Rimini tradition draws nourishment from its ancient Villages, Borgo San Giuliano, Borgo Sant'Andrea and Borgo San Giovanni. These are identifying places of the city, where authentic traditions are still alive, illustrious people from Rimini lived and Romagna tradition food can still be tasted.
Borgo San Giuliano, founded around the year one thousand, was the old fisherman district. The atmosphere that you breathe here is load of poetry and grandeur. All you need is walking through its narrow alleys, the low houses, the pastel-coloured walls, with flowered balconies and colorful murals, to realize it immediately. You walk in silence (the zone is a pedestrian area) while breathing the anarchic and creative spirit that characterized its inhabitants. A small 'rive gauche', connected to the city by the Ponte di Tiberio (Tiberius Bridge). This district is also an ideal location for aperitifs and for tasting the delicious food offered by its numerous and characteristic restaurants and taverns. Every two years in September, in even years, the spirit of the village takes shape in the 'Festa de' borg': an unmissable appointment. It takes place every two odd years, the Borgo Sant'Andrea Festival, which, on occasion of the Patron Saint's day St. Gaudentius, invites everyone to a trip in time to rediscover the roots of this place rising outside Porta Montanara (St. Andrew’s Door), between the ancient lavatoio (wash house), the foro boario (Forum Boarium) and the antica fornace Fabbri (ancient Fabbri Furnace). In the month of July, on occasion of the anniversary of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Borgo San Giovanni Festival takes place, an ideal moment to discover the village that developed outside the Arco di Augusto (Arch of Augustus) and along the Via Flaminia. Borgo Marina is the entrance to the city from the sea with the ancient Porta Galliana (Galliana’s Door), the walls on Porto Canale and the Via Gambalunga.

You cannot leave Rimini without having tasted a real local piada. Difficult to resist the dozens of kiosks present in the city. The Rimini piada is thinner than that of the rest of Romagna. You can fill it as you wish: ham and squacquerone or wild herbs, vegetables au gratin, up to - but do not tell the purists! - chocolate. These 'little kiosks' are protagonists of the travel guide www.riministreetfood.com: a web app to find the best place to taste local street food. Key player of the typical cuisine is the blue fish from the Adriatic. Mackerels, mullets, mantis shrimps, sardines, tub gurnards and the legendary sardoncini. The most famous wine? Everyone knows it: Sangiovese, the red that warms hearts. Olive oil from Rimini hills is among the best in Italy. For those who want to take a tour through the flavours, we recommend to depart from Ponte di Tiberio (Tiberius Bridge) and cross the entire Region. The bridge is the starting point of the Via Emilia, the Roman road founded by Consul Marco Emilio Lepido in 187 B.C., that leads to Milan crossing the most famous food valley in Italy.
Walking along it, you will find enogastronomical heritage of absolute value, from Parma ham to culatello di Zibello, from Modena’s traditional balsamic vinegar to Parmigiano Reggiano, plus tastings, international renowned chefs, starred restaurants, visits to production and processing places and cooking classes for everyone.
 

The first beach resort was  established here in 1843. Today, Piazzale Fellini, with its park and the Fontana dei quattro cavalli (Fountain of the four horses), is a central venue in summer period, a corner always full of life, a scenario for special events. The Grand Hotel is the emblem of Marina Centro, a liberty style national monument and mythical place of Fellini’s adolescence, immortalized in 'Amarcord'. Over the centuries, before becoming a holiday capital, Rimini was an important port. Today its 'palata' - as in the local dialect - is the most popular promenade, especially at sunset, when the fishing boats return, followed by flocks of seagulls.

Rimini is a capital of conventions and major trade fairs. Completed in 2001 and expanded in 2017, Fiera di Rimini (Rimini’s trade fair), designed by Gmp, the Hamburg-based firm, is one of the largest exhibition centers in Italy. Entirely on one level, it has 189,000 square meters of usable space, of which 129,000 for exhibitions and 60,000 for other services, and is equipped with 24 modular conference rooms, as well as a dedicated railway station, on the Milan-Bari line.
Ultramodern, located near the city center, the Palacongressi di Rimini is one of the most versatile, refined and advanced convention centres on an international level. With 39 rooms, capable of accommodating 9,000 people, Rimini's Palacongressi can host multiple simultaneous events. The large outdoor park is crossed by bike and pedestrian paths connecting the centre to the adjacent artificial lake, to the old town on one side and to the Rimini seafront on the other.
