Holiday in Rimini

About Rimini

Rimini is the undisputed capital of the Italian Adriatic coast and has been one of the most popular travel destinations for German tourists for decades. The city on the Romagna coast combines 15 kilometers of fine sandy beach with a surprisingly rich cultural history that dates back to Roman times. The Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge testify to the significance of the ancient colony of Ariminum, while the Renaissance splendor of the Tempio Malatestiano, designed by Leon Battista Alberti, is among the architectural jewels of Emilia-Romagna. But Rimini is above all one thing: a celebration of life by the sea. The kilometers of beaches are divided into numbered Bagni, each with its own umbrellas, sunbeds, and beach bar. The system may be unusual for first-time visitors, but it offers an unmatched comfort: showers, changing rooms, playgrounds, lifeguards, and fresh Piadina right by the water. In the evening, the promenade transforms into an endless promenade with gelaterias, restaurants, and live music. Federico Fellini, the legendary film director, was born in Rimini and paid an unforgettable tribute to his hometown in films like Amarcord. The FELLINI Museum, dedicated to him in the restored Castel Sismondo, is a must for culture enthusiasts. The old town around Piazza Cavour and the fish market surprises with elegant palaces, lively bars, and a culinary scene that goes far beyond beach pizza. For German tourists, getting there is quite simple: by car via the Brenner Pass and the A14, Rimini can be reached in about seven hours from Munich. Alternatively, low-cost airlines fly directly to Federico Fellini Airport. One should plan for toll fees on Italian highways – approximately €30-40 from the Austrian border to Rimini. The city is also a perfect starting point for day trips to San Marino, Ravenna, or the hills of Romagna.
