It’s already sea time in Rimini! The days are getting longer, the rays of the sun are getting warmer and the scent of the sea lingers over the golden beach with its fine, soft sand. The blue colour combined with the open spaces, the wide horizons and the presence of the water give a feeling of calm and serenity. The beaches are crowded with sunbeds and umbrellas, and the restaurants are fragrant with traditional dishes: homemade pasta, fresh fish, local cured meats and cheeses, meats, wines and oils of the local country. Rimini’s new seafront, the Parco del mare, offers a unique opportunity for a walk through the Adriatic green far from cars, for a run, a bike ride, a workout in the open-air gyms or playtime with the kids. Padel courts, basketball courts and beach volleyball courts are always available for challenges with friends.

There is also a lot of fun in Rimini! The parks on the Riviera Romagnola attract millions of visitors every year: Mirabilandia in Ravenna, the biggest theme park in Italy, Italia in Miniatura and Fiabilandia in Rimini, and Oltremare Park in Riccione. Then there are the big water parks like MiraBeach, the Aquapark in Mirabilandia, the world famous Aquafan in Riccione and Aquajoss in Conselice near Ravenna.

Among the amusement parks in Romagna there are also lesser-known establishments that are nevertheless worth visiting for their high educational value, such as the Casa delle Farfalle (Butterfly House) in Milano Marittima, the Le Navi Aquarium in Cattolica and the Parco dell’Aviazione (Aviation Park) in Rimini. Facilities of all kinds that make the Riviera dei Parchi a place where the whole family, from toddlers to teenagers, can find the form of entertainment best suited to their age.

During the holidays, a dense programme of evening events is organised throughout the summer, from the historical centre to the beaches. Musical events, children’s entertainment, video mapping, markets, traditional dinners and evenings in the beach bars are a classic in Rimini.
