1. The large square of Trocadéro
One of the best Instagram photo spots in Paris is Trocadéro. From here, you can have the perfect view of the Eiffel Tower.
Especially during sunrise, this is one of the most magical places I have ever seen. Therefore, if you would go to Paris for one day, I'd recommend starting your day here!
Early in the morning, it is very empty here. That is very unique because during the day there are always many tourists. Thus, it's best to take your photos very early at Trocadéro.
Even though this is the perfect photo spot, you should also go here if you don't want to take photos. This is an amazing place to start your day. The first time I went here, I couldn't believe my eyes!
Trocadéro has several great places to take photos. The huge square is very photogenic, especially when it's empty.
2. Close to the Eiffel Tower at Trocadéro
You can also walk a bit towards the Eiffel Tower because that looks beautiful too.
If you want to wear a dramatic dress, then Trocadéro is perfect as well! You will often see people doing photoshoots in their wedding dresses here.
Furthermore, many people propose here as well. That's why it's one of the most romantic places to propose in Paris!
3. Before the stairs of Trocadéro
After taking some photos at this large square, you can walk towards the stairs.
Before going down, you can take a photo at this spot in front of the stairs. This is definitely one of the most magical spots at Trocadéro! Also, you can take a photo here without seeing the staircase. This looks very unique.
4. The stairs of Trocadéro
After that, you can go down the stairs! These stairs are very popular for photos.
It's fun to take a photo as if you're walking on the stairs.
If you want to take many photos here, it's best to first take the previous three photos. These spots get busier.
I'd recommend taking your photos both close by and a bit farther away. If you do that, the photos look completely different from each other.
For example, the photo below is in the same place as the photo above, but it looks very different!
Moreover, you can also sit on the railing of the stairs! I like this position a lot and it looks very dreamy.
5. At the lower level of Trocadéro
If you walk down the stairs, you will stumble upon another square. From here, you can also take wonderful shots.
Since all these photo spots are at the same place, you don't even have to walk a lot, which is great!
As you see, Trocadéro is one of the best places to view the Eiffel Tower. Trocadéro has its own metro station, so it's very easy to get here by public transport. You can also go here by bus if you prefer that.
6. La Maison Rose
La Maison Rose also belongs to the best photo spots in Paris! This is a very romantic building.
One of the things that's most amazing about this place is that the color of the building is pink!
Furthermore, La Maison Rose is in Montmartre, which is a lovely neighborhood in Paris. You should definitely explore Montmartre when you're in the city because you will love it.
It depends on the season whether there are leaves on La Maison Rose or not. But, no matter what, La Maison Rose is always stunning!
7. Passage des Panoramas
Passages are very typical for Paris! There are many charming passages. But Passage des Panoramas is the most photogenic one.
The atmosphere here is amazing and the shops are stunning as well. If you take a photo here, you get the perfect Paris vibes on your feed!
Furthermore, this is also a great place to be when it's raining in Paris. And it is a great free activity in Paris. Besides having a look at all the cute shops, you can have something to drink here as well. So visiting this place is amazing!
8. The Sacré-Cœur
The Sacré-Cœur is one of the best things to do in Paris. Furthermore, it belongs to the best Instagram photo spots in Paris!
The architecture of the Sacré-Cœur is very beautiful. One of the most beautiful places to capture the basilica is at the back of it.
The front is very photogenic as well, but there are fewer crowds at the back of it. If you're in the city, I do recommend also seeing the front of the building.
I made these photos in the afternoon and it wasn't busy at all at this side of the basilica! The Sacré-Cœur is in Montmartre, very close to La Maison Rose.
It's also an idea to explore the streets surrounding the Sacré-Cœur. You can take some photos with other parts of Montmartre and the basilica a bit farther away.
I'd also recommend going inside the Sacré-Cœur! It's a great experience to see the inside of the most famous basilica in Paris.
9. Avenue de Camoëns
This is another gorgeous spot in the City of Love. It's perfect to get a view of the Eiffel Tower.
The houses here are very typical for Paris, making this place even more beautiful. If you love Parisian architecture, it's amazing.
It can get busy here, but not as busy as at Trocadéro! So you don't have to be here very early to take some great photos.
10. Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe is a famous sight in Paris and it looks very impressive. Thus, it belongs to the best Instagram spots in Paris for sure. The building is very beautiful and large.
You can also climb the Arc de Triomphe if you like that.
There are usually many cars on the road surrounding the Arc de Triomphe.
But I didn't make these photos very early in the morning. I only waited a few minutes. When there weren't any cars for a short time, I took a picture.
Yet, some days are busier than others, so it might not always work. In that case, it's better to go here earlier.
You can photograph the Arc de Triomphe from different angles!
11. On top of the Sacré-Cœur
You can also climb the Sacré-Cœur. Few people know that, but it's an amazing experience!
When you're on top of the basilica, you can have a great view of Paris. You can even see the Eiffel Tower!
It's a very photogenic view and definitely one of the best Instagram photo spots in Paris.
12. The entrance gate of the Louvre
The Louvre is one of my favorite places in Paris. It's one of the best museums in Paris. But it's also very photogenic from the outside!
There are many angles from where you can take photos of the Louvre.
Yet, the entrance gate is my favorite spot for sure. I love how you see the symmetry of the Louvre from here.
13. In front of the pyramid of the Louvre
You can sit in front of the pyramid of the Louvre. This is also a beautiful place for pictures. I love the symmetry of the pyramid here.
Especially when it's busy, you can get a great photo here without the crowds!
14. Cafe next to the Louvre
If you're already at the Louvre, you should not miss this cafe! The view of the Louvre from here is amazing and it's very Instagrammable.
Furthermore, you can have great food here, but also some good coffee. It's the perfect place to sit down for a while and enjoy your time in Paris.
15. Lamarck-Caulaincourt
For a typical Parisian street, you should go to Lamarck-Caulaincourt!
It has everything you need for the perfect photo. There are Parisian houses and there's a typical Parisian metro entrance.
You can take many kinds of photos here. For example, this photo is a bit more close-up.
16. Le Refuge
Even the restaurants in Paris are beautiful! The restaurant in the background of the previous spot is gorgeous as well! Thus, you should definitely take a photo there too.
It's also lovely to sit on the terrace of Le Refuge!
17. Views from a hotel
The architecture in Paris is very recognizable. For that reason, the houses in Paris are great for photos.
Many hotels in Paris have a view of Parisian buildings!
If your hotel has that too, it's definitely another great photo spot! Some hotel rooms even have a view of the Eiffel Tower and that's even more Instagrammable.
18. Le Consulat
Le Consulat is one of the cutest buildings in Paris. You can find the building in the center of Montmartre. Because of the architecture, this belongs to the best Instagram photo spots in Paris. Also, it's a very famous building.
It can get very busy here, so I'd recommend visiting this place in the morning!
19. Champ de Mars
Champ de Mars is a beautiful park near the Eiffel Tower. From there, you can have amazing views. This park is always photogenic, but it's even more beautiful when the trees turn pink.
This usually happens in March, April, and May. But even if you are not visiting Paris in spring and the trees aren't pink, you will get great pictures here!
20. Musée d’Art moderne-palais de tokyo
Waiting for the bus isn't a fun thing to do, but that changes with this amazing view! I love this spot, as it shows what daily life in Paris is like.

For those who don't know the movie Inception, this might look like just another bridge.
But if you're a fan of the movie, you might recognize this bridge! Nevertheless, this is a beautiful place to take photos no matter what.
The Eiffel Tower looks great from here and I love the lamp on the ceiling of the bridge!
25. Rue Crémieux
