We discovered the best places to take the best photos of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

The last thing you can do is plan to visit a famous tourist spot and not get the best photo. Imagine if this occurs on your first visit to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France? Even more than the best photos of Paris are around  La dame de fer or Iron Lady Parisian (yes, the it shares the same nickname of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher).

To help with this task, we have listed some places in the city of light with the best angles of the tower, from the most common and clichés to those used by professional photographers.

Best places to take photos of the Eiffel Tower in Paris

Let’s finally go to the list of the best places to take the best photo of the Tower in Paris.


1. Avenue de Camoens

Used by many professional photographers serving the city, this spot was a discovery from our last trip to Paris. A unique view of the Tower in a place that is always empty. Enjoy the street itself, with its stairs, lampposts and houses with typical architecture of the French capital, so that your photo with the Eiffel Tower is even more beautiful.

2. Place du Trocadéro

The beginning of Trocadero Square has a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower and a differentiator compared to the esplanade is the possibility to take those cute pictures to share with your friends on Instagram or Facebook. They are always successful! 🙂

3. Esplanade du Trocadéro

One of the most common and tourist-filled places in Paris, but with a beautiful view and a mandatory stop. You will see many professional photographers working around here, try to copy the places they are photographing. A warning, beware of pickpockets and street vendors.

4. Parc Jardins du Trocadéro

Explore every corner of the park, including in your photo not only the Eiffel Tower, but also the water fountains, the trees and some gems, such as the beautiful carousel. The types of photos that get a lot of clicks on the Instagram feed, no?

5. Rue de l’Université

As you leave Trocadero Park towards the Eiffel Tower, turn left and enter Plaza Campo de Marte along Rue de l’Université. Another place used by professional photographers in Paris.

6. Parc Champ de Mars

Another place with many tourists and a beautiful view of the Tower. Plan to have a Pique Nique there, whatever the time, whether you want to spend the afternoon, watch the sunset or wait for the tower’s flashing show. These are classic photos of Paris that will be a big hit on your Instagram.

8. Parvis du Sacré-Cour

In addition to the Sacré-Cour Cathedral being beautiful, from its patio and stairs it is possible to have a beautiful view of the city, including a unique view of the Eiffel Tower. The staircase is where the most people are, but if you walk down the street in front of the church, you’ll find some very different viewpoints for your photos of the city.

9. Galeries Lafayette

At the top of the Gallery there is a bar/restaurant and a synthetic lawn with a beautiful view of the city, including the Eiffel Tower. It’s worth including the climb, after strolling through this shopper’s paradise.

10. Jardin des Tuileries

The park is beautiful, well worth the trip and even though it is far from the Eiffel Tower, it makes up for it with a view that not every tourist includes in their itinerary. You can even play with looking for the tiny tower in your photos.

11. Alexandre III Bridge

The Pont Alexandre III which is next to the Jardin des Tuileries has a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower, especially if you include the sculptures that are along the bridge. Some photos that your friends will hardly have the same.

12. Ecole Militaire

Far away from Trocadero and Campo de Marte, you can see the Eiffel Tower from different parts of the city. A place that we recommend for you to take your photos of Paris is the square in front of the Military School of Paris, whose building is beautiful and matches the photo a lot.

13. Eiffel Tower

Yes, it is also possible to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower on the Tower itself! Both when walking under the structure and when going up to its restaurant and viewpoint.

[Extras] Take a picture of the Eiffel Tower elsewhere from Paris

One thing we joke about is that you can’t walk around the city of Paris without having the beautiful Tower in your sight (lie, it’s just for a few points… lol), but be sure to click every view you find.

It’s never too much!
