Part of Paris first day, without making it miserable

Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro

Still the easiest place to start if someone wants that first Paris hit right away. Big open view, obvious payoff, and much better earlier before the plaza fills up.

Location

Trocadéro / Eiffel Tower - Paris, France

Things to Know

: You do not need to go up the tower for this route to work. If you do want to go up, book in advance so it does not eat half the day.

: The plaza is always open. Tower entry hours vary by season.

A note from Emma

I would keep this early every single time. It is just better before the crowd arrives.
