10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Sanremo That You Shouldn't Miss
With a comfortable climate that varies little throughout the year, Sanremo has been a favored tourist destination since the mid-1700s, attracting visitors from all over Europe, including heavy contingents of Russian and British aristocracy. For many, the long stretch of beach is the main attraction, but don’t miss the impressive casino or the hillside medieval section of town called La Pigna. Every year since 1951, the city has hosted Italy’s popular Sanremo Music Festival.

It is hard to visit Sanremo without also going for a stroll through the pedestrianised main street, beautiful in day- and nighttime with all the lights. There is a decorative pattern of flagstones on the ground and the mostly traditional houses on the sides are no more than 3 or 4 storey high. Among the most prominent buildings on this street are the 'Ariston Theatre' and the 'Palazzo Borea d'Olmo', now housing the 'Museo Civico'. Begun in the middle of the 19th century the street was originally called the 'Strada Nuova', later named after king Vittorio Emanuele II. After WW II it was renamed - as so many streets in Italy - after Giacomo Matteotti, a socialist politician from the Veneto, who in 1924 as a socialist parlamentarian had held a strong speech against Benito Mussolini. A few days later he was abducted by 'Squadrati' (Blackshirts) and murdered outside Rome. It was the beginning of Mussolini's fascist reign. When walking through the Corso Matteotti one will constantly be reminded of winning songs of the famous Sanremo Music Festival, be it by bronze plaques, information boards or especially by illuminated letters high up on ropes.

San Remo is a great place to visit and to fall in love with ! What we like the most is to visit the market on Saturday and Tuesday, enjoy first a great Italian coffee, have lunch at the many nice Italian restaurants ( we prefer La Vita e bella or Mare Blu ), go for a bicycle ride along the Mediterranean, and end the day with an Aperol Spritz and complimentary appetizers. The beach is best at Oasis, they serve good food & drinks as well and the chaise lounges & umbrellas are reasonably priced. Go there ! Don’t forget to visit the Casino and Via Matteotti, the pedestrian shopping street !
