Nice to San Remo day trip suggestions

Posted by (Northern VA) on

My travel partner and I are considering a day trip to San Remo from Nice. In Rick’s Italy book, I do not believe he has an entry at all on San Remo. Neither does his Provence book, as a potential “east of Nice” day trip. And Italy forum entries on San Remo date back 12+ yrs.

Does anyone have suggestions for a nice lunch venue and a short, pleasant stroll locale?
We will already have spent part of a day in Ventimiglia in connection with a day trip to Menton next week.

(Because I am smart, I also posted this on the Italy forum hoping to engage alert readers there. Ha!)

Thanks for any ideas.

Ventimiglia is most probably not worth your time if you have Sanremo planned: Sanremo is much, much nicer. And Mention deserves most of a day anyway. If you have spare time there, I'd prioritize Roquebrune over Ventimiglia.

Basically, the whole center (roughly from the Casino) all the way to Villa Ormond is worth exploring, and make sure to also explore a bit up on the hill, towards the cathedral and further up still towards the Regina Elena garden.
I haven't visited in many years so can't give lunch recs, but the town left good memories.

Balso, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a helpful reply. In fact, I think we will take both your suggestions: Menton and San Remo, full days, both.
