Rimini is renowned for its 15 kilometers of sandy beaches and thriving shopping scene. It is also home to the region’s largest exhibition complex, Rimini Fiera, which attracts local businesspeople.
Rimini Beaches
The entire coastline of Rimini offers ideal conditions for a beach holiday. The beaches are clean and well-maintained, equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay—umbrellas, sun loungers, restrooms, and changing rooms. However, it’s worth remembering that most beaches require a fee. This means you can access the sea and take a dip for free, but you likely won’t be able to stay longer with your own towel without paying for a sun lounger and umbrella. Even in the free zone, between the last row of sun loungers and the sea, there may be staff monitoring the area and may ask you to remove your personal belongings.
Entertainment and Attractions
In addition to its beautiful beaches, Rimini offers many interesting places for those who prefer an active holiday. The historic part of the city offers a unique atmosphere with preserved architectural monuments. One of these is the Arch of Emperor Augustus, which once served as the gateway to the city and is now a central architectural landmark.
Another interesting structure is the Tiberius Bridge, which has stood for two thousand years and impresses with its stability. In the Alcide Cervi Park, just a few hundred meters from the Arch of Augustus, you can see fragments of the ancient Roman city walls.
Piazza Cavour is surrounded by buildings from various eras, such as the palaces of the municipalities, the Aldermen, and the medieval assembly. A short walk from the square is the Sismondo Castle, linked to the history of Rimini and the ruler Pandolfo Malatesta. Also located next to the square is the cathedral, dedicated to this ruling family, whose interior is decorated with frescoes. Piazza Cavour still features historic buildings, such as the 18th-century fish market and the marble Pigna fountain. Nearby is a 17th- and 18th-century library, and the “House of the Surgeon” in Piazza Ferrari is a unique museum displaying artifacts and archaeological finds.
