The hidden gem for enjoying the best views of the Eiffel Tower in Paris
In the French capital, the Trocadéro Square is not the only place where you can take a good look at this iconic monument.
Traveling is, without a doubt, one of people’s favorite activities - and it’s the perfect excuse to take a vacation, break away from your daily routine, leave your city behind, and clear your mind.
One of the most popular and timeless destinations is France - but not just anywhere in the country. The real magnet is Paris, and of course, a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Many travelers even choose to go up the tower to take in sweeping views of the city from above.
It’s a monument you can admire from a prime vantage point at Trocadéro Square. But if you’re looking for a lesser‑known spot where you can enjoy the view with fewer crowds, you only need to walk less than a mile away.
Where to find the perfect Eiffel Tower vantage point
This hidden viewpoint is located at the Musée de l’Homme. Strolling along Avenue d’Eylau, all it takes is lifting your gaze when you reach Place du Mexique to enjoy a striking look at the Eiffel Tower.
The best time to visit is at night, when the tower’s own illumination and the atmosphere of the area combine to create a spectacular visual experience.
In the same square where you can take in the Eiffel Tower, you’ll also find Café du Mexique - a great place to grab a drink. It opens at 7:30 in the morning and closes at 1:00 a.m., and you can even enjoy the view of the monument from there as well.
