The Property — Hotel Cuba
Hotel Cuba is a cheerful, family-run three-star on the seafront, with a bright white facade and a small pool that’s a rare bonus near the beach. The lobby feels like a 1970s Italian holiday poster come to life: tiled floors, potted plants, friendly staff who remember regulars, and the faint salt smell from the Adriatic across the road. It’s compact and slightly dated, but clean and honest. Best suited for couples or older travellers who want a simple, well-located base without fuss.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as Ariminum, a Roman colony founded in 268 BC that grew into a key Adriatic port and military hub. The Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge survive from that era, and the city became a Renaissance showpiece under the Malatesta family, who built the Tempio Malatestiano. After World War II bombardments, Rimini rebuilt itself as the king of Italian beach tourism, with endless rows of lidos, neon nightclubs and amusement parks. Today, it’s a chaotic happy mix of Roman history, postwar holiday architecture and a year-round convention industry.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
May, June and September. The sea is warm enough by late May, crowds are thinner than July–August, and prices are lower. The weather is reliably sunny with occasional afternoon showers.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Schools are out, Italians take their beach holidays, and Rimini fills up. Hotel rates nearly double. The main event is the Notte Rosa in early July, a pink-themed festival with concerts and fireworks along the coast.
Budget shoulder season
April–May and September–October. You get mild to warm days, fewer tourists, and rooms often 30–40% cheaper than midsummer. Late September still has good swimming weather.
Weather & packing
Rimini’s summer heat is humid because of the Po Valley’s low ventilation, so light cotton and linen are essential. Pack a thin waterproof jacket: sudden downpours are common even in July.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- Rimini’s beachfront bike lane (the 'Ciclabile Adriatica') now extends all the way to Riccione, making a coastal ride easy and car-free for about 10 km.
- A major new food market opened in the old fish market near Piazza Cavour in spring 2025, with stalls for fresh seafood, cured meats and local Sangiovese wine.
- Construction on the Rimini-Miramare sea wall is ongoing through summer 2026, which may cause minor pedestrian detours along the promenade near the port area.

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport and tourist offices near the train station as they charge poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels; contactless payments are common, but some small bars and market stalls still prefer cash.
Tipping is not expected: round up the bill a euro or two in restaurants for good service, leave small change for taxi drivers (5% max), and nothing for hotel staff beyond a euro for luggage help.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Espresso at a bar counter: about €1–1.20. A cappuccino seated at a table can be €2.50–3.
Pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) or a panino from a forno: around €4–6. A supermarket sandwich and drink: about €4.
A main pasta or pizza dish in a standard trattoria: €8–12. Look for the 'menu del giorno' – often under €15 for a two-course meal.
Head to the street stalls and small bakeries along Viale Vespucci (by the beach) or near Piazza Cavour for piadina (stuffed flatbread) and fried seafood cones, roughly €5–8 each.
Supermarkets include Conad, Coop, and Eurospin for cheaper basics. Lidl and Aldi are also common in the suburbs.
For affordable high-street shopping, walk along Corso d'Augusto and Via Giordano Bruno. The Rimini Grandi Scali shopping centre (near the train station) has OVS and H&M.
Single bus ticket: €1.30 (valid 75 min). A 24-hour ticket for unlimited buses: €3.20. The best airport deal is the shuttle bus from Rimini station to Federico Fellini Airport – €1.30 one-way. From Bologna Airport, take a shuttle (€6) then a regional train to Rimini (€11–14).
Buy a Rimini Welcome Card (€12 for adults) for free bus travel and discounts on attractions. Eat lunch away from the beachfront – streets one block inland have far lower prices. Fill a reusable water bottle at the free public drinking fountains (fontanelle) found in parks and piazzas – tap water is safe.

Top Attractions in Rimini
💡 Sit on the steps of the clock tower at sunset – the light hits the old buildings perfectly. The square is also where the weekly market sets up on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid wedding parties blocking the nave – they often book the church for ceremonies. Check the side chapels for the best art.
💡 Cross the road to the little traffic island in front of it for the best photo angle without cars. Go at dusk when the arch is lit up – it's far more dramatic than in full sun.
💡 Walk to the far end near the riverbank – fewer tourists go there, and you'll find old plane trees and a quieter spot for a picnic. There's a free public fitness station by the basketball court.
💡 Entry costs €6, but it's free on the first Sunday of each month. The museum has a small rooftop terrace with views over the old town – ask staff to unlock it.
