The City

Rimini belongs to the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and is the capital city of the Province of Rimini. It is located between the rivers Marecchia and Ausa and is a city of contrasts. In the center, for instance, ancient narrow streets and cosmopolitan squares, such as Piazza Cavour, Piazza Tre Martiri and Corso d’Augusto stand in contrast to the tourist zones and beach areas where lively bars and restaurants attract families and couples alike.
Rimini is divided into districts, each with its own unique character: Bellariva, Marebello, Marina Centro, Miramare, Rivabella, Rivazzurra, San Giuliano Mare, Torre Pedrera and Viserba. The ‘must+see’ attractions include the beautiful Tiberius Bridge, which dates from the 1st Century AD, the Pigna Fountain and the Great Arch of Augustus.
