サンレモのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Church of Santo Stefano lies hidden in the narrow streets of Sanremo's old town and is one of the city's quieter historical churches. With its simple exterior, it blends unobtrusively into the medieval quarter, while inside, a peaceful, warm atmosphere prevails. For centuries, the church served as a place of prayer for the residents of the old town. Those who enter discover a contemplative contrast to the lively coastal life.

The Sanremo Casino is located right at the beginning of the main shopping street. It is one of the city's most famous landmarks and a symbol of its glamorous past: opened in 1905, the Art Nouveau building impresses with its elegant facades and opulent halls.

The Giardini Regina Elena are among Sanremo's most beautiful viewpoints. Situated high above the city, the terraces offer sweeping views of the old town of La Pigna, the harbor, and the deep blue Ligurian Sea. Palm trees, flowers, and shady benches make the garden an ideal spot for a peaceful break. Directly above rises the "Santuario Diocesano Nostra Signora Assunta - Madonna della Costa," an important pilgrimage site with a richly decorated interior. From here, one of the city's most impressive panoramas unfolds – particularly atmospheric at sunset.

The old port of Sanremo blends Mediterranean flair with maritime history. Among fishing boats and elegant yachts, the authentic character of the Ligurian coast is still palpable. The promenade invites leisurely strolls, while cafés and workshops offer glimpses into everyday life by the sea. A striking landmark is the white, tower-like building bearing the inscription ANMI near the yacht club. Resembling a small beacon, it serves as a meeting place for the Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia (National Sailors Association of Italy) and a memorial to Italy's seafaring tradition. Thus, the port of Sanremo unites past and present in a particularly charming way.

The old town of Pigna is the historical heart of Sanremo and resembles a labyrinth of stone. Narrow streets, steep staircases, and arched passageways spiral up the hill. Hidden among old houses are small squares, chapels, and surprising views of the sea. Laundry lines strung across the paths and the aromas wafting from kitchens lend the neighborhood a vibrant, everyday atmosphere.

Behind the sanctuary begins the San Romolo mule track, one of the routes for mountain biking up to the village of the same name.

Once you reach this church on Corso Cavallotti, you're already in the San Martino district. The church stands directly on the Rio San Martino, although you'd have to look hard to spot a river here. The natural basin was set in concrete and brings together the mountain waters of the two rivers, the Rio Morga and the Rio Spassante, between Rodi and Verezzo. From then on, it is called the Rio San Martino, which then flows into the sea before reaching the new marina. The Parodi couple had the Chiesa di Nostra Signora della Mercede built at their own expense in 1900. This was done in gratitude to the Virgin Mary, who had protected their family from slavery and imprisonment. Originally, this building had only one nave, but it was later extended with an additional nave. The consecration of the church was undertaken by the Bishop of Ventimiglia, “Vescovo Ambrogio Daffra,” in 1902. In the 1920s, the church was made available to the “frati minori francescani” for services, and in 1935 it was donated to the Franciscans by the Parodi family.

Very beautiful city with many sights
