What to see in Romagna
A land of hospitality and good food, Romagna offers much more than you'd expect from a holiday. Not far from the Adriatic coast, with its wide beaches and every kind of entertainment, a hilly hinterland opens up, made up of orchards, olive groves, vineyards and picturesque villages to explore at your leisure, perhaps on a day trip

San Marino

Perched on a spur overlooking the plain below and the Adriatic coast, San Marino is the oldest and most distinctive republic in the world. Its towers and stone alleyways offer a view stretching from the Apennines to the sea.

Borgo di San Leo

The village of San Leo, with its majestic castle, was the scene of civil and military battles for a thousand years: the fortress was turned into a prison during papal rule and today overlooks the valley with its austere charm

Gradara

Gradara preserves the splendour of its ancient walled village intact, along with the castle that formed the backdrop to the love and tragedy of Paolo and Francesca, told by Dante in the Divine Comedy.

Ravenna

Founded more than a thousand years before Christ, Ravenna is among the most important cities in Italy from a historical and artistic point of view. Its Byzantine, imperial and Gothic monuments, its mosaics unique in the world and the tomb of Dante Alighieri tell the story of the harmonious fusion of styles from different eras.

Rimini

Rimini combines in a single city the charm of Roman history, such as the Arch of Augustus and the Bridge of Tiberius, with the liveliness of Italy's most famous riviera. The old town, with Castel Sismondo and the Tempio Malatestiano, sits alongside the seafront and the nightlife that have made Rimini a favourite destination for generations of holidaymakers.

Cesena

Cesena surprises with its Biblioteca Malatestiana, the first civic library in Europe and a UNESCO heritage site, and with the Rocca Malatestiana fortress overlooking the old town. An elegant, intimate town, ideal for a stroll among squares, arcades and small shops.
