Amazing architecture. A little taste of Russia and russian orthodox religion. It is a unique sight and a hidden treasure within the strongly catholic Italy. Worth to visit!
Very nice, coloured Russian orthodox church in San Remo. But it's relativel small and beeds a bit of renovation (of paintings).
The church is small but beautiful. However, I was disappointed by the entrance policy. Outside, there's a sign about paying a voluntary donation to enter, but when you actually go you're forced to pay. I think it's misleading and takes away from the welcoming spirit one would expect from a place of worship.
Very bright church. It is worth to visit. You can put a candle in memory of your beloved ones or just for a good reason ✨️. The Church was done with bright and light atmosphere. It's small, but cozy
Beautiful small Slavic Orthodox church with quite a lot of important icons. Very quiet, a nice small shop and it is very tidy. Please keep this place clean - spiritually and physically!
It was amazing visit I really like it and the decorations as well. It's one of the important landmarks in Sanremo. There are lots of international tourists and the location of this church is close to many cafes and restaurants where you could walk and enjoy.
Discovering this church during our day trip from Nice to Sanremo was a delightful surprise. We were accompanied by our mother, who grew up in Russia and wasn't aware of the historical significance of this place. Unfortunately, we couldn't explore inside due to a mass. Fortunately, right across the street, we found an excellent Russian food shop. The lady inside was incredibly knowledgeable and shared valuable insights about the church's history.
Very nice and modest inside.

(Translated by Google) You find her in front of you as you turn the corner and immediately the memory of her voice rings in your ears as she wishes you "Cheer up!" with hand raised in greeting. Mike Buongiorno used to end his broadcasts by always reminding us of his happiness and good mood. Obviously the selfie is a must 😊 (Original) Te la ritrovi davanti girando l’angolo e subito nelle orecchie ti risuona il ricordo della sua voce mentre ti augura “Allegria!” con la mano alzata in gesto di saluto. Mike Buongiorno usava chiudere le sue trasmissioni ricordandoci sempre la contentezza e il buon umore. Ovviamente il selfie è d’obbligo 😊
(Translated by Google) The life-size statue of the great presenter is beautiful. In my opinion its location should have been the atrium of the Ariston theatre. Out of respect for all the visibility that this character brought to Sanremo. (Original) Bella la statua ,a grandezza naturale, del grande presentatore. Secondo me la sua collocazione doveva essere l'atrio del teatro Ariston . Per rispetto a tutta la visibilità che questo personaggio ha portato a Sanremo.
(Translated by Google) It's a shame they placed him far from the Ariston. If they'd truly wanted to showcase the character he was, there would have been plenty of space in front of the Ariston. Goodbye, Mr. Joy. (Original) Un peccato che lo abbiano messo distante dall'ariston, se avessero voluto valorizzare veramente il personaggio che era, di fronte all'Ariston c'era tanto di quello spazio. Ciao mister allegria.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, beautiful memory, just a stone's throw away from the Ariston theatre. If you're passing by, it's worth taking a nice souvenir photo 😊 (Original) Bellissima è bellissimo ricordo proprio a due passi dritto per dritto al teatro Ariston se passate da queste parti vale la pena scattare una bella foto ricordo 😊

Great place to spend first half of a day. Opening hours 9:30-12:30. Exploring the villa takes around 1 hour. €7 per adult, €5 per kid. The villa and surrounding garden is lovely. Our kid, and us, adults, loved it.
Elegant and peaceful, Villa Nobel is a beautifully preserved 19th-century residence with stunning gardens and sea views. It was the final home of Alfred Nobel, and today it hosts a small museum about his life and legacy. A quiet and inspiring spot for history lovers, just a short walk from central Sanremo.
We visited Villa Nobel on a Thursday, one of the few days it's open, and walked there from Sanremo’s city center in about 15 minutes. It's a quiet, historically significant place that will mostly appeal to those already interested in Alfred Nobel. The exhibitions are primarily in Italian, but there’s a multilingual audio tour you can follow on your phone. We already knew quite a bit about Nobel, so we were able to piece things together fairly well even without translations. The villa is beautiful but could use some maintenance. Some areas were closed off, including the top floor, and one floor appeared to be used as offices. Seeing Nobel’s bed where he died felt slightly odd, but it was respectfully presented. Worth visiting if you're genuinely interested in Nobel and his legacy. We noticed quite a few other Swedish visitors, which wasn’t too surprising.
Our wedding at this venue was truly magical. Venetia, the event manager, was such a great help and made everything run so smoothly. The catering by Prime Quality was great, with delicious food and great service. It honestly felt like a dream come true.
Charming villa, 2 floors and lovely terrace, overlooking the Sea. I would highly recommend to visit 😊 . The reception lady is very friendly. Cozy furniture of the house and Interesting exhibition of achievements of Alfred Nobel at the basement floor.
Historical place worth visit. Nice explanation with Audio guide free.
Beautiful Villa with interesting history. It doesn’t take long have a look around the Villa but it is worth it.
After 2 days we finally reached it. Looks great, not sure if its worth the way

It was very clean and nice. They have catamaran/pedal boat. There is a small restaurant for snacks and drinks. Great beach chairs.
Tre ponti is usually a very nice free beach with open water with both sandy and rocky beaches. This year the area is under construction and not easily accessible. Hopefully by late June and onwards they will have completed the work.
Nice and large beach. Bonus,its a public one,eith fair prices. Two sunbeds and one umbrella are between 10-15€ for half a day. There are showers,changing cabins and toilets,quite clean. Consider going there early in the day during weekends as its usually over crowded. Also there are some bars serving few paninis and salads,not many food options so come prepared with food for the day
Good beach , very young and energetic crowd . Few amenities available such as parking and bar . Safe for kids and families.
It is a beautiful beach. I recommend to go during the week because on Sunday it was very crowded. It needed more facilities like showers but the beach was very clean and beautiful.
Super easy beach where most teenagers or families go. You can rent a sunbed and an umbrella or use the free beach.
Small beach with volleyball area. Good for surfing, bathroom and bar.
good and friendly service good food (especially pommes) nice waterquality

Slide 1 of 8
What a beautiful surprise!! This small church had amazing sculptures and paintings. If you are already at the top of the hill, it is certainly worth visiting.
At the top of the Pigna, this fantastic sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin is particularly important to the inhabitants of San Remo who could spot it when they were at sea. Erected to celebrate the liberation from Doria rule in 1361, the building today presents a structure that was remodeled in the Baroque period. Inside, it's the opportunity to admire a painting of the Virgin and Child by Nicolo da Voltri (15th century), considered miraculous.
Lovely place. Inside was quiet and you could stay with your own thoughts if you want to. Sanctuary is quite high and from the squere opens up nice view to the sea and port.
Located on hilltop (a steep walk up), the church has beautiful views, plaza, and an intricate, interior ornate interior.
A wonderful church on top of the city. I highly recommend to walk upto there and then relax some time on top. The church is one of the most beautiful. It's not very big but it's special. The interiors are very well maintained. The architecture and decor is unique. The views on your way up are awesome.
Breathtaking, gorgeous building, amazing interior details, so beautiful and peaceful place..
Interesting climb to the Sanctuario, beautiful inside, amazing paintings and statues, lots of frescoes Great view over the town and harbour

(Translated by Google) Every place I visit, weather permitting, I go to visit the cemetery, preferably a monumental one. The one in Sanremo does not host "famous deaths" or at least I haven't discovered it, but it is a pleasure to visit, silent as only cemeteries can be. Like the city that hosts it, it has some dilapidated parts and others that are very beautiful, sumptuous and well-kept. The presence of cats is pleasant.. (Original) Ogni posto che visito, tempo permettendo, vado a visitare il cimitero, meglio se monumentale. Quello di Sanremo non ospita "morti celebri" o almeno non L'HO scoperto, ma è un piacere da visitare, silenzioso come solo i cimiteri sanno essere. Come la città che lo ospita, ha alcune parti fatiscenti e altre molto belle, sfarzose e curate. Piacevole la presenza dei gatti..

Ice cream shop

Delicious Ice creams. Very cheap and big portions. Lots of flavours to choose . The best Ice creams I’ve ever had they are in San Remo
Very tasty, but cornet was very plain. It was the same cornet as on every soft ice. Sadly there was ice cream of the last person in my ice cream. But overall chocolate was very tasty
The portions are huge and the variety is good. The service is friendly and speedy, but the ice cream itself fell short of my expectations, it was rather watery . Probably that’s the reason for a low price
One of my favorite ice cream shops in Sanremo. Their pistachio and chocolate is always amazing! Service was really good with a smile.
The service was quite alright. The ice cream we bought melted almost right away, and the cup was too small. Do note that one cup portion is 2 scoops. Had to go ask for a bigger cup because the ice cream was melting over the edges. The ice cream itself tasted pretty good.
Well below average gelato, we were served flavors that were nowhere near what we ordered, and we ordered in Italian. Avoid.
The best tiramisù gelato in the world! Generous scoops, good price, nice employees. It's in a good area, in the middle of a shopping street in the city. This gelateria also has a very nice vibe to it.

Suggested place to go visit with family. Lots of expositions keep alternating throughout the year. The renovation process was colossal - for the size of the building - and finally brings to the light this hidden gem. It is not finished yet, so bear that in mind when coming visiting. Incredible piece of history of Sanremo.
This area is fun and busy. Had a fun stay in Sanremo, then we stumbled over towards this fort after dinner, as the sun was going down. This is very much a part of the local history and worth visiting, however, this is not so much a high priority destination. It's seems a little rundown for also having a museum, but overall, a nice visit to appreciate the history and views of the sea from the close beach proximity.
Fantastic food and awesome service. The staff were adorable. Isham was accommodating even though his kitchen was closing, he welcomed us in when we said we were here from Australia and it was our only chance to eat here in San Remo. We had a fabulous meal and wine for a great price. Highly recommend and will definitely be back if I make it to Italy again!!!
The object is not fully accessible for sightseeing, there is not much to see
Cool historical landmark
There's not much to watch
Nice quiet place, with lots of good Italian food nearby. Fortress visit will take you max 30 -40 min. Good opportunity for nice pictures and a bit of interesting art.
I like visiting art museums, but that was a total waste of time.
