About
The Casino di Sanremo stands on the Corso degli Inglesi, the seafront boulevard of San Remo on the Ligurian Riviera in northwestern Italy. It is a historic building, dating from 1905, and it is also known as the Casinò di Sanremo. For many visitors the appeal lies as much in the building and its setting as in the gaming tables inside.
Why it stands out
The casino is one of only four in Italy, which gives it a distinct place in the country's leisure life. Its name is closely tied to the Italian Song Festival, the annual music event that has been held in the city and is strongly associated with the casino's theatre. Even if you do not plan to play, the connection to Italian popular music makes the building a point of interest for anyone curious about the country's cultural history.
What a visit involves
- Gambling: the casino is best known for its gaming rooms, so the visit suits those who want to try their luck.
- Architecture and setting: the building is an early twentieth-century landmark on the seafront, worth seeing from the promenade.
- Music heritage: the link to the Song Festival gives the visit a cultural dimension beyond gambling.
Around the casino
