Sanremo, also known as San Remo, is a picturesque city located on the Mediterranean coast of northwestern Italy, in the Liguria region. It is famed for its mild climate, stunning sea views, and vibrant floral blooms, which have earned it the nickname "City of Flowers." The city's architecture is a mix of old and new, with medieval streets and historical buildings juxtaposed against modern boutiques and luxury hotels. Sanremo is also known for its prestigious annual music festival, the Sanremo Music Festival, which has been a significant event in Italian culture since 1951. The city's economy is bolstered by tourism, with visitors drawn to its casinos, shopping opportunities, and the beautiful Riviera dei Fiori (Riviera of Flowers). Sanremo's marina adds to its charm, offering a haven for yachts and a starting point for sailing excursions. The city's public gardens, such as the Villa Ormond and the Villa Nobel, provide tranquil green spaces for relaxation and leisure.

The city's coastal promenade is a popular spot for strolls and bike rides, with panoramic views of the azure sea. Sanremo's cultural scene is complemented by its culinary offerings, with local restaurants serving Ligurian specialties such as focaccia, pesto, and fresh seafood.
