Rimini is one of the best places in Italy to enjoy your holidays. The picturesque city of Rimini is located on the North East coast and is said to be one of the most complete tourist resorts in Europe. In Rimini you’ll find over 300 hotels which get filled up during the summer months. It is only a small town with around 130,000 residents which swells to around 2 Million during the summer and becomes a pleasant tourist capital. Rimini is full of beautiful and well equipped beaches and over the years the type of holiday-maker that comes to Rimini has changed slightly. How so?

Rimini began its real life as a tourist capital in the 1960’s and Rimini along with the nearby town of Riccione have always been considered the so called centre points of transgression. Some of the best shops were to be found in Viale Ceccarini and many fashion icons and important celebrities along with VIP’s from Italy and Europe were to be found here. Here was to be found one of the greatest gay communities of the Italian peninsula along with the many drag queen shows that were also frequent. Many of the residents in Rimini have English, French or German surnames due to the majority of the foreign tourists coming from France, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Rimini of today is a bit different in as much as Italy has become more expensive while the cost of flights have plummeted and are even more affordable than ever before. Many English, Swedish, French and German tourists prefer taking a holiday in more remote and southern places than Rimini for the same price. Rimini however, is still very affordable and a fine place to spend your holidays thanks to the healthy competition that has arisen among the many hotels, guest houses and Rimini apartments.

More and more Eastern European tourists are making their mark and taking full advantage of this fine opportunity to spend their holidays in a fashion-orientated Italian city and spend a reasonable amount of money at the same time. It’s therefore quite normal these days to see Russian, Czech, Hungarian and Polish tourists taking in the delights of Rimini. Rimini is not just a place for the younger set as there are many family orientated hotels, guest houses and apartments in Rimini, too that coexist with the numerous areas and bars dedicated to the younger crowds among us. The number of tourists in Rimini goes up every year and the fashionable areas and districts have moved towards the beach and seaside areas of Rimini. In the gorgeous summer months you cans see the limousines pulling up and parked along the beach areas of Marano with the guests heading towards the beach bars and exclusive private clubs.
