Once on a beach holiday in Rimini, do not limit yourself to swimming in the Adriatic Sea and sunbathing. Italy is a country of many faces and varied, and locals, tourist bureaus and hotel employees will willingly tell you where to go from Rimini for one day.
Nearest surroundings
Traveling in Italy by car is very pleasant, but one should bear in mind some problem with parking spaces in historic city centers and the relative high cost of parking. That is why the option of traveling by train and bus sometimes looks preferable:
- You can go independently to Urbino (70 km) by electric train. It runs to Pesaro and departs from Rimini train station several times a day. In Pesaro, you will have to change to a bus. You will have to spend only about 10 euros for travel in order to wander through the old streets and get to know the local Doge's Palace of the 15th century.
- The train to Ancona, 105 km from Rimini, takes only 1 hour and 20 minutes. In the administrative center of the province of the same name, the Triumphal Arch of Trajan of the 2nd century AD has been preserved. and the Loreta Basilica, a Catholic shrine where all Christian pilgrims aspire to from Rimini.
- But a trip to Bergamo (350 km) is best taken with a rented car. On the way, you can look into Bologna and Piacenza, but it is better to take at least a couple of days for this tour.
Towards the leaning tower
One of the most popular sights in Italy is the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which has been falling in a small picturesque town for several centuries. When choosing where to go from Rimini, pay attention to this direction. The cities are only 300 km away, but this journey is easiest to take by car if you allocate only one day for the excursion.
Public transport offers a flight with a connection in Rome, a train ride with a change in Bologna, and a bus route that passes through several cities.
Small Italy
Both children and adults will remember for a long time an excursion to the theme park "Italy in Miniature", where models of all the main sights of the country on the Apennine Peninsula are exhibited, made on a scale of 1:50. From Rimini Station, you can get here in just 45 minutes by bus N8.
The price of a ticket to the park is about 20 euros. For this money, visitors are offered not only a walk through mini-sights, but also a ride in a real gondola in little Venice, a trip on a monorail and a few more cute entertainments.
For bags in San Marino
The dwarf state of San Marino is another popular travel destination from Rimini. Several buses leave from the city bus station every day, the ticket price is about 10 euros in both directions.
The main attractions of the tiny country are castles and the Museum of Weapons, but tourists are also attracted here by the opportunity to buy branded bags and other goods at prices much more pleasant than in Italy.
