Rimini

With a long history as a holiday destination, Rimini might be considered a hidden gem of Italy’s northern Adriatic coastline. Founded around 2,300 years ago by the Romans, the city was the home of culture and relaxation even in those days, as well as serving as a link between the north and south of the Italian peninsula. Today you may struggle to find a centurion but the city’s history has been well preserved and added to by several key figures of the Renaissance. Rimini also shows the touches of modernity with thousands of bars, restaurants and a thriving tourist industry making it a brilliant destination for a long holiday or just a relaxing weekend.
