Sanremo - the pearl of Liguria

3 hours
The city of Sanremo, which was founded in Roman times in a large inlet on the western Ligurian coast, is known as “The Pearl of the Riviera of the flowers” and is famous throughout the world for its perfect climatic conditions for swimming. Another factor which has favoured the blossoming of Sanremo has been the development of international tourism which, from its roots in the 19th century, has seen the city and surrounding areas transformed. In fact famous people such as the Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna and the scientist Alfred Nobel actually chose to live here. One of the most scenic walks is found along the Corso dell'Imperatrice. This palm-lined promenade was a gift from the Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna in 1874, who gave the city a pretty penny to beautify the walkway along the sea after a lengthy stay. It was a generous gift, one that she'd never actually see, since the sickly empress died before she could return. In addition to the perfume of nature and the beauty of the city there is also a touch of glitz offered all year round in the gaming rooms of the celebrated Casinò and also by the annual event of international repute, the festival of Italian song.
