Though nothing compares to the view from the Eiffel Tower Summit<\/a>, viewing the monument from some specific locations will transport you to a fantastical landscape. Here are some of the most popular places which to view the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n

1. Jardins Du Trocad\u00e9ro<\/h3>\n

The Trocadero Gardens are located on the north west side of the monument and across the Seine. It offers a wide array of vantage points and angles to view the tower. This is your go-to option if you\u2019re looking for some funky photographs with Eiffel Tower in the backdrop. <\/p>\n

As Trocadero is generally crowded, the best time to visit it would be the sunrise. With orange hue on the horizon, behind the Eiffel Tower, it is quite a sight to behold.

Many would say that this is the best place to view the Eiffel Tower. After climbing 284 steps, you not only get a great panoramic view of the city, but also the Eiffel Tower from an ideal height of around 50 meters above ground level. The best time to climb the tower is an hour before sunset as you get to see the Eiffel Tower at night. <\/p>\n

3. Pont de Bir-Hakeim<\/h3>\n

The bridge offers a great view of the tower as it is in close proximity to the tower.

Where to go on an Eiffel Tower photo op?<\/h2>\n

No visit to Paris is complete without a gorgeous photograph of the Eiffel Tower to show your friends and family. The city has a great number of spots that offer stunning views, however, if you are looking for a clean shot during the daytime, these three spots have the best views of Tower on your Eiffel Tower Tour<\/a>. <\/p>\n

1. River boat on the placid Seine<\/h3>\n

The boats on Seine are famous for not only offering unique views of the tower, but also of other popular monuments in the city.

2. Montparnasse Tower<\/h3>\n

The tallest building in the city, albeit still a few meters shorter than the Eiffel, the Montparnasse Tower<\/a> offers a unique vantage point and the best place to view Eiffel Tower.
