The city is known throughout Italy for its music festival, a true manifesto of Italian song that is over 70 years old. If you plan to stay in Sanremo during this popular event (in February each year), remember to book your accommodation in advance! The first hotel, established in 1860 and still in operation, is called Le Londres, a reminder of the presence of the English on the coast, the first tourists to choose Sanremo as a vacation spot. Then came the Russian aristocracy, Maria Alexandrovna, the empress, and Frederick William, the crown prince of Germany, bringing with them all the crowned heads of Europe. At the end of the 19th century, palace-hotels, residences and villas were built, as well as parks and gardens, a sea promenade and a casino (1905). The creation of sports and leisure facilities consolidated Sanremo's reputation as a privileged seaside destination. Then the exploitation of greenhouses changed the landscape around the city and made Sanremo the most important flower market in Italy. Even today, the city is the main supplier of floral arrangements for the New Year's Day concert at the Musikvereinsaal in Vienna.
