What To Do

• Museo Civico
  Located in an old convent, the Museo Civico displays a vast array of artifacts and information regarding Rimini and the surrounding area. It’s also known as the Museo della Città di Rimini.
• Castel Sismondo
  Lord Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta of Rimini built this castle in 1437. The Malatestas were a very powerful family during this time period. Castel Sismondo was originally surrounded by a moat, but today, only the central parts of its structure remain.
• Tempio Malatestiano
  This Romanesque church was consecrated in 800, but remains partially unfinished to date. The dome, which was intended to be the largest in Italy, was never built.
• Hit the Beach
  Rimini’s white sand beaches are perfect for a day of relaxation and fun in the sun.

• Day Trip to San Marino
  Haven’t heard of San Marino? It’s a micro-nation located inside Italy. Take a day trip to the “world’s oldest republic” and check out what this country is all about. You won’t regret the scary bus ride up the mountain.
