The Eiffel Tower in Paris claims the top spot for the most photogenic landmark in Europe, and it comes as no surprise! This structure looks incredible from every angle.

When it comes to taking the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower, Lizzie James, Product Specialist at Jessops said: "For the best daytime shots of the Eiffel Tower, it's best to use a wide-angle camera lens to capture the entire structure in all its glory."

"I also recommend shooting early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the harsh midday light and crowds. Plus, images taken at sunrise or sunset with soft, golden light give the Tower a beautiful backdrop."
