Sanremo sits in the shadow of the Alps on Italy’s Riviera of Flowers. It’s been a popular holiday spot for centuries, pulling in everyone from Monet to Frank Sinatra. Even now, you’ll spot million-pound yachts in the harbour and high society types in the casino. Away from the glitz and glam, there’s also a charming historic quarter to explore.
• Try your luck at Monte Carlo Casino. Even if you don’t fancy gambling, the liberty-style building is well worth a look – it’s more than 150 years old.
• The postcard-perfect harbour is an ideal lunch spot, with cafés and fish restaurants lining the water’s edge.
• Scale the streets of the old quarter, which wind their way up a hill. At the top, you’ll find the Queen Elena gardens and the 17th-century Madonna della Costa Sanctuary.
TUI River Cruises tick off everything from big-name cities like Budapest and Vienna to barely-trodden bankside beauties, like Cochem and Durnstein – via iconic waterways including the Rhine and Danube. Best of all? Flights, transfers and meals with drinks are all included.
