Dancing among music waves with the sea in the background in Genoa’s long and glowing nights!

Long established Discos renewing themselves over time… to the beat of all the world’s music. Genoa, an increasingly multiethnic city, is enlivened with salsa, merengue and everything else coming from Latin America, ironically the continent discovered by Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus!

But Genoa also dances to the African beat, following echoes from the Orient, exploring the melting-pot of Mediterranean music, without abandoning the local rhythms of evergreen and revival music. For today’s and yesterday’s young people. For all tastes, For all budgets.

Where do people dance?
In  discos located in various parts of the city; on the” rotonde”(round terraces)  overlooking the sea arranged by the managers of the private beaches; people dance  open-air, during food festivals ,  in trendy places, perhaps enjoying appetizing specialties, between music and “off” theatre; people dance at Palazzo Ducale during the “Notte Rosa” (Pink night) on Women’s Day and in Piazza Matteotti around the Big Bonfire on the Night of Saint John’s Eve.

Also the promenade of Corso Italia – which is about two kilometres from the centre and running along the rocky cliffs overhanging the sea – is lined with night clubs (with live music), private beaches, small bars, but above all it is a meeting place.

In various areas of the city, from the east to the west, from the Old Port to the valleys of the hinterland, there are many friendly places with entertainment opportunities. The list of bars, cafés, restaurants and other nightlife places is available at Turismoinliguria in the “Staying” section under “Food”.

Sanremo Casino

After a refreshing dip in the pool, end the day by trying your luck at the Sanremo Casino, and find out why European gambling is so very different from Las Vegas or Atlantic City.

The Casino of Sanremo, opened on 14th January 1905, was elegantly planned by the French architect Eugenio Ferret.

The building, rich in Art Nouveau and Baroque style decorations, is the most significant monument of the Belle Époque in Sanremo.

Over the years, its charm is not changed. The elegance of its interiors and furnishings offers to the guests a unique place in which to spend extraordinary moments.

The leading principle of the Casino of Sanremo administration can be summed up in 3 words: “Not only Gambling“, that means the difference between a casino and a gambling den is given by the presence of culture.

The Riviera of the Flowers is the ideal place to host events in every season of the year. Every month of the year is blessed by decent weather thanks to the temperate climate of the region which ranges from long sun filled days with the sea lapping the coastline to the foreshortening of even the longest winter.

There are approximately 20 noteworthy events staged each year in the region ranging from theatre shows, cultural events, sports and also international occasions. All of these are obviously different in nature, but all are sure to entertain those who come to them.

These events, which are mostly staged outdoors, will enrich the holiday of everyone while the pleasant year round climate, the beauty of the hinterland and the loveliness of the sea, complete the picture. Sanremo, Imperia, Ventimiglia, Taggia……the villages of the area which are rich in culture and the natural life all of this and much more besides is certain to capture the eye and hold the attention of any visitor.genoa italian riviera

Each event is unique and unmissable whether it be a theatre production, a sporting contest, a historical representation or a procession of flower carts. The uniqueness of the Riviera is best seen in these manifestations where the true nature and the strongest points of the area are often brought to life.

The sea and the wind in sporting contests, the old towns with their squares, the churches and palaces, the soft light which helps to create a spellbinding atmosphere as a backdrop to the theatre productions staged on hot summer evenings. Last, but by no means least, we have the processions of the flower carts which carry in triumph the typical products of this corner of Liguria, and also give their name to the region, “Riviera dei Fiori”.San Remo in Fiore
