Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget

Having realistic expectations for your travel expenses is important. While many assume they can visit San Remo on a tight budget, the truth is that most people don't enjoy traveling that way. Think about what you prioritize on vacation. Do you prefer staying in resorts or hostels? Do you love exploring sights and attractions, or dining out? Your preferences will directly impact your budget and travel plans.

What Defines a Budget Traveler?

You might think you're a budget traveler, but unless you're willing to sacrifice many comforts, expect to spend a lot more than the average of $94 per day that backpackers typically manage.

Younger budget travelers sometimes stick to a shoestring budget, which usually means staying in hostel dorms, eating at budget restaurants or fast food, relying on public transportation or walking, and limiting activities to free attractions.

The culinary scene is a major highlight for those visiting San Remo, but budget travelers often eat street food or cook for themselves in hostels, which can mean missing out on delicious local dishes.

So, are you average?

If you're a family or couple enjoying a vacation, you'll probably want to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat at well-liked restaurants, and check out significant museums and attractions that charge entry fees. Most travelers to San Remo will be eager to explore the key attractions, museums, sights, and landmarks. Most activities aren't free. So, you should realistically expect your daily budget to be around $215 per person, per day.

In San Remo, you can find a variety of hotels and vacation rentals. If you're traveling with others, you can share the costs of your hotel with a partner, friend, or children, which can help you save money. Families will want to seek out hotels and restaurants that are kid-friendly. La Casa Di Sissi B&B is a great choice for families, and Hotel De Paris Sanremo is another great option.

Looking to Travel in Luxury?

If your ideal trip includes every luxury and top-tier service, be ready to budget around $412 per day. A stay at nicer hotels, meals at prestigious restaurants, fancy excursions, and getting around the coastal city with taxis or private drivers will cost you more.

The most historic part of San Remo is La Pigna, named the Pinecone for how the streets and buildings are packed tightly into the hillside. Dating back to medieval times, La Pigna is topped by a sanctuary called Madonna della Costa Sanctuary. A cobblestone mosaic dating from 1651 leads the way to the hilltop sanctuary, which can be seen from almost everywhere in San Remo. The sanctuary itself has become a symbol of the city, dating from the 17th century. It houses an ornate altar, organ, and beautiful paintings and statues from the 17th to 19th centuries. San Remo's Russian Orthodox Church, though more recent (1913), is another notable religious sight.

San Remo is also known as the City of Flowers, and being so has a number of stunning gardens worth visiting. The Gardens of Queen Elena are on top of the hill above La Pigna, while the gardens of Villa Zirio, Villa Ormond, Villa Nobel, and Palazzo Bellevue are on the east side of town, close to the Porto Sole. The Villa Nobel itself, once the home of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel, is also open for guided tours. Nobel, known as the inventor of dynamite, spent the last few years of his life in this villa overlooking the Mediterranean.



Beyond shopping and sightseeing and exploring San Remo's busy streets, the Casino is a major draw for people visiting the city. Located right in the center of town, it is an architectural masterpiece as well as a source of entertainment for many. San Remo Casino has become particularly well known for its hosting of the three times yearly Italian Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour.

As far as festivals and events go, the most famous is the annual San Remo Music Festival, or Italian Song Festival, hosted by the Ariston Theatre in February. There is also a European music festival in June, Rock festival in July, and Jazz in August. Shows and concerts are held throughout most of summer. From October through May, the Opera Theater at the Casino holds performances by the Symphonic Orchestra, New Year's Eve is celebrated with music and a big fireworks display by the sea at Porto Vecchio, and the Sanremo Flowers parade is held at the end of January.

Other activities include water sports, swimming, and bicycling as well as a few tennis clubs and sporting events held throughout the year.

Budgeting and Travel Tips for San Remo

  • Prices generally surge and the coastal city fills up during the peak season in summer. To enjoy some savings and a less crowded atmosphere, aim to visit during the shoulder or low seasons.
  • Slowing down your travel pace can be a great way to save money while still enjoying the beautiful sights around you. If you fill your days with too many activities, the costs can quickly add up. However, by taking your time and appreciating the moment, you'll typically find yourself spending less.

Budgeting Challenges

  • When traveling with young kids, opting for a private vehicle or taxi is likely on your agenda. It's often easier to avoid the headaches of public transportation, though it may cost you a little extra.
  • Don't count on finding many hostels in San Remo. If you're set on saving money with a dorm stay, you may want to change your approach. A budget hotel or apartment rental could be more feasible.
