The best viewpoints to see the Eiffel Tower

No other landmark represents the city of Paris better than the iconic Eiffel Tower. It stands for love, light and the “joie de vivre” (the joy of life). 
With its 330 meters of height the Eiffel Tower can be seen from several locations across the city. 
Some viewpoints are great, some are crowded, some are too far away and some are way too close. Here are the three best view points to take amazing photos or for simply admiring the once in a lifetime experience of the Eiffel Tower’s night time sparkles. 1. Rue de l’Université – A great spot, right next to the main entrance area of the Eiffel Tower. It offers a beautiful view framing the Eiffel Tower with typical Parisian facades. 2. Avenue de Camoens – This viewpoint at the end of a calm and quiet street resembles a balcony directly facing the iconic tower. 3. Rue Saint-Dominique – A rather bustling place in a lively neighborhood with many cafes and bars. You can frame the Eiffel Tower with these typical Parisian street life sceneries. #paris #viewpoint #eiffeltower
