Traveler reviews
Joseph Forrester
★★★★★a month agoHighly recommend place to visit in Nice, lots of climbing. Be prepared in the hot water and make sure you bring lots of water.
Steve Bintley
★★★★★4 months agoA beautiful spot in the city and a must visit for any first time visitors. It’s a bit of a maze climbing the hill and I didn’t find the signposts too helpful, but when you do reach the fountain it’s a great relaxing area, with wonderful views over the city and coast. The fact it remains free to go to the area is great, and the cafes once there are a nice place to recover. It was one of the highlights of my time in the city.
