Why fly to Rimini?
When it comes to city breaks in Rimini, history and hedonism go hand in hand – follow a Roman emperor’s footsteps in the morning and hit the dancefloor by night.
Exploring the sights of Rimini
So, you want to be a beach bum – that doesn’t mean you don’t want a bit of culture in your weekend break. Rimini’s beaches stretch for miles, complete with rows of sun loungers, lively beach bars and water as inviting as an Aperol spritz. Just beyond the city, San Marino perches on Mount Titano, proudly flaunting its UNESCO status as the world’s oldest republic. Its medieval towers, winding streets and knockout views make it feel like a Renaissance painting brought to life – and it’s just a quick hop from Rimini.
Scenery, food and culture of Rimini
In the heart of Rimini, ancient Roman ruins sit side by side with bustling piazzas (yes, with plenty of places to stuff yourself silly with pasta and pizza). Get a glimpse into Rimini’s impressive past by visiting the Arch of Augustus, a 2,000-year-old masterpiece, and the Tiberius Bridge, still standing strong after two millennia. The historic centre is also home to the Tempio Malatestiano, a Renaissance cathedral so beautiful you’ll forget it’s technically unfinished.
Nightlife in Rimini
As the sun sets, the city transforms into a buzzing hub of nightlife. Marina Centro offers al fresco dining and gelato (or two) so creamy it deserves applause, while Rimini’s legendary beach clubs keep the party going until sunrise. And don’t leave without trying piadina, the local flatbread stuffed with all sorts of goodness – simple, satisfying and ridiculously delicious. La dolce vita, indeed.
