No visit to Paris is complete without a visit to the Eiffel tower. The outside is for your iconic Paris photos, probably best with a stroll across the river to the Place du Trocadero or on the same side by walking to the end of the Champ du Mars. Buy timed tickets well in advance to ascend. Don’t miss views from the second floor as well as the top (views from the second level in some ways are better than from the top).
