Just over an hour on the train from Bologna, Rimini sits on the central east coast of Italy. With its beautiful long light sandy beaches and stunning sunsets I was pleasantly surprised! Wasn’t sure what to expect as I read that it’s popularity had greatly declined since the 60’s and 70’s where it was the “place to be”.

Young and vibrant it certainly is. San Giuliano is only a short bus ride from the main train station. The beach is lively but without being over bearing. This is certainly where the Italians holiday (and quite a few French) but I haven’t come across any Brits as yet! 

Hotel situated only 5 minute walk from the beach which is where I maybe tomorrow.
