In what arrondissement of Paris is the Eiffel Tower located?

The Eiffel Tower is located in Paris’s 7th arrondissement. It stands on the Champ de Mars, beside the Seine and across from the Trocadéro area.

The arrondissement is one of Paris’s 20 administrative districts, on the city’s Left Bank. It includes major landmarks such as Les Invalides, the Musée d’Orsay, and parts of the Latin Quarter’s western surroundings. The tower’s exact setting is often described by its nearby green space rather than by arrondissement number.

A common mix-up is confusing the Eiffel Tower with the Trocadéro, which is directly across the river in the 16th arrondissement. The tower itself, including its principal entrance and grounds, is in the 7th. Construction began in 1887, and the monument opened for the 1889 Exposition Universelle.
