Are you looking for\u00a0places and activities to do with the whole family in Rimini area<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Here is a\u00a02-day itinerary<\/strong> to experience the area in a child-friendly way.<\/p>\n

DAY 1 – Rimini<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is well known that Rimini<\/a><\/strong> is the capital of summer fun, even for families.<\/p>\n

Not only do its equipped beaches<\/a> offer all the useful services for those traveling with children and teenagers, but the numerous amusement parks (Italia in Miniatura<\/a>, Fiabilandia<\/a>, Oltremare<\/a>, Aquafan<\/a> and Cattolica Aquarium<\/a>) that arise in its vicinity are able to leave indelible memories of adventures and new discoveries.<\/p>\n

However, today we want to take you to discover a lesser-known side of the city, which boasts an interesting historic center, full of perfectly preserved monuments and glimpses capable of capturing the imagination of the little ones.<\/p>\n

The itinerary starts with a bike tour<\/strong> (find out where to rent bikes in Rimini<\/a>) that leads from the seafront towards the city center: you start by taking Line1 of the Bicipolitana<\/em><\/a>, which moves along the Parco del Mare<\/a>, until you reach the port of Rimini; then go up along the Canal Port, meeting the Lighthouse and continuing up to the spectacular Tiberius Bridge<\/a> and the Piazza sull’Acqua<\/a>, to reach the picturesque Borgo San Giuliano.<\/p>\n

Here a stop is a must: Borgo San Giuliano<\/a><\/strong> is the oldest village in Rimini; born around the year 1000 as a fishermen’s quarter, it’s today a symbol of the city<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Strolling through its alleys and squares, immersing yourself in the colorful houses and murals<\/strong> that adorn the walls, allows you to breathe in the poetic atmosphere of this village, which was one of Fellini’s most loved places in Rimini.<\/p>\n

Here there are countless “games” that can be invented to visit the village with the little ones: who sees more houses of a given color, who sees the next mural first, etc.<\/p>\n

From Borgo San Giuliano you can choose whether to continue by bike along the Green Ring of the<\/a> Bicipolitana<\/a> – which leads through the Giovanni Paolo II Park alongside a lake inhabited by ducks and swans and reaches the ancient Arch of Augustus<\/a><\/strong> – or whether to recross the Tiberius Bridge to arrive in a few rides in the heart of Rimini, Piazza Cavour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Piazza Cavour<\/strong>, the curiosity of the little ones can be captured by the central fountain, famous as Fontana della Pigna<\/a> (Pine-Cone Fountain), whose water games enchanted even Leonardo da Vinci, and by the imposing and at the same time welcoming architecture of the Vecchia Pescheria<\/a><\/strong> (Old Fish Market).<\/p>\n

Piazza Cavour is also overlooked by some of Rimini’s most historic buildings<\/strong>: Palazzo dell’Arengo and Palazzo del Podest\u00e0, which today house the PART<\/a><\/strong> (Rimini’s Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art), and the Galli municipal Theatre<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Just behind the Galli Theater, the itinerary continues with a visit to the Fellini Museum<\/a><\/strong>, a place born to tell the cultural heritage of one of the most illustrious directors of the Twentieth Century, in a composite, narrative path that can fascinate the whole family.<\/p>\n

The Fellini Museum is a widespread museum made up of 3 places: Castel Sismondo<\/a><\/strong>, which is the Rocca Malatestiana of Rimini, the Malatesta Square, and the Cinema Fulgor<\/a><\/strong>, the cinema frequented by Fellini when he was a child (later evoked in some of his movies such as “Amarcord” and “Roma”).<\/p>\n

Also not to be missed with kids is the statue of the rhinoceros<\/a> in Piazzetta San Martino, a tribute to the film “E la nave va”.<\/p>\n
