Rimini is the liveliest beach resort town in Italy, on the Adriatic Sea, with over 15 kilometres of sandy beach lined with brightly coloured umbrellas. Beyond the beach, it has a Roman old town with an ancient bridge and triumphal arch, and it's the gateway to San Marino, the oldest tiny country in the world, perched on a mountaintop less than an hour away.
