Jardin du Trocadero

This is the best site to admire the Eiffel and its surroundings. The immense plus and difference with other capital cities is that Paris has so much space so it hardly gets crowded. This is also the best place to be in the evening where you want to admire the Eiffel with sparkling lights. Don't forget, this happens only at every full hour and it works only 5 minutes. The best hour is 22.00 or 23.00 and make sure you are there about 30-20 minutes before, so you can reserve yourself a good place. It is worth the short wait because a good spot makes you see and enjoy better. Why it loses a star: because of the annoying street sellers that want to sell you those no-quality Eiffel figurines... Don't fall for that. It's a bad quality as it costs. Just don't even look at them and they will leave you alone the fastest.... During the day, there is still one big downside in the summer: no shade. So better visit in the morning or evening.

The Jardins du Trocadéro is hands-down one of the most iconic spots in Paris—and for good reason. Situated directly across from the Eiffel Tower, the gardens offer a picture-perfect view that feels almost unreal, especially at sunrise or when the tower sparkles at night. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find tourists posing, couples lounging, and street performers adding a little rhythm to the atmosphere. The main highlight is the impressive Fountain of Warsaw, with its symmetrical water displays that create an elegant frame for the Iron Lady in the background. The open spaces, terraces, and neatly trimmed lawns are perfect for a picnic or a stroll—just don’t be surprised if you end up in a stranger’s photo. While the gardens themselves are free and open to the public, their charm really comes alive with the Eiffel Tower looming behind. It’s not the quietest park in Paris, but that’s part of the energy—it’s lively, it’s romantic, and it’s steeped in history. A few cons: watch out for pickpockets, and vendors can be a bit aggressive. Still, it’s worth every moment, especially if you’re seeing Paris for the first time. Final verdict? Jardins du Trocadéro is a must-see—come for the view, stay for the vibes.

Jardins du Trocadéro provided a fantastic introduction to Paris! Seeing the Eiffel Tower in person for the first time was truly awesome – it's so much more impressive than in pictures. Interestingly, I found that the views and photos captured from the Jardins du Trocadéro were actually better than when I was right next to the tower itself.

A great assemble of buildings, gardens and squares. A well known meeting and relaxing place. An area where you find all kind of street’s artists and all nations. The best point fo take photos of the Tour Eiffel and surroundings.

This is best view of the Eiffel Tower! We took an early morning metro ride here! The metro lets you out RIGHT at this location. We arrived before sunrise as there wasn’t anyone around & we got the entire sunrise to ourselves watching the Eiffel Tower & sleepy Paris awaken. It is such a beautiful view with the tower right in front of you. The park came to life around 8 AM as the crowds filled in!
