To imagine Rimini only as the queen city of the Romagna Riviera for beaches, discos and various entertainment is absolutely reductive. Rimini is one city ​​to live in its four seasons, for its historical monuments and its typical villages, for its exhibitions at the Civic Museum or at the Malatesta Castle, or for its cultural initiatives in general. Of course, even national-popular events like the Pink Night have their own reasons, but Rimini is much more. It is also food, thanks to its piadinerie, takeaways, restaurants, typical trattorias and is (increasingly) inland, also to clear the idea of ​​Rimini = beach.
It's possible to enjoy of all this without fainting, but spending the right amount?
Yes of course. Almost 1000 accommodation facilities guarantee any type of wallet the possibility of sleeping especially in the b & b solution, as are the activities generically dedicated to "satiating the belly".
Do we want to make a first proposal? At the Palazzo del PodestĂ in Piazza Cavour you will find the photographic exhibition "The poetics of gray tones" by Ferruccio Ferrosi and Riccardo Gabelli and open until 4 next November, edited by Marcello Sparaventi. Free admission, of course, and open to the public from Tuesday to Sunday. So those who are fond of photography will be able to observe the valuable works of these two artists from the Marche, in fact both Ferrosi and Gabelli come from the city of Senigallia. Rimini, just think, has chosen to dedicate the last September to photography! But it's up to you to decipher this type of art! And if the exhibition should stimulate a peckish, we recommend a new room opened near the municipal civic museum, The laundry - Circulation of the Brains that directly overlooks the Roman lapidary inside the museum complex. Typical local wines at km 0, piada, cold cuts and cheeses. The costs are absolutely competitive if you also think of being able to taste a typical plate of passatelli in paganello broth, poor fish of the Adriatic, in the "crock".
Rimini is perhaps lucky enough to have one of the most beautiful views of the cities of Italy and a few steps from its historic center. In fact, if you have planned a weekend in Rimini you cannot miss wandering through the alleys and alleys of the Borgo San Giuliano, directly behind the ancient Roman Tiberius bridge. Why visit it? First of all we advise you to do it maybe during the typical "party de Borg”Which takes place in the summer, once every two years. It is an occasion that always attracts thousands of tourists and from Rimini. The villagers in fact have the habit during the party of opening the doors of their homes to visitors and in many cases they also organize tables for friends and relatives in the middle of the alleys.
Houses that once belonged to poor fishermen while today, in most cases, they have been transformed into respectable homes. Another peculiarity are the frescoes by artists and painters who adorn the walls of the most typical corners of the village, also recalling images of "Fellini's" memory. In fact, let's not forget that we are in Rimini, the city where the master was born Federico Fellini. Instead, if your idea is to visit the village perhaps in winter, in the middle of a mist that smells of the sea, it is a must to stop in some tavern and restaurant. In fact, there is no shortage of places that will offer you seafood dishes. It is always the right time to eat a tagliolini allo scoglio and you can do it for example at Trattoria la Marianna without being plucked.
