The charm of this town lies in the fact that tourists can perfectly combine a resort vacation with educational excursions.
Of course, it is better to explore this city with a guide who will vividly describe the sights of Rimini in Ukrainian, but you can get by with our selection of the most interesting tourist locations.
There are several interesting buildings here, built in the XIII-XVI centuries: the Garampi Palace, the Palazzo dell’Arengo (preserved frescoes of the XIV century), the Palazzo del Podesta (this palace is very similar to a medieval castle) and the theater building (its facade is especially beautiful in the light of evening illumination).
The square is also decorated with a marble fountain Pigna (Cone) and a monument to Pope Paul V. The square itself is not very large, but it looks very picturesque, and there is a fish market nearby where you can buy fresh seafood.
The best hotels in Rimini are usually not huge multi-storey complexes, but small family-run hotels. Although, of course, there are several luxury, four- and five-star hotels on the coast that offer a full range of services for an unforgettable vacation.
Most tourists are attracted to beach vacations in Rimini. The resort’s coastline is almost 20 km of well-groomed, clean and well-equipped beaches with golden sand, gentle entry into the water and all kinds of beach activities. The only nuance that spoils the picture a bit is the need to pay for visiting them. You can just come and swim in the sea for free, but you’ll have to pay to stay on the beach. Interestingly, the beaches are numbered from 1 to 150, and at the entrance you can pay for a deck chair and umbrella, as well as get the keys to the changing room.
Of course, the beaches of Rimini are not the only thing worth visiting this city for. The historic center impresses with a large number of preserved architectural monuments, among which the Arc de Triomphe, the arch bridge, the ruins of the Roman amphitheater, numerous medieval palaces, especially the Palazzo del Podesta, the Church of St. Augustine and many others deserve special attention. It is definitely worth paying attention to the Italy in Miniature museum, where you can see 270 models of Italian monuments.
Tours to Rimini will also appeal to gourmets – the Emilia-Romagna region is known as one of the gastronomic centers of Italy. It is the birthplace of Parma ham, Bologna mortadella sausage, Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar. The resort’s numerous restaurants and taverns also offer the freshest seafood.
If you are planning a family vacation with children, a trip to Rimini is also a great idea. Even if the kids get bored on the beach, they will have a lot of fun at the Fiabilandia amusement park with several dozen attractions, a fun time at the nearby Beach Village water park or the huge Aquafan water park. Moreover, the largest amusement park in Italy, Mirabilandia, is located 40 km from Rimini.
