    Fontaine du Soleil is one of the most popular landmarks in the city of Nice. This fountain features a statue of Apollo, who symbolizes the sun, along with bronze statues that denote planets. The statue is a tourist spot, and is a must visit if you happen to be in the vicinity.

        Beautifully landscaped fountain on a large square with tram stop. This place is easily accessible from the train station.
