See the lights of the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is open until late, staying open until midnight during the summer months! You can see Paris from a different perspective and enjoy panoramic views over the city lights when you head to the top of the tower. This is a great thing to do if you’re visiting Paris as a couple, as it’s very romantic – perfect if you’re planning on popping the question!
If you don’t fancy heading to the top, the outside of the Eiffel Tower lit up at nighttime is a spectacular sight. The golden lights come on automatically every night once it gets dark, thanks to light sensors. There’s also a beacon at the top shining out over Paris. The tower sparkles at the start of every hour after the lights come on.
Here are some of the best places to see it from:
- Place du Trocadero
- Parc du Champ-de-Mars
