Sanremo, Italy

Submitted by john.baumstark on

Italy’s ‘City of Flowers’ simply overflows with Riviera-style grandeur. Ostentatious villas and grand hotels line the sun-kissed streets that have been attracting Europe’s aristocratic elite for over a century. The city has managed to retain all of it’s early 20th century glamor – an age when it was the playground of choice for people like Russia’s Empress Maria Alexandrovna. Soak up a sense of the city’s sumptuous past in the old squares of the La Pigna neighborhood or head out of town to explore the artist colony at Bussana Vecchia. Abandoned after the earthquake of 1887, it was rebuilt by a community of artists in the early-1960s. In the evening, dine on Ligurian specialties at a family-run trattoria, or take your seat at a gaming table in the fabulous Art Nouveau casino.
