14 Awesome Places to Take a Picture of the Eiffel Tower
When in Paris, there are so many pictures to take… and of course, you’ll want to get some trendy pics for the gram while you’re here.
Not sure where to go in the city for the best view of the iron lady?
I’ve got you covered!
Here’s my starting list of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower:
Le Centre Pompidou
If you guys read my blog a lot, then you’ll know this is one of my favorite spots. It’s a big, ugly museum near the center of Paris… you can never miss it!
Just don’t make the mistake I’ve made the past few times; you don’t need to buy a ticket to go up. Just go through security, and follow the escalators to the left all the way up.
There’s a little outdoor spot to sit for free too if you follow the signs!
Overall, one of my favorite 100% free views of the Eiffel tower and Paris.
Galleries Lafayette
For years, I was trying to come here – and the men would always say it’s closed. It’s not.
Just take the elevators all the way up to the top floor.
I love to take pictures near the flowers!
Top of Le Arc de Triomphe
This one is a little pricy, €13 – but worth to do it at least once.
Le Grand Rue at Jardin des Tulieres
This might be my all-time favorite view of Paris now.
Since you’re smack in the center of the city, you can see every monument everywhere you turn.
This ferris wheel is totally worth the €12 ticket!
Pont de la Concorde
Before sunrise is nice…
… but I absolutely adore marveling in my city at night from this spot.
Avenue de Saxe
I just found this wandering around my neighborhood one afternoon…
… Paris never gets old.
Tower Montparnasse
Many people know this is another old time favorite of mine.
It’s expensive, but you’ll never get a better dead-on view of the Eiffel Tower.
There’s a nice rooftop bar (that’s finally open again) up there too!
Pont Alexandre III
Everyone knows this one; I can’t tell you how many times I walk on this bridge and wedding photos or commercials are being shot.
Clearly, there’s a good reason why!
Rue de l’universite
Seriously, one of my all-time favorite picture spots.
I love to walk here with friends!
Avenue Bosquet
I can’t tell you how much I love to run and suddenly see the Eiffel Tower as my view and motivation.
Rue Grenelle
Walking back from the city center, I love to see this view…
Rue St. Domonique
But Rue Saint Domonique is also fantastic!
At sunrise…
In the day…
And at night…
Quai Branley
Walking around here near Pont L’alma is sure to get you a good picture of the Eiffel Tower.
And there you go! Just a few of my favorite places to spot the Eiffel tower and take a fantastic picture. I have a few more…
… but you’ll just have to keep reading or watching to find them all.
