Your Perfect Room

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.
