If you travel from Milan to Sanremo by train you will leave from Milano Centrale station, located in the northern part of the city. 

Transportation is provided by the Trenitalia train company and there are several possible trains to take, often in combination with each other.

  • Frecciabianca: the fastest and most expensive train.
  • Trenord or Regional Train: Trenord is in charge of passenger transportation at the regional level, particularly that covering Lombardy, and is the equivalent of the Regional Train. They are slow and inexpensive trains, taking longer to reach the final destination when compared with alternative No. 3.
  • Regional Fast Train: is a faster alternative than Trenord / Regional Train, for the same price.
  • Intercity: probably the best alternative to reach Sanremo from Milan, if you want to take a direct train. In Intercity you can select your seat for free.

Within the Trenord or Regionali or Regionali Veloci train type, you will not have WiFi service or seat selection options. This is a cheaper alternative, but if you don't want to give up comfort, we recommend the Intercity train, as it is a direct service connecting Milan and Sanremo.

Inside the Frecciabianca train you will have free Wi-Fi, choice of seats and places to store your luggage. Starting with Premium Class, there is a welcome service on board with the offer of snacks and hot and cold drinks, served at your seat.

As for seating, you can choose from the following alternatives, listed from cheapest to most expensive:

From Milan to Sanremo, the train is one of the best ways to travel. Once you reach Sanremo station, you will certainly not run out of things to do or see. We recommend visiting the Cathedral of San Siro, the oldest religious building in the city: inside you can find a black crucifix and a statue of Our Lady of the Rosary. Also very impressive is the Russian Orthodox Church. This Church was built in the early 1900s, after the Russian community in San Remo had reached a thousand believers. If you do not want to give up art, we recommend the Civic Museum, where you can admire works of art dating back to the 1600s. Then go to Villa Nobel and stroll through its courtyard: a sense of peace and tranquility will overwhelm you. If you are interested in gambling, you should know that San Remo is famous for its casino, which is located inside an imposing Art Nouveau building. Last but not least, our last but not least suggestion, head to the Ariston Theater, a venue that hosts the Italian Song Festival every year, now known simply as the Sanremo Festival.
