10 Things to do Good for Couples 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.

Devastated by an earthquake and abandoned, this unique medieval village has been reborn and is now inhabited by an international artists community.
Reviewed By turtlezurich
It is a whole little authentic medieval village abandoned in 1894 after an earthquake and repopulated by artists in the '60. Ever since it is a secret tourist attraction. It is and exclusively walking area with stone streets and houses. You need good shoes. This romantic landscape consists in half ruins and half artists workshops, boutiques and residences. It has a big restaurant at the entrance and another smaller one in the middle as well as a coffee/bakery shop. It has a romantic atmosphere. You can spend between 1 and 4 hours there, depending how interested you are.

Great cycle path, which runs right next to the sea from Ospedaletti to San Lorenzo al Mare. Great for families and there are lots of places along the line renting bicycles and 4-seater pedal cars. Being an old railway line, it's almost completely flat and passes through tunnels along the route. It gets very busy in the summer, and the occasional 'peloton' pass along very quickly considering the amount of young kids so keep an eye out. Great restaurants in San Lorenzo, and brilliant ice creams at the gelateria in Arma di Taggia which is along the road, though the ice cream is a couple of minutes detour towards the seafront

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.

No visit to Sanremo is complete without a stroll through the labyrinth of the old town with its narrow, cobblestoned, often vaulted alleyways - naturally for pedestrians only. The houses are arranged around a quite steep hill like the scales of a 'Pigna', a pine cone - hence its name. With almost no shops and only a few restaurants it is a rather quiet area and one doesn't meet many people. There are often supporting arches above the lanes and some small attractive squares like the Piazza del Capitolo, where in the old days the heads of families used to meet, or the 'Piazza dei Dolori', referring to the brotherhood of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, who took care of the nearby Oratorio di San Sebastiano. On this square is also the Palazzo Gentile-Spinola. There are several entrance gates to La Pigna like the Porta Montà, but most people will start at the southern row of gothic gates, the Porte di San Stefano, then going up the winding Rivolte San Sebastiano, ending on the open top of the hill with viewing platforms, with the Santuario Madonna della Costa and the Giardini Regina Elena, in honour of the wife of king Vittorio Emmanuele III and daughter of the king of Montenegro.

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 !
