What to See in Trocadero
Trocadero and its Passy district form an area of small parks, tree-lined avenues, Haussmann-style buildings, elegant shops, and embassies from various countries.
The Jardines del Trocadero, located on the other side of the Sena where the unmissable Eiffel Tower stands (just a short walk across the Pont d'Iéna bridge), are a must-visit for tourists; adorned with ponds, sculptures, and fountains, they are beautifully illuminated at nightfall.
These English-style gardens, filled with chestnut trees, beech trees, and linden trees, are an ideal spot to take a break with a view while exploring the city.
At the top of the gardens lies the Plaza del Trocadero, where crowds of tourists gather and locals meet to skate and have fun. From here you can enjoy la mejor vista de la Torre Eiffel, the best spot for your most memorable travel photo.
On the Trocadero Square stands the Palacio de Chaillot, built for the 1937 World's Fair. Its facilities include the Naval Museum, the Museum of Mankind, and the Museum of Architecture.
Also next to Trocadero Square is the Acuario de París, a popular destination for families with children which is included in the money-saving pass known as the Paris Pass.
Thanks to its location and peaceful atmosphere, this elegant Paris neighborhood is a great option if you want to stay just steps away from the most important areas while enjoying greater safety and quiet. If you'd like to explore this area further, why not stay in one of these hotels in Trocadero.
