Onderweg met je hond in Sanremo

Sanremo's mostly underground station is on the coastal Genoa-Ventimiglia line and puts you a short walk from the seafront and Old Town. Small dogs ride free in a carrier; larger dogs travel leashed with a muzzle carried, on a half-price regional ticket.

Riviera Trasporti has run Sanremo's public transport since 1983, with buses along the coast to Ventimiglia, Bordighera, Ospedaletti and Taggia. As on Italian buses generally, small dogs travel on a leash or in a carrier and larger dogs on a leash with a muzzle carried.

The flat seafront, the Corso Imperatrice and the Pista Ciclabile mean most of central Sanremo is easy to cover on foot with a dog, avoiding transport altogether. The main climb is up into the old town of La Pigna, where the lanes are steep and cobbled.
