Every autumn, Sanremo hosts the iconic Festival Tenco, a multi-day event dedicated to the finest Italian and international songwriting. In 2025, the festival returns from 23 to 25 October at the grand Teatro Ariston, along with live events at Teatro del Casinò, Cinema Ritz, and Ex-Chiesa di Santa Brigida. Expect powerful performances, poetic lyrics, and unforgettable tributes as legendary artists and new voices take the stage.
The festival celebrates the art of canzone d’autore (author’s song), combining music with storytelling. Alongside concerts, visitors can enjoy award ceremonies, intimate showcases, discussions, and cultural events all across the city—making it a must-visit for music lovers.
Nestled along the sparkling Ligurian coast, Sanremo is a charming seaside town known for its elegant architecture, palm-lined promenades, and year-round mild climate. Often called the "City of Flowers" for its lush gardens and vibrant blooms, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through the narrow alleys of La Pigna, the medieval old town, explore the bustling Porto Vecchio, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the seafront. With its blend of Italian Riviera beauty, delicious Ligurian cuisine, and easy access to nearby gems like Imperia, Bordighera, and Monte Carlo, Sanremo is a captivating destination for every kind of traveller.
