This is my 2nd favorite monument in Paris, and a must-see for any visitor. The outside is spectacular enough, so not sure going inside is worth it if you’re in a rush and it’s crowded.

I would recommend going to the stop ‘Trocadéro' & walking across the Pont d'Iéna to the Eiffel Tower; you get a great view walking up, and you avoid the herds of people taking the Bir Hakeim stop.
