Often referred to as the Italian Saint-Tropez, San Remo still has a few thriving luxury hotels. The old centre is just north of Corso Matteotti, the main strip, which many stroll along in the early evening. The town has much to offer, including the Russian Orthodox Church, the summer flower market, and from the top of Monte Bignone you can see as far as Cannes.
San Remo is the host of several major sailing events, including the International San Remo Regatta at the end of April.
