About

Located in northern Italy along the Adriatic Sea, Rimini is the capital of the Province of Rimini in the Emilia-Romagna region. It is one of Europe's most popular seaside resorts and is also known as the birthplace of the legendary Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini. There are also a number of Roman ruins, including the Tiberius Bridge, the Augustus Arch and a Roman amphitheater. The main building of interest from the Renaissance era is the Tempio Malatestiano. However, most tourists visit Rimini for its 15 km of beaches. Film buffs will want to visit the Fellini Museum, and the City Museum includes departments devoted to art and architecture. Rimini has a lively nightlife, which includes clubs along the seafront and small taverns, bars and wine cellars around the historic Old Fish Market.
