Sanremo, the finest resort on the Ligurian coast

Sanremo is the most fashionable resort on the western Ligurian coast. Here, year-round, you can admire tropical gardens, elegant parks, slender rows of palm trees along the promenade, a luxurious casino, and fashionable boutiques.

Liguria is also known as the “Riviera of Flowers” due to its well-developed industrial floriculture industry, and thanks to its numerous greenhouses, Sanremo has earned the nickname “City of Flowers.” During their stay, tourists are constantly surrounded by the magical scents of mimosa, roses, anemones, genista, and matthiola.

What to see and where to visit
One of the main attractions of Sanremo is the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, built in 1913 according to the designs of the renowned architect A.V. Shchusev. The cathedral is decorated with beautiful stone carvings and unique tiles.

Next to the temple is the legendary casino, opened in 1905, where gamblers leave fortunes. Other major attractions of the resort include A. Nobel’s villa, where he spent the last year of his life.

The Civic Museum displays a collection of Roman archaeological finds and also hosts art exhibitions.
