General presentation
Sanremo et Riviera dei Fiori
Western Riviera of gardens, old town, bike paths, perches villages and sweet sea close to the French border.
The discovery of Sanremo and Riviera dei Fiori revolves around Sanremo, La Pigna and Bordighera. The stay thus alternates between the coast, urban life and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: urbanized coast and often narrow beaches. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Sanremo
Sanremo It is immediately lit through its lively streets and its relationship to the sea, between urban passages and breathing areas. The centre offers an alternation of atmospheres that works well for a day-long exploration. Travelers gain from observing the transitions between old neighborhood and seafront.
Place
La Pigna
La Pigna It is distinguished by a more intimate atmosphere, where sloping streets and quieter spaces make up a strong identity. The visit becomes interesting as soon as you leave the walk away and follow the game of secondary passages. You better capture the details of local life.
Place
Bordighera
Bordighera highlights a direct relationship between vegetation, architecture and the seafront. Streets and squares gradually open up to wider points of view, making the discovery modulable according to your energy. A useful place for a traveller who loves atmospheres without emphasis.
Place
Dolceacqua
Dolceacqua offers a more laid scale, where alleys, squares and proximity to the coast give an immediate readability of the village. The visit is built from the details and the local topography, more than a race between monuments. It feels the ligure coast in a less expected version.
