building, you’ll find this quiet street! It has a beautiful Eiffel Tower view yet almost missed by all tourists. I was practically alone at this spot when I first visited.

How to get here: Take metro line 9 and stop at Alma-Marceau

23. From Paris rooftop bars or just any rooftop

Just like any charming city, Paris is full of rooftops and rooftop bars that provide an incredible view over the city of love. Just imagine sipping on Parisian Wine as you take in the Eiffel Tower views!

For those who don’t know, Paris has islands and this is one of them! Although it’s famous for housing the biggest replica of the Statue of Liberty in Paris , its surrounding area also offers views of the Eiffel Tower.

It’s a little bit further away from other places mentioned in this article, but it’s worth visiting in my opinion.

How to get here: You can either take M6 and stop at Passy, or M10 and stop at Charles Michel

25. Avenue De Camoens

Another cool Eiffel Tower photo spot to visit is Avenue de Camoens in the 16th Arrondissement.

Since the viewpoint is located at the top of a staircase, it’s easy to miss it if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

As with other spots, you’ll find several Instagrammers and photographers here.

At the bottom of the staircase, there is a pink marble monument dedicated to poet, Luís de Camões, that is also worth admiring.

The 20 Best Paris Hotels with Eiffel Tower Views

• By Jacqueline Parisi
• February 7, 2024

To indulge in the pinnacle of luxury, make the renowned Hotel George V your home base while visiting Paris. It’s located in the chic 8th arrondissement in an Art Deco landmark building that dates back to 1928. While you can’t go wrong with any of the rooms, if you’re looking for Eiffel Tower views, the Duplex Suite, Eiffel Tower Suite, or Penthouse are the way to go.

Address: 31 Avenue George V, 75008 Paris Average cost per night: $2200 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 20-minute walk, 20-minute Métro ride, 6-minute taxi

2. Shangri-La Paris

For a luxury Eiffel Tower hotel experience, it doesn’t get much better than Shangri-La . The Paris outpost of this multinational hospitality brand is housed in the former residence of Prince Bonaparte in the upscale 16th arrondissement. The 100-room iconic hotel features a bar and two restaurants, one of which is the only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France. The French-meets-Asian style rooms are flooded with natural light, offering either views of the Eiffel Tower or the nearby Avenue d’Iéna. Certain rooms also come with a private terrace or balcony.

Address: 10 Avenue d’Iéna, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $1600 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 17-minute walk 

3. The Peninsula Paris

Offering some of the most spacious rooms in Paris, The Peninsula has been dubbed “little Versailles.” This luxury hotel is located in a heritage building that was renovated in 2014, masterfully blending touches of French history with modern-day conveniences. Of the 200 guest rooms, 93 are suites, and many offer views of the Iron Lady, including the Rooftop Garden Suite, Rooftop Eiffel Suite, and Katara Suite. For more pinch-me views, don’t miss L’Oiseau Blanc, the hotel’s renowned rooftop restaurant and bar offering an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower.

Address: 19 Avenue Kléber, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $2,000 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 26-minute walk, 13-minute Métro ride, 9-minute taxi

4. Hôtel Plaza Athénée

Situated on the tree-lined Avenue Montaigne, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée is the pinnacle of Parisian luxury. It’s just a short walk away from the Seine and some of the city’s haute couture mainstays: the Champs-Élysée, bien sûr , but also the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and La Galerie Dior. There are various room options to choose from: classic single room, superior room, deluxe double room, junior suites, suites, and signature suites. For enviable Eiffel Tower views, be sure to select the Eiffel Tower Suite, L’Appartement, the Haute Couture Eiffel Suite, or the Royal Suite. (Special shout-out to the stunning marble bathrooms at the Athénée as well…)

Address: 25 Avenue Montaigne, 75008 Paris Average cost per night: $2,000 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 20-minute walk, 12-minute Métro ride, 6-minute taxi

5. Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel

For close-up, spectacular Eiffel Tower views, Pullman is your place. This 4-star hotel is located steps away from the Champ de Mars — it’ll take you just 4 minutes to walk to the base of the tower. Be sure to choose the Deluxe Room, Superior Room, or Penthouse Eiffel for Insta-worthy views, and don’t miss out on the hotel’s onsite restaurant and bar, Frame (there’s a DJ every Friday and Saturday night!).

Address: 18 Avenue de Suffren, 75015 Paris Average cost per night: $600 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 4-minute walk

6. Hôtel San Régis Paris

Ever heard of the “Golden Triangle” — or the Triangle D’or — in Paris’s 8th arrondissement? This small, high-end area sits between three of the city’s most iconic boulevards: the Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montagne, and Avenue George V. This is where you’ll find the San Régis , a luxury hotel housed in a former 19th-century hôtel particulier (private mansion). There are just 30 guest rooms and 12 suites, with the Terrace Junior Suite offering Eiffel Tower views.

Address: 12 Rue Jean Goujon, 75008 Paris Average cost per night: $520 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 23-minute walk, 11-minute Métro ride, 9-minute taxi

7. Hôtel Balzac

Calling all literary buffs… you’ll want to stay at Balzac . Originally built for the director of the Paris Opera in the 19th century, this boutique luxury hotel was re-named to honor the great novelist Honoré de Balzac, who purchased the property in 1848 for his future wife, the Countess Ewelina Hańska, and spent his final days in the palatial dwelling. It’s just a stone’s throw away from the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe, and both the Royal Suite and Presidential Suite offer views of the Eiffel Tower and Paris skyline.

Address: 6 Rue Balzac, 75008 Paris Average cost per night: $520 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 23-minute walk, 11-minute Métro ride, 9-minute taxi

8. Brach Paris

The brainchild of French industrial designer and architect Philippe Starck, Brach fuses warm colors, raw materials, and inspiration from Bauhaus, Dada, and the Surrealists to create a luxury experience in the heart of the 16th arrondissement. Many of their premium rooms and suites offer views of the Eiffel Tower, including Suzanne, Henri, Yvonne, and Annette. When you’re not savoring the view from your private balcony, grab a bite at the hotel’s Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, visit the rooftop bar and urban garden, or get your sweat on at the the Brach sports club — indoor swimming pool, sauna, and steam room included.

Address: 1-7 Rue Jean Richepin, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $500 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 22-minute walk, 17-minute Métro ride, 10-minute taxi

9. Hôtel Raphaël

The 5-star Hôtel Raphaël draws inspiration from the glamour of the Roaring 20s, or les années folles. You’ll find antique furniture throughout, along with exquisite wood panels and hand-painted murals. Location-wise, you’ll get the best of both worlds: proximity to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées (less than a 10-minute walk!) AND rooms with Eiffel Tower views. Of its many accommodation options, the Country Setting Room and Boudoir Room are the ones you’ll want to splurge on for views of the Eiffel Tower (each also comes with a private terrace). But then again, even if you don’t snag one of the rooms with a view, you’ll still have access to the sublime rooftop terrace with views of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Sacré Coeur.

Address: 17 Avenue Kléber, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $390 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 29-minute walk, 15-minute Métro ride, 5-minute taxi

10. Le Walt Hotel

This 4-star boutique hotel offers an amazing Eiffel Tower view from its prime location at the base of the Champ de Mars. But that’s not the only draw: with walls covered in classical works from the last century, Hôtel Le Walt is one of the best Paris hotels for art lovers — its proximity to the Musée Rodin (15-minute walk) and Musée d’Orsay (14-minute Métro ride) doesn’t hurt either.

Address: 37 Avenue de la Motte-Picquet, 75007 Paris Average cost per night: $350 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 16-minute walk, 10-minute Métro ride, 7-minute taxi

11. Sofitel Paris Baltimore Tour Eiffel

Sofitel offers stunning Eiffel Tower views from its Baltimore Tour Eiffel outpost in the 16th arrondissement. The hotel, which opened in the post-war 1920s in a Haussmannian-style building, is named after its first and most infamous guest, Lord Baltimore. Today, it welcomes travelers from around the world to its many rooms, some of which boast the city’s best Eiffel Tower views: Deluxe Junior Suite, Eiffel Signature Suite, and Eiffel Prestige Suite.

Address: 88 Bis Avenue Kléber, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $340 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 24-minute walk, 14-minute Métro ride, 4-minute taxi

12. Le Metropolitan, Paris Tour Eiffel

This luxury boutique hotel is within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées. Come for the views — six of the ten suites offer some of the city’s best views of the Eiffel Tower and quintessential Haussmannian facades — and stay for the amenities. We’re particularly fond of the indoor pool, luxury spa, and onsite Japanese restaurant. Art lovers will also want to check out the hotel’s private contemporary art collection.

Address: 10 Pl. de Mexico, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $270 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 20-minute walk, 13-minute Métro ride, 5-minute taxi

13. Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile

At 34 stories high, the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile is a soaring skyscraper (the highest in the city!) with 995 comfortably modern hotel rooms and suites. Note that it’s a bit far from the Champ de Mars — you’ll have to take a taxi or hop on RER line C or the 82 bus. But for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city come evening, the Hyatt — located right across the périphérique from the 2,000+ acre Bois de Boulogne — is ideal. For a view of the Eiffel Tower, stay in the Presidential Suite, Eiffel Tower Suite, or any of the twin rooms designated as “Eiffel Tower View.”

Address: 3 Place du Général Koenig, 75017 Paris Average cost per night: $230 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 18-minute Métro ride, 10-minute taxi

14. Hôtel Champ de Mars

Hotel Champ de Mars is prime Eiffel Tower location — it’s just a stone’s throw away from the Invalides and the banks of the Seine. Accommodation types vary, including single, two twin, double, and superior rooms. (Superior is the one with the views of the Eiffel Tower.)

While you’re there, don’t miss out on one of our favorite walks in the city center: stroll through Esplanade des Invalides, cross Pont Alexandre III, then make a right and walk down the Seine, passing Place de la Concorde and the Tuileries until you hit the Louvre Museum.

Address: 7 Rue du Champ de Maris, 75007 Paris Average cost per night: $220 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 14-minute walk, 12-minute Métro ride, 6-minute taxi

15. Hôtel Maison Fl

Just across the Seine from the Champ de Mars is Hôtel Maison Fl , a 4-star property with Art Deco flair. The great location isn’t the only thing it has going for it… from the Penthouse and Rooftop Suite on the upper floors, you can get an iconic Eiffel Tower view.

Address: 6 Rue de la Tour, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $200 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 12-minute walk, 5-minute taxi

16. First Hôtel Paris Tour Eiffel

This contemporary, design-forward hotel is tucked away on Boulevard Garibaldi in the 15th arrondissement. It has all the amenities you’d expect from a 4-star Paris hotel — think 24-hour reception and room service, breakfast, free WiFi, laundry service — with added Eiffel Tower views from select rooms: Deluxe (fits 2), Eiffel Suite (fits 4), and First Suite (fits 4… and has 3 private balconies).

Address: 2 Bd Garibaldi, 75015 Paris Average cost per night: $145 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 20-minute walk, 15-minute Métro ride, 9-minute taxi

17. Jardins d’Eiffel

Jardins d’Eiffel in the Invalides district of the 7th arrondissement is an ideal home base from which to explore Paris. Of the 81 rooms, 20 feature a balcony or terrace. But take note when booking: it’s the Premium rooms (double or twin) that have views of the Eiffel Tower.

Address: 8 Rue Amélie, 75007 Paris Average cost per night: $150 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 15-minute walk, 5-minute taxi

18. Hôtel Eiffel Trocadero

With just 17 rooms, Eiffel Trocadero is a charming boutique hotel located just across the Seine on the right bank. Certain Deluxe rooms offer amazing Eiffel Tower views, as does the aptly-named Eiffel Suite. While you’re there, don’t miss the chance to eat at their onsite restaurant, Les Jardins du Trocadero, with its all-organic menu fusing French and Asian cuisine.

Address: 35 Rue Benjamin Franklin, 75116 Paris Average cost per night: $150 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 12-minute walk

19. Ibis Paris Tour Eiffel

For a budget hotel that doesn’t skimp on views, consider Ibis . This centrally-located hotel is in the 15th right by Square Cambronne, and in just 20 minutes by foot you can be at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Or, if you need to rest your legs a bit, stay put and enjoy a stunning Eiffel Tower view (from select standard rooms with double beds).

Address: 2 Rue Cambronne, 75015 Paris Average cost per night: $130 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 20-minute walk, 16-minute Métro ride, 6-minute taxi

20. Hôtel Eiffel Rive Gauche

This former convent-turned-hotel is, as its name suggests, ideally located on the Left Bank. At just around $130 a night, it’s one of the more budget-friendly hotels in Paris with Eiffel Tower views from select rooms — plus all the other amenities you’d expect (WiFi, private bathroom, breakfast).

Address: 6 Rue du Gros Caillou, 75007 Paris Average cost per night: $130 Distance from Eiffel Tower: 10-minute drive, 6-minute taxi

Several of the Paris hotels on this list either directly offer or can facilitate babysitting services, including Shangri-La Hotel Paris, Le Metropolitan, Four Seasons Hotel George V, Le Walt, Pullman, San Régis, Hôtel Balzac, and Hôtel Eiffel Trocadero.

However, there are some standout spots that go above and beyond childcare to make the hotel experience a great one for everyone — kiddos and adults alike.

The Four Seasons offers bespoke, family-friendly travel itineraries with kid-friendly activities, plus complimentary toiletries for babies/children. You can also request complimentary coloring books, crayons, and games.

At Pullman, you can book a connecting room to fit the whole family and take full advantage of the onsite daycare center. If there’s a birthday during your trip, be sure to ask for their special pajama party package, with Just Dance, a karaoke console, Nintendo Switch, and/or Twister.

Where is the Eiffel Tower?

The Eiffel Tower is located in the 7th arrondissement on the western side of Paris. The closest Métro is line 9 (Trocadéro), 8 (École Militaire), or 6 (Bir-Hakeim). By bus, it’s accessible via line 82 or 42.

Is it possible to find parking near the Eiffel Tower?

There are a few parking lots within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, including:

• Parking Pullman Tour Eiffel: 18 Avenue de Suffren, 75007 (4-min walk)
• Parking Quai Branly: 25 quai Branly, 75007 (7-min walk)
• Parking Sainte Dominique: 133 rue Sainte Dominique, 75007 (9-min walk)

Where is the best view of the Eiffel Tower?

Even if you don’t manage to snag a private rooftop terrace from one of the most sought-after hotels in Paris, you can still enjoy a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. It doesn’t get much better than Place du Trocadéro, which is located just across the Seine from the tower and offers stunning panoramic views… although the Champ de Mars is a close second.

Do these hotels always guarantee a room with an Eiffel Tower view?

We wish! Unfortunately, not every room at the hotels listed here comes with a view, so it’s important to double check when booking. Usually, it’ll be listed under the room features, or explicitly called out in the name (you’ll find accommodations with names or descriptors like “Eiffel Tower View Suite,” “Eiffel Tower Room,” or “View of Eiffel Tower”).

Are there cheap — but still great! — hotels with Eiffel Tower views?

There are definitely budget-friendly Paris hotels with Eiffel Tower views… you just have to know where to look. Our go-tos are Hôtel Eiffel Trocadero ($150/night), Hôtel Eiffel Rive Gauche ($130/night), and Ibis Paris Tour Eiffel ($130/night).

Yesterday I was checking the Eiffel Tower's official site, and I found out thanks to their communication, that tickets from the 17th June are not going in sale 60 days before the day of the visit, as the usual, but later... did anyone hear news on the new possible date for the sale (I'm planning to on the 19th)?

Also, does this mean that buying tickets for late-June will be way harder that the usual due to the Olympics (even if you connect to their website at midnight on the eventual day of sale)?

“Tickets for visits from June 17, 2024, will go on sale later than usual (instead of 60 days before the day of the visit). Keep an eye on our official online ticket office to find out when tickets are available for this summer, including during the Olympic Games.
