The city of Sanremo has the good fortune to be located at the heart of an important road network which connects some of the biggest cities in Europe.
The Autostrada europa E80, parts of which are the A10 Genova – Ventimiglia and the A8 Menton –Aix-en-Provence, connects the city both with nearby France and with the Italian motorway network.
The city is easily reached both from the airport at Nice, only 50 kms. from San Remo, and also from the international airports of Albenga and Genoa. The international railway system which connects Italy, France and Spain also makes life easy for visitors to Sanremo.
