About
Teatro Ariston is a theatre in Sanremo, on the Ligurian coast of Italy, at Via Matteotti 212. It is also known as Teatro dell'Ariston. The building was completed in 1963, and it has become closely associated with the Sanremo Music Festival, the country's most important music competition, which is held here each year.
What to expect
For most visitors the theatre is a place to see from the outside or to attend an event, rather than a museum to walk through. Its reputation rests on the festival, so a visit is most rewarding if your trip coincides with the competition, when the streets around it fill with music fans and the broadcast atmosphere is at its height.

Around the theatre
Sanremo is a seaside town in the province of Imperia, and the theatre makes a natural starting point for exploring it. Stroll the town's streets and seafront, and take in the coastal views that have long drawn visitors to the Riviera. Because the theatre sits in the town centre, it is easy to combine with a walk, a coffee, or a meal before or after your visit.
