Taxi Nice — San Remo

San Remo, the 'Città dei Fiori' (City of Flowers), is the pearl of the Italian Riviera, just 60 km from Nice across the border. This elegant Ligurian seaside resort is world-famous for its Italian song festival, its Art Nouveau municipal casino — one of Europe's oldest — and its flower market supplying all of Europe with roses, carnations and mimosas. The old town, called La Pigna, is a medieval labyrinth of narrow lanes, arches and staircases climbing to the Madonna della Costa church overlooking the bay. The Corso Matteotti and Corso Imperatrice, lined with majestic palms, recall the golden age of 19th-century aristocratic winter tourism, when Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna and writer Alfred Nobel stayed here. San Remo's port hosts luxury yachts and its waterfront offers an enchanting Mediterranean promenade. The Ponente Ligure cycle path, built on the former coastal railway line, is one of Europe's finest. The journey from Nice follows the Mediterranean coast, passing through Monaco, Menton and Ventimiglia before reaching this town where dolce vita and Ligurian tradition blend with grace.
