Statues and fountains line the pathways that weave through this park, making it the perfect place to find solitude.

  • Villa Nobel - Originally built in 1874, this three-story, grand structure was once the home of Alfred Nobel. He was a Swedish scientist and inventor who first created dynamite and gave his name to the Nobel Prize. This villa is surrounded by sweeping gardens which include many rare species of plants and trees.

  • San Remo Music Festival - The San Remo Music Festival is hosted every year in this city and is a fun and exciting music competition that is open to the public. It was first started in 1951 and was a way for singers and musicians to share their talent, while competing for victory in one of the following categories: Newcomers, Men, Women, Group and Classics.
