Paris, France

The Eiffel tower lights up every hour after 9pm.

The Trocadero, view from the second landing of the Eiffel tower (above).
View from the floor of the Trocadero. Of note, if you are planning to ascend the Eiffel tower to the top, make sure you stand in the correct line. The line is usually 300 miles long, and not all lines lead to "Rome". The first line that you first encounter is usually the correct one, if you were approaching the tower from the river Seine. The lines further back with entry into the hind-legs, excuse the pun, at least when we were there, lead to only the second landing, and you have to walk up the stairs. To be sure just trace the lines to it's origin before standing for 1-2 hours.
