Rimini, the classic Italian holiday
At the southern end of Romagna, squeezed between the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine mountains, Rimini has been a favourite holiday destination for Italians for more than 160 years.
This region is known for its warm hospitality and boasts more than 15 km of beaches, 230 colourful beach clubs, and more than 1,000 hotels along with an array of amusement parks.
This is a city which is loved not just for a fun time in the summer, it is also bursting with history, art, and culture. It was the capital of the ruling House of Malatesta and the setting for a number of films by the great Federico Felini, who has a museum dedicated in his honour in the city of his birth, as well as a wealth of treasures from the Roman and Renaissance eras including the Arch of Augustus, the Bridge of Tiberius, Castel Sismondo, the Malatesta Temple, Piazza Tre Martiri, the Museo della Città, the ‘Surgeon’s House’ archaeological site, Amintore Galli theatre, and the modern art gallery Palazzi dell’Arte di Rimini.
If you want to add some wellness to your holiday, you can visit the Rimini Terme spa, whilst if you prefer to relax by going for a walk then do not miss Rimini Marina, one of the most beautiful and modern marinas in the Mediterranean, which features a raised walkway above the sea.
