The Cross-Border Route: Nice to Sanremo
Sanremo 18038 sits in the Province of Imperia ( IM) , in western Liguria, a city of about 57,000 people best known internationally for the Sanremo Music Festival, the Milan–Sanremo cycling classic, its grand Belle Époque Casino, and its status as the City of Flowers — the international flower market here supplies much of Europe’s cut flower trade.
The city spans from the modern seafront promenade — Corso dell’Imperatrice and Corso Matteotti — up to the medieval heights of La Pigna, with its labyrinthine medieval alleyways, up to the Sanctuary of Madonna della Costa at the summit. Inland, the hills are blanketed in flower greenhouses and olive groves. The neighboring towns of Arma di Taggia, Bordighera, and Ospedaletti are all part of the Sanremo flower-growing district and are within easy reach.
Traveling beyond Sanremo ? We cover every stop along the Italian Riviera — Ventimiglia for the famous Friday market, Bordighera for its Belle Époque promenade and historic upper town, Aregai Marina for yacht arrivals and port transfers, and Imperia for the Porto Maurizio old town and the olive oil capital of Liguria — all bookable from Nice Airport at a single fixed rate, door to door.
The Nice–Sanremo transfer follows the A8 motorway from France into Italy, crossing the border near Ventimiglia where the road becomes the A10 — the Autostrada dei Fiori (Highway of Flowers). The route delivers travelers along the Ligurian coastline, with the Mediterranean visible between the hills, ending in Sanremo city center.
An alternative scenic route via Monaco and the toll-free SS1 coastal road through Ventimiglia exists, but extends the journey to approximately 3.5 hours — ideal for sightseeing, not for arriving after a long flight. Our standard route uses the motorway and gets you to Sanremo in under 1 hour 5 minutes.

Sanremo Neighborhoods & Districts — Where We Drop You Off
Sanremo is more than one destination. Each district has its own character, its own access roads, and its own drop-off logistics. Our drivers know every corner.
La Pigna — The Medieval Old Town — La Pigna is the original historic core of Sanremo, dating to around 1000 AD, built in a concentric pinecone formation on the hillside above the modern city. Car-free, narrow-laned, and full of centuries-old stone architecture — our drivers know the nearest drop-off point and the walking path to your accommodation.
Ospedaletti — A quieter, slightly smaller resort town immediately west of Sanremo, with a long sandy beach, a bicycle path along the former coastal railway, and a calmer atmosphere than the city center.
Sanremo Centre / Corso Matteotti — Via Giacomo Matteotti is the city’s vibrant main shopping street, lined with boutiques, flagship stores, restaurants, and bars, adjacent to the main pedestrian area. Most hotels and B&Bs cluster here, within easy walking distance of the Casino, the seafront, and the port.
The Mall Sanremo (Outlet) — A premium outlet featuring luxury brands, accessories, and fashion — easily combined with a private transfer from Nice Airport for a shopping day trip, with driver waiting on site for the return.
Bussana Vecchia — Perched inland halfway between Sanremo and Arma di Taggia, Bussana Vecchia is a ghost village destroyed by an 1887 earthquake, later repopulated by an international community of artists and now one of the most atmospheric destinations in Liguria. Our drivers navigate the hairpin approach road — ideal for a day trip combined with a Sanremo transfer.
Santuario Madonna della Costa — Baroque hilltop sanctuary above La Pigna, reachable by car for drop-off at the base of the access road, then a short walk.
Ventimiglia — Border town and market destination, 15 km west of Sanremo toward France. Covered as a drop-off point on the same route — see our Ventimiglia page for rates.
Portosole / New Port Area — Sanremo’s Portosole won the Blue Flag Europe award for the quality of its tourist marina services. Drop-offs directly at the marina entrance for yacht guests and port-area hotels.
Bordighera — Has a pleasant promenade, an old town with 19th-century villas and gardens, and was historically favored by European aristocracy and literary figures including Claude Monet and Katherine Mansfield. 9 km east of Sanremo on the A10.
Arma di Taggia — A charming small beach resort with a dedicated cycling route along the old coastal railway, connected to Sanremo by the Riviera dei Fiori cycle path. 8 km east of Sanremo centre.
