Metropolis is a quaint little town that realizes its bread and butter is Superman tourism. The whole town can be visited in half a day, but it's adorable that the area has embraced the Man of Steel in every way they can. The most famous landmark is the Superman statue outside of the courthouse, but there are plenty of photo op places around town.
The Lois Lane statue is a few blocks up the road, but the lesser known landmark is the Kryptonite the other direction outside the abandoned Hollywood Museum. There used to be a Daily Planet globe outside of the newspaper, but that sculpture has been moved in front of Lois now since I think the newspaper went out of business.
The Super Museum has plenty of photo ops outside of the building and a wide array of Superman souvenirs inside. The museum itself has gathered just about every collectible item having to do with Superman you can imagine. And I'd forgotten how many shows based on some aspect of the Superman lore there actually were. The sheer volume of STUFF is overwhelming.
