When to go to Rimini
June to September is the beach season, warm and lively, with July and August the busiest and most crowded months. May and late September are calmer, mild enough for the old town and a swim. Winter is quiet and cool, with many beach hotels closed.

Tips for Rimini
- The Fellini Museum and the Surgeon's House are closed on Mondays; the old town is compact and every stop is a short walk apart.
- Rimini is a beach town as much as a Roman one: the old centre and the sea are about 15-20 minutes apart on foot.
- Eat a piadina, the local flatbread, filled with squacquerone cheese and rocket, from one of the kiosks around town.
- In the evening the Vecchia Pescheria and Piazza Cavour fill with people for aperitivo; Borgo San Giuliano has good trattorias.
- Beaches are mostly lined with private beach clubs that rent umbrellas and loungers; free public stretches are smaller.
