The famous San Remo Casino has a large variety of gaming tighter with a restaurant, a theatre and a nightclub. A number of concerts and the San Remo Music Festival are held in its theatre annually. The casino occupies a smart Art Nouveau building. Fares: the slot machines and the tables have no cover charge.
The Beach
There is a lovely pebbly beach situated below the Passeggiata dell'Imperatrice. The beach is sidelined with beach stations and well equipped with beach umbrellas, chairs, and lounges. It is also equipped with showers and there are a number of snack bars around. Have in mind that you can cannot use the beach if you don't pay at least for a beach-chair. That is how most European beach resorts operate, except for the public sections, which however are not a very pleasant place.
Bussana Vecchia
The lovely Bussana Vecchia is a hill-town, situated up the hills of San Remo. Deserted after an earthquake in 1877, which destroyed most of the houses, it was for over a century only a ghost town surrounded by beautiful flowers, grown mainly for export. Ruins of a church, a bell tower, and houses remained when the town was deserted. However, since the 1960 a colony of artists and artisans has moved continuously here and enlivened the place once again. Today, you can go up, stroll around, and enjoy the goods and wares of the local artisans and painters.
Corso dell'Imperatrice
Strolling along this beautiful walkway along the water is one of the best ways to feel the charm and the character of this town. From the road, you can observe the beach and the fishing boats lined neatly in the pier. The alley is sidelined with old iron benches and elaborate wrought-iron fence. It is the perfect place for a romantic walk or just a relaxing stroll. Sit and enjoy the spectacular mountain views revealed from here.
La Pigna
La Pigna is the historic part of the city and comprises charming winding streets filled with local artisan shops and lovely old-world cafes. The area is not littered with tourist staff, however, and is therefore a pleasant place for a stroll.
