Roman Rimini, evenings in the old town and a day across the border. A relaxed starting point inspired by my own Rimini and San Marino travels.

My videos follow the Roman bridge, Rimini after dark, the bus into San Marino and the little road train uphill. The suggested itinerary below is a flexible way to connect those moments, not a claim that a package or guided tour is included.
Make time for the Tiberius Bridge, then wander towards Piazza Cavour and the old fish market. The market was built in 1747; today the surrounding streets make a good starting point for an evening out. Leave space for a meal and an unhurried walk.
Check both legs of the Rimini–San Marino bus journey before setting out. In my visit I booked online and caught the bus outside Rimini railway station. Your departure stop and service may differ, so follow the current operator instructions. Give the historic centre its own day rather than squeezing it between other excursions.
Return to a favourite part of Rimini, explore the waterfront or leave a buffer for travel. If you only have two days, combine the first evening with your Rimini day and keep the San Marino outing separate.
I stayed here for four nights in Rimini. My hotel reel shows the lobby, room, balcony and bathroom; in the caption I said I was happy with my choice. That describes my visit, not a guarantee of the room or experience available on your dates.
