  Arco di Augusto

  Centro Storico · 15 min

  This is Rimini’s cleanest surviving statement of its Roman origins, built in 27 BCE at the old southern gateway to the city. Use it as the starting point for a walk up Corso d’Augusto through the historic center rather than treating it as a destination in itself.

  Malatestiano Temple

  Centro Storico · 30 min

  Rimini’s cathedral is an unusually personal Renaissance project: Sigismondo Malatesta turned a church into a dynastic mausoleum, with a famously unfinished marble facade. It is a short, rewarding stop for art and history even if churches are not normally your priority.

  Domus del Chirurgo

  Borgo San Giuliano · 45 min

  This excavated Roman house preserves exceptional evidence of a physician’s practice, including surgical instruments, and makes Rimini’s ancient past feel more specific than the arch alone can. Pair the archaeological remains with the adjacent city museum for the fuller story.

  Fellini Museum

  Borgo San Giuliano · 1.5 h

  Rimini’s tribute to Federico Fellini is the city’s signature modern-cultural sight, using film imagery, drawings, photographs, and changing installations rather than a conventional biographical display. It is most rewarding for cinema fans, but even casual visitors will understand why Rimini claims the director so strongly.

  Piazza Tre Martiri

  Centro Storico · 20 min

  This is the old Roman forum and still one of the historic center’s useful orientation points, with layers of civic life from antiquity through the 20th century. It has more value as part of a walk between the arch, cathedral, and Domus than as a long stop.

  Tiberius Bridge

  Borgo San Giuliano · 25 min

  Completed under Augustus and Tiberius, this remarkably intact Roman bridge still carries pedestrians across the Marecchia and begins the old Via Aemilia. It is one of Rimini’s defining sights, especially when approached from Borgo San Giuliano rather than merely photographed from the road.

It gives a first-time visitor the beach, the widest choice of hotels and evening options, and manageable access to Rimini station and Centro Storico. It is touristy, but in Rimini that convenience is usually the point.

• Walk the Roman axis from the Arch of Augustus through Piazza Tre Martiri and Piazza Cavour to the Tiberius Bridge.
• Cross the Tiberius Bridge at dusk and wander Borgo San Giuliano for its low houses, lanes and Fellini-themed murals.
• See the exterior of Tempio Malatestiano, Castel Sismondo, Palazzo dell’Arengo and Palazzo del Podestà around Piazza Cavour.
• Swim or lie out at a signed spiaggia libera rather than paying for a bagno; one cited free stretch is around beach no. 97 near Parco Murri.
• Walk or cycle the seafront outside peak beach hours, when it is more promenade than loudspeaker-and-vendor corridor.
• The supplied current travel evidence lists the Federico Fellini Museum as free; verify admission and hours before relying on that, as museum arrangements and exhibitions can change.
