Rent a bike in Sanremo: rates, routes and tips
Sanremo is a natural choice for cycling: the town is the heart of the Pista Ciclabile del Ponente Ligure, the “Via Area 24”, one of Italy's finest coastal cycle paths, built on a former railway line along the sea.
Why rent a bike in Sanremo?
- The coastal cycle path (Area 24): a flat, safe route of some twenty kilometres, from Ospedaletti to San Lorenzo al Mare, passing through Sanremo, Arma di Taggia and Riva Ligure.
- The seafront and the old town (the Pigna): the Passeggiata dell'Imperatrice and the medieval maze.
- The sea always in view: tunnels, beaches and coves punctuate the route.
Which bike to choose in Sanremo?
The path is flat: a city bike is plenty. To ride it both ways or push further, an electric bike is ideal, especially with the family.
Bike rental rates in Sanremo
Rates vary by type of bike (city, electric) and duration. Compare them live on each shop's page, and book the day before in high season.
