Eiffel Tower – part 2

Eiffel tower photoshoot.

There are so many different locations that you can use for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot. Trocadero may be the most popular area for your Eiffel Tower photo session , but by far not the only beautiful place for your Eiffel Tower photo shoot :

BIR-HAKEIM BRIDGE

This is the most popular area after Trocadero for photos at the Eiffel Tower. You can enjoy a great view on the Eiffel Tower from this beautiful bridge, with several angles : Bir-Hakeim bridge has a balcony facing the Eiffel Tower that we love using for your photoshoot (with a horse statue)

OUR TOP-TIP : As Bir-Hakeim is a double layer bridge it is a great location for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot, in case the weather is not great. Standing on the bridge you will be covered by the second layer and protected from the rain.

OTHER FAVORITE SPOTS for an Eiffel Tower photo shoot:

Eiffel tower riverside.

There is a beautiful stretch of the Seine riverbanks between Trocadero and Bir-Hakeim bridge. At the riverside you have an open view at the Eiffel Tower from up close. And this locations is pretty quiet.

Eiffel Tower street views

There are a few streets in the area from where you can see the Eiffel Tower and at the same time enjoy the backdrop of a typical Parisian street (think cobble stone, elegant lampposts, Parisian architecture) for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot.

Alexandre III Bridge

You can have a view on the Eiffel Tower from Alexandre III Bridge.

BEST TIME for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot:

Sunrise & Morning: YES The best time for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot is sunrise and morning time, because the Eiffel Tower locations are popular among travelers and locals alike. But it will depend on exactly where you’d like to have your Eiffel Tower photoshoot. So let’s schedule your Paris photo session here as early as we can to beat the crowds.

Afternoon : SO SO… Beware that it will be busy, so it only works if you don’t mind that there may be many passersby. Better avoid afternoon shoots at the Eiffel Tower in summer, it’s too crowded! Otherwise the riverside, the street views and Bir-Hakeim bridge would be the best choice at this time of the day.

Evening & sunset photoshoot at Eiffel Tower : YES BUT… If you want to take sunset photos at the Eiffel Tower and night photos when the Eiffel Tower is sparkling, then Bir-Hakeim bridge is definitely your best choice for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot.Check with us on the best time and how to schedule it.

TIPS for your Eiffel Tower photoshoot:

Couple & engagement photoshoot.

All Eiffel Tower locations that we mentioned here can be used for your Paris engagement or couple photoshoot at the Eiffel Tower. But keep in mind that morning is best !

Surprise proposal

Bir-Hakeim bridge provides the best view, but the riverside is more quiet in case you would appreciate more privacy for your Paris surprise proposal. For a street view for your Eiffel Tower proposal, check with your photographer.

Family photoshoot at the Eiffel Tower

All Eiffel Tower locations work great for your family photo session in Paris, especially Bir-Hakeim. And what about combining your family photoshoot with a stop at a café ?

Elopement photoshoot at Eiffel Tower

For your ceremony, our top recommendation is the Eiffel Tower riverside as it is the most quiet and intimate Eiffel Tower location. Bir-Hakeim bridge is also great for the view, but it is busier there. Check with your Paris celebrant if you need more details.

Solo photoshoot at Eiffel Tower

Any of these locations can be used for your solo photoshoot at the Eiffel Tower. We love shooting Personal branding photos at the riverside or in a Parisian Café. Fashion photoshoots, Paris blogger photo sessions and quinceanera photos are great at Bir-Hakeim bridge.

OTHER GREAT SPOTS FOR YOUR PHOTOSHOOT in the Eiffel Tower area

Within walking distance….

There are mainly other Eiffel Tower photoshoot locations in the closest proximity that you can reach by foot with a short walk.

Trocadero photoshoot

The most famous location for Eiffel Tower photoshoots, Trocadero square is located on a hill and works like a Eiffel Tower view platform. Check more details here: Eiffel Tower photo session at Trocadero .

Trocadero fountains

The Eiffel Tower fountains are in the same area as Trocadero square but more laid back and intimate while still providing great views. Find more information here: Eiffel Tower photo session at Trocadero area.

Trocadero Gardens

The Eiffel Tower gardens are also in the same area as Trocadero square but more laid back and intimate while still providing great views. Find more information here: Eiffel Tower photo session at Trocadero area.

Eiffel Tower Cafes

There are several cute and romantic Cafés near Trocadero place. Cafés are so typical Parisian and a great location to top off your Eiffel Tower photoshoot.

…OR ONLY A SHORT RIDE AWAY

Take an uber, cab or taxi and you can reach the following Paris photoshoot locations with just a short ride by car:

Alexander III bridge photoshoot

A beautiful and elegant bridge with golden statues. You still have a view on the Eiffel Tower from there, but it will be from further away.

Concorde Fountain

Concorde fountain with statues in gold and green spraying water is a beautiful spot for your Paris photo session. It’s in the same area as Alexander III bridge where you can continue with a Paris bridge photoshoot .

Golden Gate

The golden gate is another very elegant location for your photo session in Paris. It’s in the same area as Alexander III bridge.

Arc de Triomphe

The famous Arc de Triomphe is one of Paris most iconic landmarks, located by the famous Champs-Elysées street. It’s a good additional landmark easy to combine after some Eiffel Tower photos.

Eiffel Tower Photoshoot

Welcome to the pinnacle of Parisian elegance and romance—the Eiffel Tower. As one of the most iconic landmarks in the world, the Eiffel Tower is the perfect backdrop for your dream photoshoot. If you're searching for a Paris photographer who can capture your essence against this iconic backdrop, you've found the ideal spot. This page is all about our Eiffel Tower Photoshoot, designed to help you create lasting memories and commemorate your Parisian adventure.

A Glimpse of the Icon

The Eiffel Tower is, without a doubt, one of Paris's crown jewels. As one of the world's most famous monuments, it's not just a structure—it's a symbol of love, elegance, and timeless beauty. Our Eiffel Tower Photoshoot experience is a blend of capturing your radiant moments and ensuring the Eiffel Tower shines as your captivating backdrop.

The Eiffel Tower Phototour

My Eiffel Tower Phototour typically spans about 1 hour, as it's the optimal duration for a photo session at this iconic location. During this time, we'll explore the Eiffel Tower area and find the best spots to create stunning images that showcase you alongside this architectural masterpiece.

Unparalleled Quality

Every photograph taken during your Eiffel Tower Photoshoot is meticulously thought to maintain the highest standards of quality. My editing expertise extends beyond photography for bloggers, artists, and models, ensuring that your images radiate with perfection.

Your Parisian Guide

As a passionate lover of Paris, I'm here not only as your photographer but also as your resource. You're welcome to ask me questions about the city, and I'll be delighted to share insights and assist you in planning your journey. From hidden gems to cultural experiences, consider me your trusted Parisian advisor.

Exploring the Tower

While we'll create magical moments around the Eiffel Tower, please note that we won't be ascending the tower during the photo tour. If you wish to explore the tower's heights, you can conveniently purchase your tickets online, ensuring your visit goes smoothly.

The Magic of Early Mornings

On the day of your photoshoot, I recommend the early morning for two compelling reasons:

1. Avoiding Tourist Crowds : Early mornings provide the perfect opportunity for tranquility, especially at such a popular tourist spot. This ensures that you can capture your moments without interruptions.

2. The Splendor of Sunrise: Early morning light, particularly during the golden hour at sunrise, offers a soft, warm, and flattering illumination. This quality of light elevates your images, making your Eiffel Tower Photoshoot even more captivating and memorable.

Begin Your Eiffel Tower Adventure

Your Eiffel Tower Photoshoot is a declaration of your love for Paris and a testament to the beauty of your journey. If you're ready to commemorate your adventure, please let me know your preferred dates and the best time for your photoshoot. Together, we'll capture the magic and allure of the Eiffel Tower and the heart of Paris.

After the Photoshoot

Following your session, you'll receive access to your private photo gallery. Yu will be able to select your favorite pictures for me to edit. From this gallery, you can directly order printed versions, photo albums, frames, and cards to treasure these cherished moments.

I always do my best to make the photoshoot experience an important moment of your trip to Paris. Feel free to check revews on Max Rumeau Photography on google and on Tripadvisor.

My name is Mario Davila and my wife and I are hoping to find a photographer who can take some pictures of us at the Eiffel Tower while we are in Paris for our honeymoon. Ideally, we would like to have some early morning photographs at the Place du Trocadéro on Sept 2 or 3. From what we have seen online, the background of photographs at the Eiffel Tower often look overexposed or colorless when taken later, while sunrise pictures look quite beautiful at sunrise.

Would you be available in the morning on either 2 or 3? Sept 3 would be best. If you are available, can you tell us your price for a mini/short photoshoot at 1 or 2 Eiffel Tower locations?

Thank you! Mario and Janeth

Hi Mario, Janeth,

congratulations on your honeymoon in Paris. Talk about the best place to spend your first trip as a married couple.

20 Best Eiffel Tower Photo Spots in Paris (+ a Free map to Find Them)

Do you want to take some photos of the Eiffel Tower but you’re not sure where to go? This post will show you the best Eiffel Tower photo spots that will give you that star-stopping photo!

There is no doubt that the Eiffel Tower is the most photographed landmark in Paris and it’s not surprising to want to photograph it from various angles! 

I’ve seen the Eiffel Tower countless times and every time I do, I still get that burning urge to photograph it — I could urge that I have thousands of Eiffel Tower pics and I am shamelessly still taking more any chance I get! It never gets old!

You can read our  full disclosure here  for more details!

But even with my Eiffel Tower obsession ( yes, my jaw drops every time I ”discover a new stunning Eiffel Tower photo spot), there are some Eiffel Tower photo spots that stand out for me to photograph the iron lady from the rest!

So whether you’re visiting Paris for the first time and looking for places to take beautiful pictures of the Eiffel Tower or you’re a seasoned traveler who’s in constant search for the Eiffel Tower best view, in this post, I will share with you my favorite spots to take pictures of the Eiffel tower in Paris.

And while you can get views of the Eiffel Tower from various places, this post is not about where to see the Iron Lady whereby even just seeing the summit is fulfilling, but it’s rather about places where you can take some of the best Eiffel Tower photos and capture it in its full glory! 

But before we look at them, here are some of the Eiffel Tower photography tips to help you.

Before You Go, Here’s How to Plan Your Visit To Paris: Practical Quick Tips

WHERE TO STAY Best Eiffel Tower Views:  Hôtel Le Walt  (9.0) Luxury stay:  Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel  (8.2) Mid-range stay:  Hôtel Eiffel  (8.7) Budget Stay:  People – Paris Bercy  (8.9) Apartment Rental:  Résidence Charles Floquet  (9.1)

Eiffel Tower photography tips

Go at the right time

Plan to go early in the evening for a sunrise Eiffel Tower photo shoot or late in the evening for the sunset shoot.

You’ll get magnificent photos while still beating the crowds as most of these places receive very few people at those times.

Plan to walk a lot so wear comfortable shoes

Since most of the Eiffel Tower photo spots are not far from each other, the best way is to plan to see them on the same day especially if you just have a few days in Paris.

This means that you’ll walk a lot and the best way not to get worn out easily is by wearing comfortable walking shoes.

Pack the right essentials for the day

If the idea is to be outside for a number of hours, you’re better off carrying your day’s essentials. Below are a few things you should take with you.

• Extra batteries and memory card: These memory cards will work well since you’ll be taking lots of pictures.
• Re-usable Collapsible water bottle: Paris has a number of drinking water fountains so it’s better to take this reusable collapsible water bottle that you can just keep refilling instead of buying bottled water.
• A Power bank: If you plan to use your phone for some photos, your battery will run so take this portable power bank to stay connected all the time.
• Phone: Duh! There is no way you can forget it
• Anti-theft backpack: You’ll need such an anti-theft daypack to keep all your day’s travel items and since pickpockets are common, especially in crowded places, be sure that you can see it at all times. Also, do not randomly place it or any of your travel items on the ground without anyone watching them.
• You can also check out my complete Packing list for Paris to know exactly what to take.

Now that you know some of the Eiffel Tower photography tips, let’s look at the best Eiffel Tower photo spots not to miss.  

The Best Eiffel Tower Photo Spots

Read on to find out the best places for Eiffel Tower photos.

1. Trocadéro square

This is probably the most famous spot to go for an Eiffel Tower photo shoot and one of my favorite places actually. And since it is directly opposite the Eiffel Tower and a little bit raised, you’re bound to get the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

However, since it’s a popular Eiffel Tower Photo Spot, you can expect to find huge crowds and the best way to beat them is by either going early in the morning for a sunrise Eiffel Tower photo shoot or late in the evening at sunset.

At that time, the crowds will be fewer and you get to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at the most beautiful times of the day.

And a big plus about the Trocadéro is that you get to take photos of the Eiffel Tower from various angles and spots with the notable ones being the Staircase , the main Trocadéro square which creates a beautiful reflection if you visit at the right time, the Fountain of Warsaw which creates a magnificent backdrop of the Eiffel tower photos and not forgetting the Beautiful Trocadéro gardens which brings out the beautiful contrasting greenery in the Eiffel tower pic.

With all those features, it’s not hard to see why the Trocadéro is one of the most famous and best Eiffel Tower photo spots as you can get a variety of beautiful pictures of the Eiffel tower from just one spot.

2. Champs De Mars

Want to get up close Eiffel Tower pictures, then head to Champs de Mars ! It is a beautiful garden right next to the Eiffel Tower.

It might seem a bit small but it’s actually quite big and you can take Eiffel Tower photos from various angles. This spot is particularly more beautiful if you visit during springtime as it offers some of the best cherry blossoms in Paris.

Imagine a photo of the Eiffel Tower with beautiful pink flowers in it – it can’t get any prettier than this! Spring is actually my favorite season to photograph the Eiffel Tower at Champs de Mars.

However, even if you can’t visit Paris in springtime , any time of the year is a great time to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

And if you want to even take it a notch higher and get some of the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower, you can plan a picnic right at the footsteps of the Iron Lady at this gorgeous park.

3. Rue de l’Université

If you’re standing in front of the Eiffel Tower with the Champs de Mars behind you, just head left and you’ll find this popular Eiffel Tower photo spot, Rue de l’Université .

It’s one of the popular Instagram spots in Paris so you can be sure to find people here, and if it’s not that, you’ll find cars parked so you’ll just have to find a way to take pics of the Eiffel Tower at the right moment to miss the cars or the people.

What makes this street popular and beautiful is that you get incredible views of the Eiffel Tower, together with a cobblestoned street and the typical Parisian architecture in one photo.

In my opinion, it’s the perfect place to get the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower. However, be sure to go to the exact spot as this street is quite big (the 10th longest in Paris to be exact), so if you’re not keen enough, you might end up in the wrong spot.

So to make sure that you go to the Eiffel Tower photoshoot spot, I’ve included an interactive map in this post; you just need to click on it and you’ll know where exactly to go.

4. Passerelle Debilly

One of the beautiful Eiffel Tower Photo spots is the Passerelle Debilly ! This bridge that connects pedestrians from one side of the Seine to the other – from  Quai de New York  to the  Quai Branly is the perfect spot if you want to take Eiffel Tower pictures with the Seine River in them.

With the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the love locks, and the bridge in one frame, you’re guaranteed to have a spectacular Eiffel Tower pic.

5. Square Rapp

If you love taking street photos of the Eiffel Tower, then you’ll love Square Rapp . It is a hidden gem off Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The square overlooks the Eiffel Tower and various Haussmannian architecture-style buildings creating a beautiful Parisian charm and a one-of-a-kind Eiffel Tower photo op.

And, unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots, Square Rapp is still unknown to many or others just ignore it, which means that you can take countless photos and take in this Eiffel Tower street view without the crowds.

And while in this spot, don’t just stop at taking pics of the Eiffel Tower, take some time to walk down the entire Avenue Rapp and you’ll be treated to secret but beautiful places in Paris you didn’t think existed right in the heart of the capital; like the Lavirotte Building and its controversial doorway known as the “door of Avenue Rapp” and other Haussmann buildings.

This to me is the best street for Eiffel Tower photos!

6. Montparnasse Tower

Sometimes capturing the Eiffel Tower means going to one of the tallest buildings in Paris and Montparnasse Tower is the perfect spot.

With it being directly opposite the Eiffel Tower, you get unobstructed views which means that the Eiffel Tower pics will come out perfectly well with the iron lady protruding through Paris’ rooftops.

You can go to Montparnasse Tower at any time but in my opinion, the best time to go is at sunset to be able to capture the iron lady with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.

Unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots, you’ll need to pay to access the Montparnasse Tower rooftop but the stunning Eiffel Tower views you get are worth the price.

And to make sure that you skip the Paris long lines at Montparnasse Tower, grab yourself this skip-the-line entry ticket .

7. Rue St. Dominique

Famous for being one of the best shopping streets in Paris , Rue St. Dominique in the 7th arrondissement also never disappoints when it comes to being a perfect Eiffel Tower photo shoot spot.

With the view of the Eiffel Tower “embroidered” right in the middle of the street with various cafes and partisan buildings beside it, you can be sure you’ll get the perfect Eiffel Tower street photo.

And when you finish capturing that perfect Eiffel Tower photo, don’t be in a rush to leave yet as there are lots of things to do on this charming street.

From indulging yourself with famous Parisian pastries from the many bakeries, eating your heart out at the cute cafes in the area, or shopping until you drop from the many stores.

Regardless of what fills your heart, you’ll find something to do while on your Eiffel Tower photography journey in the area.

8. Seine River

From all the Eiffel Tower photo spots mentioned here, I think the Seine River is the best. I know I keep saying that at almost every spot but there is something about the Seine that brings out the magic and beauty of the Eiffel Tower.

Actually, there is not one specific spot to take photos of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine but rather a variety. So all you have to do is look for a place along the Seine but also near the Trocadero and you’ll be able to capture the Iron Lady clearly.

Other spots at the Seine you can go to photograph the Eiffel Tower include; Pont Alexandre III , Pont Neuf , or even on a Seine River cruise.

The big plus about taking the river cruise is that you’ll get to see the Eiffel Tower from different angles hence taking various photos.

You can take pics of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine at any time but I recommend going at night as you’ll be able to capture the Eiffel Tower with the reflection of the shimmering lights on the water which creates such a magical sight and photo op.

Pro tip* If you choose to go for a Seine cruise, I recommend taking this one if you prefer a day-time cruise but if you prefer photographing the Eiffel Tower as it shimmers at the top of the hour, I recommend taking this Seine river dinner cruise for an absolutely great time.

9. Pont de Bir Hakeim

Another bridge in Paris where you can take stunning photos of the Eiffel Tower is the Pont de Bir Hakeim . The bridge crosses the Seine connecting the 15th and 16th arrondissements .

Its prime location opposite 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.

While it’s not an incredibly busy bridge like some others, it’s an actual operational bridge with cars and pedestrians.

So while taking that perfectly framed Eiffel Tower pic, be on the lookout not to cause an accident! Being one of the best Eiffel Tower photoshoot ideas, it’s not uncommon to find wedding shoots going on here.

10. Pont d’Iéna

Probably the most famous spot to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night or even at sunset. With just a few steps from the Trocadéro, Pont De’lena is the easiest way to connect to the Eiffel Tower from both sides of the Seine – the left and right banks.

At this spot, you’ll literally look like you’re taking photos from under the Eiffel Tower which is quite a unique shot compared to ones taken from other places — something that makes Pont De’lena a really special Eiffel Tower photo spot.

11. Avenue de Camoens

If you’re looking for hidden or less crowded Eiffel Tower photo spots, then look no further than Avenue de Camoens in the 16th Arrondissement.

Since it is located at the top of a staircase, not so many people know about it which means that you’ll be able to take countless photos of the Eiffel Tower without feeling like you’re “hogging” the place.

With the staircase and beautiful Parisian buildings in the background, this place makes for a perfect Eiffel Tower photoshoot spot.

12. Rue de Monttessuy

If you’re like me who can’t get enough of street photos of the Eiffel Tower, then add Rue de Monttessuy in the 7th arrondissement to your Parisian bucket list .

Unlike other places that give that old Parisian charm, this spot has some newer buildings so it will be nice to have a little bit of contrast between the Eiffel Tower and the newer angle of Paris.

13. Galeries Lafayette Rooftop

Another place to take a stunning photo of the Eiffel Tower in Paris is the Galeries Lafayette Rooftop . This Parisian department store may be famous for shopping since it houses luxurious brands but its terrace offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower.

Unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots on this list, from here, you can see other popular attractions like the Paris Opera and not forgetting the stunning Paris roofs.

14. Arc de Triomphe observation deck is one of the Eiffel Tower Best Photo Spots

One of my all-time favorite spots to take photos of the Eiffel Tower is the Observation deck of the Arc de Triomphe !

What makes this spot perfect is that it’s not too high so you get to see everything clearly instead of seeing small items below. Besides the view of the Eiffel Tower, you also get to see how 12 roads diverge from the Arc.

Stunning and beautiful, this is one of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

However, since you need to climb the Arc, you’ll need to buy this skip-the-line ticket to avoid wasting time in queues.

15. From The Top Of Sacré Coeur

Being on the highest place in Paris, Sacré Coeur offers an opportunity to photograph the Eiffel Tower without any obstructions.

From here, you get a stunning view of the entire city too! I recommend going there at sunset to see the entire city covered in beautiful yellow-orange-hued colors.

You should note that you’ll need to climb the 300 steps here as there is no elevator and you’ll pay a small fee to climb to the dome even though visiting the church itself is free.

16. From Pont Alexandre III

Pont Alexandre III is my favorite bridge in Paris! Besides being beautifully made with golden statues and street lamps, it’s one of the places to take the best photos of Eiffel Tower.

With the beautiful bridge, the Seine, and the Iron Lady in one frame, this is truly one of the best Eiffel Tower picture ideas.

17. From Various Paris Hotels

While this may not be for everyone since hotels with Eiffel Tower views come with a huge price tag but if budget is not a problem, you may consider staying at one of those hotels.

Some of the hotels to stay at to be able to take stunning photos of the Eiffel Tower include; Shangri-La Paris hotel in the 16th Arrondissement, Hôtel Eiffel Petit Louvre in the 15th, Hotel Le Meurice in the 1st Arrondissement, and many others.

18. From Pont Neuf

Pont Neuf is not only one of the beautiful bridges of Paris but also the best spot to take Eiffel Tower pictures.

While you can go any time, I recommend going at sunset to enjoy a colorful and beautiful sunset with the Eiffel Tower and another bridge in the background!

19. From île aux Cygnes

Many people may not know this but Paris has 3 islands! The 2 natural ones, île Saint-Louis and île de la Cité , and the artificial one called île aux Cygnes in the 15th arrondissement which we’re talking about now.

île aux Cygnes is famous for having the most famous and biggest replica of the Statue of Liberty in Paris but besides this, it’s also one of the best Eiffel Tower photo spots.

Unlike other places we’ve looked at before, this one is a little bit less known for those looking for Paris hidden gems .

20. From Rue Le Tasse

Still looking for where to take the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower? Then head to Rue Le Tasse .

While most people flock to Rue de l’Université making it packed almost all the time, one street that equally gives the same Eiffel Tower photo opportunities is Rue Le Tasse in the 16th arrondissement.

So if you’re looking for Eiffel Tower photo ideas where you won’t “fight” for a spot with other Instagrammers, check this one out.

FAQs. About Eiffel Tower Photo Spots

Why can’t you take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night

This is not true as you can take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night and share them on your social media as you please.

While it’s ok for “ordinary use”, it’s not the case for professional use. The Eiffel Tower’s lighting and sparkling lights are protected by copyright which means that professional use of the photos of the Eiffel Tower at night requires prior authorization from Eiffel Tower’s management and may be subjected to a fee.

What is the best place for Eiffel Tower Picture?

If you’re one of the people that ask what is the best place to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Then the answer is it depends! It depends on the background or angle you prefer as a person.

Do you prefer a greenery background, then the best place for Eiffel Tower Picture would be Champs de Mars , do you like the reflection of the water in it, then the Seine is the best place to take a picture of the Eiffel Tower.

Do you prefer street Eiffel Tower photos, then head to either Rue de l’Université or Rue St. Dominique . But if you want your Eiffel Tower photos to have a bridge in them, then the best place where to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower in Paris would be either Pont de Bir Hakeim or Pont De’len . So as you can see, it varies from person to person depending on their taste.

But I hope that this breakdown helps you choose the best place to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

Where to find the best Eiffel Tower photo spots in Paris?

If you are keen to save time and head straight to the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower, read on! I assembled a list of wonderful places to realize your best Eiffel Tower picture ideas.

#1 Tour Montparnasse

Buy your ticket for the observation deck here

Keen to take unique photos of the Eiffel Tower? Head to the Observation Deck on the 56th floor of Montparnasse Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Paris. This tower is situated on 33 Avenue du Maine, nearby to the Edgar Quinet metro station.

The view of the Eiffel Tower from the Montparnasse Tower is simply jaw-dropping. You’ll get to see it surrounded by the rest of the city, which truly shows off its majestic scale. It is especially beautiful when you see Paris at night .

The best time to photograph this view is during sunset and right after it, when the Eiffel Tower lights up. As it’ll get dark quickly, you’ll need adequate photography gear, such as some great low-light lenses for the Sony a7III , to get the best evening transformation shots.

By Jiayi from The Diary of a Nomad

#2 Arc de Triomphe

One of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower is from the top of Arc de Triomphe. From here, you can see the 12 avenues departing in all directions from the Arc and, in the distance, the Eiffel Tower. From this vantage point, the Eiffel Tower stands out among the townhouses and tree-lined streets below. This view is particularly beautiful at sunrise and sunset.

At the time of writing, the admission fee to climb Arc de Triomphe is €12 for adults and free for children (under 18 years old). Do note the Arc de Triomphe has 284 stairs to climb, though there is an elevator for those unable to climb the stairs.

Recommended by Mikaela of Voyageur Tripper

#3 Rue de l’Université

Visiting the Eiffel Tower is always a France bucket list item. For one of the best Eiffel Tower photo spots, opt for Rue de l’Université.

Located to the right of the Eiffel Tower (if facing the Seine from the Eiffel Tower side), you’re only a 3-minute walk from the tower itself. This little tucked-away street dead-ends right where you see breathtaking views of the Iron Lady.

While this is far less crowded than the usual spots like Jardin de la Tour Eiffel or Jardins du Trocadéro, it is becoming increasingly popular thanks to many Instagram photos. So, the best way to see this outstanding viewpoint or get photos of your own would be to get here early.

Thanks Kat , for the suggestion

#4 Centre Pompidou

Thanks Kenny, for this gorgeous Eiffel Tower picture Idea!

Centre Pompidou is a world-class contemporary art museum, one of the many impressive buildings in Europe that redefine architecture . Not many visitors would know, though it is also a great spot to view the Eiffel Tower, as the building is slightly higher than its surroundings. Besides, the architecture of this museum features an outdoor escalator surrounded by glass, offering an unobstructed panoramic view.

On the 5th floor of the center, the balcony has the best view of the Eiffel Tower standing between beautiful houses, together with art pieces from great artists from Miro, Richier, and Ernst.

#5 Rue de Monttessuy

Thanks for the contribution, Jenifer from The Evolista

Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in France , offers unexpected delights at every turn. Whether it’s a hidden café or a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower on a quiet street , it reminds you of why this city is so unique.

The Rue de Monttessuy is one such street that makes you feel like you are getting a special view that no one else is so lucky to see. Manage to be there right at sunset when there is a 5-minute light show, and you’ll pretty much have it all to yourself. To find it, do a search for the restaurant Au Bon Accueil , where you should definitely have a lovely dinner after the show.

#6 Pont Alexandre II

If you’re looking for spectacular photo opportunities of the Eiffel Tower, look no further than Pont Alexandre III. It is one of the most beautiful Parisian bridges and also a good location for stunning photos if you are traveling to Paris on a budget .

This picturesque bridge is not only one of the most Instagrammable places in Paris , but it also offers the perfect angle to capture Paris’ most famous landmark in all its glory. From here, you can also see the Seine River and the beautiful Haussmannian architecture of the city’s Left Bank.

Although you can visit the bridge any time of the day, it’s particularly beautiful at sunset. If you have a telephoto lens, make sure to bring it with you!

Pont Alexandre III is between the 7th and 8th arrondissement of Paris and can easily be reached on foot from the Eiffel Tower or from the Champs-Élysées. The closest metro stations are Invalides and Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau.

#7 Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Pont de Bir-Hakeim must be one of Paris’ most underrated sights . It has a beautiful design, and it is one of the best photo spots of the Eiffel Tower, combining both the unique design elements of the bridge with Paris’ most famous icon.

The Pont de Bir Hakeim is one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris, constructed between 1903 and 1905 and made of steel. It is often used for infinity shots and for sunrise shoots with the Eiffel Tower.

The steel design of the bridge works very well with the Eiffel Tower in one shot. This photo spot is especially worth visiting in the early morning during sunrise. Seeing the sun rising behind the Eiffel Tower, creates the best photo opportunities you could wish for.

#8 Galeries Lafayette Rooftop

One of the best spots in Paris for photos of the Eiffel Tower is the rooftop terrace at Galeries Lafayette . The terrace is located atop the iconic Parisian department store and offers breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and other famous landmarks in Paris.

To get there, head to Galeries Lafayette in the 9th arrondissement and take the elevator to the 6th floor; from there, you’ll join a queue to get to the 8th floor terrace.

The terrace is open daily until 8 pm. For the best views, visit during sunset or in the evening when the tower is sparkling. During the summer, you can visit the terrace’s pop-up restaurants to enjoy dinner with a dazzling view.

#9 Trocadero

If you’re looking for the best photo spots of the most iconic monument  France is famous for  – the Eiffel Tower, Trocadero should be definitely on your list.

Trocadero is an open space tucked between the two wings of Palais de Chaillot. Because the area is elevated, Trocadero boasts an outstanding view of the gardens and an impressive fountain below, and the Iron Lady in the distance. The best photo spot is on the stairs down to the gardens. Come here at sunrise for the stunning, golden light.

To get here, get off at Trocadero Metro Stop via line 6 or 9, and you’ll find the spot on your right.

By Mal from Raw Mal Roams 

#10 Rue Azaïs in Montmartre

When planning a Paris itinerary, a little-known benefit of visiting during winter is the ability to see the Eiffel Tower from as far away as Montmartre !

Tucked away from the Sacre Coeur and at rooftop level, Rue Saint-Éleuthère . The street gradually inclines, with the best spot to see the Eiffel Tower from its peak. From here, however, one of the neighbors has a sizeable television aerial mounted to their roof, which may be difficult to eliminate out of the shot.

But if you wander up around the corner to Rue Azaïs , you’ll be rewarded. With a car park and trees spanning its length, the higher elevation and position between winter’s bare trees allow for a unique perspective of the Eiffel Tower! Not surprising that this view inspired many artists and you find some of their best Paris quotes here.

Contributed by Alyse from The Invisible Tourist

#11 L’Oiseau Blanc

Put on your most fabulous outfit and dine at L’Oiseau Blanc, a fine-dining restaurant with a stellar view of the Eiffel Tower from your table. The romantic French restaurant is located on the rooftop of the luxurious Peninsula Hotel and is the perfect way to celebrate an anniversary or honeymoon with your loved one.

Make your reservation before sunset, so you can watch the Eiffel Tower change as it goes from day to night. After nightfall, you will get to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle. This happens for five minutes at the top of every hour. It’s one of the most glamorous things to add to your Paris itinerary .

contributed by Cecily from Groovy Mashed Potatoes

Voilà, the best spots to snap stunning pictures of the Eiffel Tower! Make sure you put them on your list for your next trip.

What is the difference between these 2 Moscow metro tours on the same tour group page? One is less expensive than the other but both have positive reviews.

https://www.getyourguide.com/moscow-l181/moscow-metro-tour-t19283/

We would like to go on this tour but could not decide which one to book. Thank you.

I see the only difference - one mentioned Spanish-speaking guide, the other not-presumably English...

I've seen one more - for 60+ euro!

Looks a bit unreal :)))
