Cheap Flights to Rimini

Rimini overview

One of the world’s most famous seaside resorts, the charming and friendly town of Rimini is located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea. Founded by the Romans in 286 BC, it wasn’t until the mid-19th century that it first gained a reputation as a resort. It’s a perfect place for the most relaxing of holidays, boasting 9 miles (15 km) of fine, sandy beach and plenty of bars and restaurants catering for all tastes. The beach shelves gently and is family friendly, and there is a wealth of water sports and seafront attractions on offer. Furthermore, the Adriatic Coast has the highest concentration of theme parks of anywhere in Europe. However, if you don’t wish to spend all your time on the beach, then Rimini has plenty more to keep you occupied. The town’s long history has resulted in some fascinating landmarks, monuments and other places of interest to visit. Roman history is represented by the Augustus Arch and the Tiberius Bridge. A major historical attraction is the Surgeon’s House; an archaeological area documenting 2000 years of Rimini’s past, and the Rimini Museum is also well worth visiting. The Malatesta Temple is a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance. The great Italian film director Frederico Fellini was born in Rimini and the Museo Fellini chronicles everything related to his fascinating life and career. Of course, no visit to Rimini would be complete without sampling the local delicacies such as piadina flat bread and the fabulous seafood dishes such as pesce azzurro.
