Public bus services in Sanremo are operated by Riviera Trasporti and reliably cover both the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. The bus routes connect the train station, the city centre, the seafront promenade, residential areas above the city, and neighbouring towns along the coast. Particularly convenient are the routes along the coastal road (Via Aurelia), which allow many destinations to be reached easily without a car.

Information on timetables, routes, and tickets is available online on the Riviera Trasporti website as well as at major bus stops. Tickets can usually be purchased in advance at tobacco shops (Tabacchi), at sales points, directly on the bus, or in some cases via an app. For trips within the city, buses are an easy and affordable way to get around—especially during high season, when parking spaces are limited.

Sanremo train station (Stazione di Sanremo) is centrally located and well connected to the Italian rail network. From here, trains run regularly along the Ligurian coast, both westbound and eastbound. Popular excursion destinations include Ventimiglia (a border town to France with an old town and market), Imperia, or—with a slightly longer journey—Nice on the French Côte d’Azur.

The station is ideal for car-free day trips, whether for city sightseeing, beach days, or culinary discoveries along the Riviera. Up-to-date timetables and connections can be found on the official Italian railways websites or via common travel and rail apps. Overall, travelling by train in Sanremo is a relaxed and reliable alternative to using a car—especially for coastal excursions.
