The area was inhabited by Etruscans{{cite book|title=The Etruscan World|publisher=Taylor & Francis|year=2014|isbn=9781134055234|page=299|language=en}} until the arrival of the Celts, who held it from the 6th century BC until their defeat by the Umbri in 283 BC. In 268 BC at the mouth of the Ariminus (now called the Marecchia), the Roman Republic founded the colonia of Ariminum.

Ariminum was seen as a bastion against Celtic invaders and also as a springboard for conquering the Padana plain. The city was involved in the civil wars of the first century, aligned with the popular party and its leaders, first Gaius Marius, and then Julius Caesar. After crossing the Rubicon, the latter made his legendary appeal to the legions in the Forum of Rimini.

As the terminus of the Via Flaminia, which ended in the town at the surviving prestigious Arch of Augustus (erected 27 BC), Rimini was a road junction connecting central and northern Italy by the Via Aemilia that led to Piacenza and the Via Popilia that extended northwards; it also opened up trade by sea and river.

Remains of the amphitheatre that could seat 12,000 people, and a five-arched bridge of Istrian stone completed by Tiberius (21 AD), are still visible. Later Galla Placidia built the church of Santo Stefano.

The evidence that Rimini is of Roman origins is illustrated by the city being divided by two main streets, the Cardo and the Decumanus.

The end of Roman rule was marked by destruction caused by invasions and wars, but also by the establishment of the palaces of the Imperial officers and the first churches, the symbol of the spread of Christianity that held the important Council of Ariminum in the city in 359.

When the Ostrogoths conquered Rimini in 493, Odoacer, besieged in Ravenna, had to capitulate. During the Gothic War (535–554), Rimini was taken and retaken many times. In its vicinity the Byzantine general Narses overthrew (553) the Alamanni. Under the Byzantine rule, it belonged to the Duchy of the Pentapolis, part of the Exarchate of Ravenna.

In 728, it was taken with many other cities by Liutprand, King of the Lombards but returned to the Byzantines about 735. Pepin the Short gave it to the Holy See, but during the wars of the popes and the Italian cities against the emperors, Rimini sided with the latter.

In the 13th century, it suffered from the discords of the Gambacari and Ansidei families. The city became a municipality in the 14th century, and with the arrival of the religious orders, numerous convents and churches were built, providing work for many illustrious artists. In fact, Giotto inspired the 14th-century School of Rimini, which was the expression of original cultural ferment.

The House of Malatesta emerged from the struggles between municipal factions with Malatesta da Verucchio, who in 1239 was named podestà (chief magistrate) of the city. Despite interruptions, his family held authority until 1528. In 1312 he was succeeded by Malatestino Malatesta, first signore (lord) of the city and Pandolfo I Malatesta, the latter's brother, named by Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor, as imperial vicar of Romagna.

Ferrantino, son of Malatesta II (1335), was opposed by his cousin Ramberto and by Cardinal Bertrand du Pouget (1331), legate of Pope John XXII. Malatesta II was also lord of Pesaro. He was succeeded by Malatesta Ungaro (1373) and Galeotto I Malatesta, uncle of the former (1385), lord also of Fano (from 1340), Pesaro, and Cesena (1378).

His son, Carlo I Malatesta, one of the most respected condottieri of the time, enlarged the Riminese possessions and restored the port. Carlo died childless in 1429, and the lordship was divided into three parts, Rimini going to Galeotto Roberto Malatesta, a Catholic zealot inadequate for the position.

The Pesarese line of the Malatestas tried, in fact, to take advantage of his weakness and to capture the city, but Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Carlo's nephew, who was only 14 at the time, intervened to save it. Galeotto retired to a convent, and Sigismondo obtained the rule of Rimini.

Sigismondo Pandolfo was the most famous lord of Rimini. In 1433, Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor, sojourned in the city and for a while he was the commander-in-chief of the Papal armies. A skilled general, Sigismondo often acted as condottiero for other states to gain money to embellish it (he was also a dilettante poet). He had the famous Tempio Malatestiano rebuilt by Leon Battista Alberti. However, after the rise of Pope Pius II, he had to fight constantly for the independence of the city.

In 1463, he was forced to submit to Pius II, who left him only Rimini and little more; Roberto Malatesta, his son (1482), under Pope Paul II, nearly lost his state, but under Pope Sixtus IV, became the commanding officer of the pontifical army against Ferdinand of Naples. Sigismondo was, however, defeated by Neapolitan forces in the battle of Campomorto (1482). Pandolfo IV, his son (1500), lost Rimini to Cesare Borgia, after whose overthrow it fell to Venice (1503–1509), but it was later retaken by Pope Julius II and incorporated into the Papal States.

After the death of Pope Leo X, Pandolfo returned for several months, and with his son Sigismondo Malatesta held a rule which looked tyrannous even for the time. Pope Adrian VI expelled him again and gave Rimini to the Duke of Urbino, the pope's vicar in Romagna.

In 1527, Sigismondo managed to regain the city, but in the following year the Malatesta dominion died forever.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Rimini, now a secondary town of the Papal States, was ruled by an Apostolic Legate. Towards the end of the 16th century, the municipal square (now Piazza Cavour), which had been closed off on a site where the Poletti Theatre was subsequently built, was redesigned. The statue of Pope Paul V has stood in the centre of the square next to the fountain since 1614.

In the 16th century, the 'grand square', which was where markets and tournaments were held, underwent various changes. A small temple dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and a clock tower were built there, giving the square its present shape and size.

Until the 18th century raiding armies, earthquakes, famines, floods and pirate attacks ravaged the city. In this gloomy situation and due to a weakened local economy, fishing took on great importance, a fact testified by the construction of structures such as the fish market and Rimini Lighthouse.

In 1797, Rimini, along with the rest of Romagna, was affected by the passage of the Napoleonic army and became part of the Cisalpine Republic. Napoleonic policy suppressed the monastic orders, confiscating their property and thus dispersing a substantial heritage, and demolished many churches including the ancient cathedral of Santa Colomba.

The troops of Joachim Murat, King of Naples, marched through Rimini on 30 March 1815.{{Cite web |last= |date=6 May 2015 |title=Il proclama di Rimini |trans-title=The Rimini Proclamation |url=https://www.ilponte.com/il-proclama-di-rimini/ |access-date=18 January 2024 |website=Il Ponte |language=it-IT}} In a last attempt to gain allies before his defeat in the Neapolitan War,{{Cite web |last=Sacco |first=Antonio |date=30 May 2020 |title=Unificare l'Italia, il sogno di Murat |trans-title=Unifying Italy, Murat's dream |url=https://napoli.corriere.it/notizie/cronaca/20_maggio_30/unificare-l-italia-sogno-murat-5de17248-a286-11ea-a5d1-29996a211afa.shtml |access-date=18 January 2024 |website=Corriere della Sera |language=it-IT}} Murat published the Rimini Proclamation, one of the earliest calls for Italian unification. In 1845, a band of adventurers commanded by Ribbotti entered the city and proclaimed a constitution which was soon abolished. In 1860, Rimini and Romagna were incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy.

The city was transformed after the 1843 founding of the first bathing establishment and the Kursaal, a building constructed to host sumptuous social events, became the symbol of Rimini's status as a tourist resort. In just a few years, the seafront underwent considerable development work, making Rimini 'the city of small villas'.

During World War I, Rimini and its surrounding infrastructure was one of the primary targets of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. After Italy's declaration of war on 15 May 1915, the Austro-Hungarian fleet left its harbours the same day and started its assault on the Adriatic coast between Venice and Barletta.{{Cn|date=March 2024}} The 1916 Rimini earthquakes, on 17 May and 16 August, led to the demolition of 615 buildings in the city, with many historic churches severely damaged.{{Cite web |last=Masini |first=Manlio |date=10 August 2021 |title=Il terremoto dell'agosto 1916: paura, sofferenza e solidarietà |trans-title=The earthquake of August 1916: fear, suffering and solidarity |url=https://www.corriereromagna.it/archivio/il-terremoto-dellagosto-1916-paura-sofferenza-e-solidarieta-BWCR256896 |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=Corriere Romagna |language=it-IT}} 4,174 people were displaced between Rimini and Riccione.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=7 December 2023 |title=8 dicembre 1916 - Legge speciale per Rimini distrutta dal terremoto |trans-title=8 December 1916 – Special law for Rimini destroyed by the earthquake |url=https://www.chiamamicitta.it/8-dicembre-1916-legge-speciale-per-rimini-distrutta-dal-terremoto/ |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=Chiamami Città |language=it-IT}}{{Cite web |last=Bucci |first=Sara |date=17 May 2016 |title=Cent'anni fa il terremoto che distrusse Rimini |trans-title=One hundred years ago, the earthquake that destroyed Rimini |url=https://www.sanmarinortv.sm/news/attualita-c4/cent-anni-fa-terremoto-distrusse-rimini-a58454 |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=San Marino RTV |language=it-SM}} On 19 October 1922, Riccione was separated from Rimini to form a separate {{Lang|it|comune}}.{{Cite web |last=Conti |first=Enea |date=10 July 2022 |title=Riccione, la "festa infinita" per i cento anni del Comune |trans-title=Riccione: The "endless celebration" for the hundred years of the municipality |url=https://corrieredibologna.corriere.it/bologna/cultura-spettacoli/22_ottobre_07/riccione-festa-infinita-cento-anni-dell-indipendenza-75d27dd0-465c-11ed-be44-64ac267318cb.shtml |access-date=14 December 2023 |website=Corriere di Bologna |language=it-IT}}

Following Rimini's liberation, reconstruction work began, culminating in huge development of the tourist industry in the city.

Rimini is situated at 44°03′00″ north and 12°34′00″ east, along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, at the southeastern edge of Emilia-Romagna, at a short distance from Montefeltro and Marche. Rimini extends for 135.71 square km and borders the municipalities of Bellaria-Igea Marina, San Mauro Pascoli, and Santarcangelo di Romagna towards NW, Verucchio and Serravalle, San Marino towards SW, Coriano towards S, and Riccione towards SE.

Rimini is the main centre of a {{convert|50|km|0|abbr=off|adj=on}} coastal conurbation, which extends from Cervia to Gabicce Mare, including the seaside resorts of Cesenatico, Gatteo a Mare, Bellaria-Igea Marina, Riccione, Misano Adriatico and Cattolica.Giorgio Conti and Pier Giorgio Pasini, Rimini Città come Storia 2, Rimini, Giusti, 2000, p. 283. The conurbation is a result of urban sprawl as the tourist economy developed along the {{Lang|it|riviera romagnola}}.

Rimini's natural geography provides a strategically-important passage along the Adriatic Sea at the boundary between northern Italy, characterised by the plains of the Po Valley, and central Italy, characterised by more mountainous terrain. For its geographical position and its climatic features, Rimini is situated on the edge between the Mediterranean and the central European microclimates,Emilia-Romagna, Milano, Touring Club Italiano, 1999, p. 27Pietro Zangheri, Repertorio sistematico e topografico della flora e fauna vivente e fossile della Romagna, Tomo V, Museo civico di Storia Naturale di Verona, Verona, 1966–1970, p. 2052. providing an environment of notable naturalistic value.

Rimini's ancient coastline was situated much farther inland: it gradually shifted outward over centuries, with new land developed throughout the 20th century.{{cite book |last1=Gambolati |first1=G. |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/300046774 |title=CENAS: Coastline Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropogenic Land Subsidence |last2=Giunta |first2=G. |last3=Putti |first3=M. |last4=Teatini |first4=P. |last5=Tomasi |first5=L. |last6=Betti |first6=I. |last7=Morelli |first7=M. |last8=Berlamont |first8=J. |last9=De Backer |first9=K. |date=1998 |isbn=978-94-011-5147-4 |series=Water Science and Technology Library |volume=28 |pages=1–34 |chapter=Coastal Evolution of the Upper Adriatic Sea due to Sea Level Rise and Natural and Anthropic Land Subsidence |doi=10.1007/978-94-011-5147-4_1 |issn=0921-092X |last10=Decouttere |first10=C. |last11=Monbaliu |first11=J. |last12=Yu |first12=C.S. |last13=Brøker |first13=I. |last14=Christensen |first14=E.D. |last15=Elfrink |first15=B. |last16=Dante |first16=A. |last17=Gonella |first17=M.}}

Rimini's city centre was founded between two rivers: the Marecchia and the Ausa. Until the 1960s, the Ausa flowed south of Rimini's city centre, running between the present-day Rimini Sud junction of the A14 tolled highway and the Arch of Augustus, where it turned north-east along the old city walls to empty at Piazzale Kennedy. From the 1960s, the Ausa was diverted to flow parallel to the {{Interlanguage link|SS16|it|Strada statale 16 Adriatica}} state road along cemented banks, and empty into the Marecchia.{{cite web |title=Parco Ausa |trans-title=Ausa Park |url=https://www.ecomuseorimini.it/parco-ausa/ |access-date=14 March 2022 |publisher=Ecomuseo Rimini |language=it-IT}} The diversion was completed in 1972, with the Ausa's former route reduced to a sewage outlet,{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=7 August 2023 |title=7 agosto 1763 - La burrasca spazza via tutte le barche nel porto di Rimini |trans-title=7 August 1763 – The storm sweeps away all the boats in the port of Rimini |url=https://www.chiamamicitta.it/7-agosto-1763-bufera-distrugge-tutte-le-barche-nel-porto-rimini/ |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=Chiamami Città |language=it-IT}} and redeveloped into a series of public parks.

The Marecchia itself, which flows north of Rimini, was also deviated to empty into the Adriatic Sea further north, between San Giuliano Mare and Rivabella. The deviation was prompted because the river was subjected to periodic, destructive floods near its mouth, where the riverbed became narrow after various bends. The ancient riverbed is still used as Rimini's harbour.L'Emilia-Romagna paese per paese, Firenze, Bonechi, 1984, p. 250.

To its southwest, Rimini is surrounded by several rolling hills: Covignano ({{convert|153|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=off}} altitude), Vergiano ({{convert|81|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=off}} altitude), San Martino Monte l'Abbate ({{convert|57|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=off}} altitude) and San Lorenzo in Correggiano ({{convert|60|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=off}} altitude). The hills are widely cultivated, with vineyards, olive groves and orchards, and historic villas.

Rimini's city centre, bounded by the Malatesta city walls, was divided in the medieval era into four rioni. Clodio, in the city's north, was popular and a peculiar urban structure tied with the Marecchia. Pomposo, in the city's east, was the largest district, and included large orchards and convents. Cittadella, in the city's west, was the most important district, including the municipal palaces, Castel Sismondo, and the Cathedral of Santa Colomba. Montecavallo, in the city's south, is characterised today by bowed, irregular streets of medieval origins, by the Fossa Patara creek and a small hill called Montirone.Giorgio Conti and Pier Giorgio Pasini, Rimini Città come Storia, Rimini, Giusti, 1982, p. 215. The boundaries of these rioni are not known, but it is assumed that they followed the current Corso d'Augusto, Via Garibaldi, and Via Gambalunga.File:Rimini Borgo San Giuliano 1.jpg

Outside Rimini's city centre were four ancient boroughs: San Giuliano, San Giovanni, San Andrea, and Marina. These were entirely incorporated to the city by the urban sprawl in the early 20th century:Giorgio Conti and Pier Giorgio Pasini, Rimini Città come Storia, Rimini, Giusti, 1982, p. 251.

• Borgo San Giuliano, along Via Emilia, dates to the 11th century and was originally a fishermen's settlement. Dominated by the Church of San Giuliano, it is one of the most picturesque spots of the city, with narrow streets and squares, colourful small houses and many frescoes representing characters and places of Federico Fellini's films.
• Borgo San Giovanni, on both sides of Via Flaminia, was populated by artisans and the middle class.
• Borgo Sant'Andrea, located outside of Porta Montanara on the city's southwestern gate, was tied with agriculture and commerce of cows.
• Borgo Marina, on the right bank of the Marecchia, was heavily transformed by Fascist demolitions and World War II bombings, which hit this area due to its proximity to the bridges and railway station of the city.

San Giovanni and Sant'Andrea were developed in the 15th century; they burned in a fire in 1469 and were rebuilt in the 19th century, relocating small industries and manufactures, including a brick factory and a phosphorus matches factory.

Rimini's municipality includes the coastal districts of {{Interlanguage link|Torre Pedrera|it}}, Viserbella, Viserba, Rivabella, and San Giuliano Mare to the city centre's north. To the city centre's south are the coastal districts of Bellariva, Marebello, Rivazzurra, and Miramare. These coastal districts are characterised by their tourist economy, with hotels and entertainment venues.

Along the Via Emilia, to Rimini's northwest, is the suburb of Celle and Santa Giustina, just before the border with Santarcangelo di Romagna. North of Santa Giustina are the villages of Orsoleto and San Vito. Along the Via Marecchiese, to Rimini's east, are the suburbs of Marecchiese, Villaggio Azzurro, Padulli, and Spadarolo, and the rural village of Corpolò. On the road to San Marino is the village of Grotta Rossa. On the road to Ospedaletto is the suburb of Villaggio 1° Maggio and the rural village of Gaiofana. Along the Via Flaminia, to Rimini's southeast, are the suburbs of Colonnella and Lagomaggio.

{{As of|2019}}, Rimini has 150,951 inhabitants, with a density of about 1,100 inhabitants per square kilometre within the city limits.

In 1861, by the time of the first Italian census, the population was around 28,000; in 1931 it was more than double, 57,000.

With the increasing tourism development, population rapidly grew between 1951 and 1981, the fastest growing period for Rimini in the 20th century, when the city's population grew from 77,000 to over 128,000.{{cite web|url=http://www.tuttitalia.it/emilia-romagna/61-rimini/statistiche/censimenti-popolazione/ | title=Dati popolazione ai censimenti dal 1861 al 2011 |language=it}}

During the 20th century, two former districts of Rimini got administrative autonomy, causing two distinct temporary drops in population totals: Riccione in 1922 and Bellaria-Igea Marina in 1956.

Foreign population is 18,396,{{cite web|url= http://statistica.comune.rimini.it/demografia/bollettino_2014.pdf | title=Notiziario demografico 2014|type = PDF |language=it| page=2}} (12.5% of the total), mainly from Eastern Europe, East Asia and North Africa. Between 1992 and 2014, foreign population grew from around 1,800 to over 18,000 units. The most important foreign communities are Albanians (3,479), Romanians (2,904), Ukrainians (2,409), Chinese (1,197) and Moldovans (1,023).{{cite web|url= http://statistica.comune.rimini.it/demografia/bollettino_2014.pdf | title=Notiziario demografico 2014|type = PDF |language=it| pages=4–5}} Other notable foreign groups in the city are Senegalese, Moroccans, Macedonians, Tunisians, Russians, Bangladeshis and Peruvians.

Rimini's population is mostly Catholic. The city is the seat of the Diocese of Rimini, a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia.

The first cathedral of the diocese was the former Cathedral of Santa Colomba until 1798, when the title was transferred to the church of Sant'Agostino. Since 1809, Rimini's cathedral is the Tempio Malatestiano.

Besides Roman Catholic churches, there are also Orthodox, Evangelical and Adventist churches. Between the 13th and 14th century, Rimini had a flourishing Jewish community, which built three distinct synagogues, all destroyed, formerly located around the area of Piazza Cavour, Via Cairoli and Santa Colomba.

In its post-war history, Rimini has largely voted for left-wing parties. In the 1975 regional elections, the Italian Communist Party won 49.9% of votes in Rimini, its best-ever electoral result.{{Cite web |last=Zaghini |first=Paolo |date=4 August 2019 |title=Niki Pagliarani, il sindaco che diede a Rimini i parchi e i Peep |trans-title=Niki Pagliarani, the mayor who gave Rimini parks and the Peep |url=https://www.chiamamicitta.it/niki-pagliarani-sindaco-diede-rimini-parchi-peep/ |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=Chiamami Città |language=it-IT}}

For much of Rimini's modern history, the city's municipal government has been politically subordinate to other cities in Romagna. From 1540 until 1797, with a brief restoration in 1815, Rimini was part of the Papal States' Legation of Romagna, headquartered in Ravenna. In 1797, the Cisalpine Republic incorporated Rimini into the Rubicon Department, headquartered in Forlì. With the return of the Papal States in 1816, Rimini came under the Legation of Forlì. In 1850, Rimini came under the reformed Legation of Romagna, now with Bologna as its capital. Finally, on 27 December 1859, with Romagna's annexation into the Kingdom of Italy, Rimini became part of the Province of Forlì.{{Cite web |last=Farini |first=Luigi Carlo |author-link=Luigi Carlo Farini |date=27 December 1859 |title=Decreto del 27 dicembre 1859, n. 79 |trans-title=Decree of 27 December 1859, no. 79 |url=https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Decreto_del_27_dicembre_1859,_n._79 |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=it.wikisource.org |language=it}}

The city's other economic sectors, such as services, commerce, construction industry, have been influenced by the development of tourism. Commerce is one of the main economic sectors, thanks to the presence of a large wholesale center, two hypermarkets, department stores, supermarkets and hundreds of shops and boutiques. Industry, less developed than tourism and services, includes various companies active in food industry, woodworking machineries, building constructions, furnishing, clothing and publishing. Notable companies are Bimota (motorcycles), SCM (woodworking machines), Trevi S.p.A. (electronic goods). Rimini is also seat of a historic railway works plant.{{cite web|url=http://www.fsnews.it/cms/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=09089eb7f0984410VgnVCM1000008916f90aRCRD|title= L'officina Locomotive di Rimini fra tradizione e innovazione|language=it|page= 1}}

Agriculture and fishing were the city's main economic sources until the early 20th century. The most common crops, in terms of surface area, are alfalfa, wheat, durum wheat, grape vine, olive tree, barley and sorghum. Among fruit trees dominates apricot, peach and plum trees.{{cite web|url=https://emiliaromagna.cia.it/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/annata-agraria-2018_impaginato_21_11_18-1.pdf| title=CIA Romagna.

The City Museum ({{Lang|it|Museo della Città}}), is Rimini's main and oldest museum. It was inaugurated in 1872 as the Archaeology Gallery, at the ground floor of Palazzo Gambalunga, thanks to Riminese historian Luigi Tonini, who researched and studied the city's archaeological heritage.Anna Graziosi Ripa, Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese, in: Analisi di Rimini Antica, Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 317. The Archaeology Gallery was conceived as a collection of Etruscan civilization and Roman antiquities, found in Rimini and in the surrounding countryside. In 1923, it moved to the monastery of San Francesco, and was expanded with a section of medieval art in 1938. Its collections avoided the destruction of the Second World War after they were moved to shelters in Spadarolo and Novafeltria.Anna Graziosi Ripa, Per la storia del Museo Archeologico riminese, in: Analisi di Rimini Antica, Rimini, Comune di Rimini, 1980, p. 158. In 1964, the collections moved to Palazzo Visconti and finally, from 1990, to the {{Lang|it|Collegio dei Gesuiti}}, a large Jesuit convent designed by Bolognese architect Alfonso Torreggiani, built in 1749.

In the Archaeological department are exhibited grave goods from Villanovian tombs of Verucchio and Covignano, architectural pieces, sculptures, mosaics, ceramics, coins of Republican and Imperial eras, and the exceptional medical kit from the Domus del Chirurgo. The collection of the Roman Lapidary, exhibited in the inner courtyard of the convent, has funerary monuments, epigraphies and milestones.File:Scuola riminese, giudizio universale, da san giovanni evangelista (oggi sant'agostino) a rimini, 1310 ca. 01.JPGFile:Museo della città di Rimini, cortile 02.jpgThe Medieval and Modern Art departments include collections of paintings, sculptures and art objects by artists from Romagna (Giovanni da Rimini, Giuliano da Rimini, Guido Cagnacci), Emilia (Guercino, Vittorio Maria Bigari), Tuscany (Domenico Ghirlandaio, Agostino di Duccio) and Veneto (Giovanni Bellini), from 14th to 19th century. The City Museum arranges temporary exhibitions and promotes researches, study and restoration activities of the city's historical and artistic heritage.

The Fellini Museum, dedicated to Federico Fellini, houses exhibitions of documents, drawings, scenographies and costumes related to the Riminese film director. It opened in 2021 and is spread across the Castel Sismondo, Piazza Malatesta, and Fulgor Palace.{{cite news |title=A Fellini Museum, as Lavish as His Movies |date=31 August 2021 |last=Povoledo |first=Elisabetta |work=The New York Times |access-date=19 August 2024 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/31/movies/fellini-museum-rimini-italy.html}}

The Museum of Glances ({{Lang|it|Museo degli Sguardi}}) is housed in Villa Alvarado, on the Covignano hill.

The Maritime and Small Fishing Museum ({{Lang|it|Museo della Piccola Pesca e della Marineria}}), in Viserbella, exhibits Rimini's nautical history through a collection of boats, fishing tools, photographs and a large seashells collection, with pieces from all over the Mediterranean Sea.Pier Giorgio Pasini, Musei nella Provincia di Rimini, Rimini, Provincia di Rimini, 2006, p. 53.

Between 1842 and 1857, the Teatro Nuovo Comunale, now the Amintori Galli Theatre, was built to a neoclassical design by Luigi Poletti; it is considered one of his architectural masterpieces. On 16 August 1857, the theatre hosted the world premiere of Giuseppe Verdi's Aroldo, which was a major event in the city, attracting many foreign visitors.{{Cite web |last=Giovagnoli |first=Attile |date=15 October 2018 |title=Giuseppe Verdi, il teatro e l'estate memorabile del 1857 a Rimini |trans-title=Giuseppe Verdi, the theatre, and the memorable summer of 1857 in Rimini |url=https://www.riminiduepuntozero.it/giuseppe-verdi-il-teatro-e-lestate-memorabile-del-1857-a-rimini/ |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=Riminiduepuntozero |language=it-IT}}{{Cite web |last=Olivelli |first=Renato |date=27 August 2021 |title=Rimini: Aroldo in equilibrio tra cruenza fascista e riconciliazione amorosa |trans-title=Rimini: Aroldo in balance between fascist cruelty and loving reconciliation |url=https://www.lesalonmusical.it/rimini-aroldo-in-equilibrio-tra-cruenza-fascista-e-riconciliazione-amorosa/ |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=Le Salon Musical |language=it-IT}} During the Second World War, the theatre was severely damaged by Allied bombardment.{{Cite web |title=Teatro Galli |trans-title=Galli Theatre |url=https://www.riminibombardata.it/percorso/teatro-galli/ |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=Rimini Bombardata |language=it-IT}} Following a complete restoration in the 2010s, the theatre reopened on 28 October 2018.

Rimini appeared on the movie screen for the first time in some early footages, such as the documentary "Rimini l'Ostenda d'Italia" (1912), and in various Istituto Luce's newsreels in the Thirties. The film director Federico Fellini, was born and raised in Rimini, portrayed characters, places and atmospheres of his hometown through his movies, which however were almost entirely shot in Cinecittà's studios in Rome: I Vitelloni, 8 e ½ (Oscar award in 1964), I clowns, Amarcord (Oscar award in 1975). Other Italian movies filmed in Rimini includes "La prima notte di quiete" by Valerio Zurlini, "Rimini Rimini" by Sergio Corbucci, "Abbronzatissimi" by Bruno Gaburro, "Sole negli occhi" by Andrea Porporati, "Da zero a dieci" by Luciano Ligabue and "Non pensarci" by Gianni Zanasi.

Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many social events and dance parties took place at the Bathing Establishment, hosting celebrities such as soprano Elena Bianchini-Cappelli and tenor Enrico Caruso.

In recent years, the city inspired the homonymous music album by Fabrizio De André, released in 1978, and it is cited in various popular Italian and foreign songs by Fabrizio De André, Francesco Guccini, Nino Rota, Elvis Costello, Fred Buscaglione. Also born in Rimini were the songwriter Samuele Bersani and the composer and music producer Carlo Alberto Rossi, author of some of Mina's songs.

Rimini's cuisine is simple and characterized by intense flavours and it is indissolubly related to the traditions of rural culture, influenced by the city's location—between the sea and the hills and near the border between Romagna and Marche.

The traditional first course is pasta, which includes regular pasta, pasta in broth and baked pasta, prepared in many different shapes. Almost all pasta dishes require a base of "sfoglia", a dough of eggs and flour, handmade with a rolling pin. First courses include cappelletti, passatelli in broth, lasagne, cannelloni, nidi di rondine, ravioli, tagliatelle, garganelli, maltagliati, gnocchi and strozzapreti,{{cite web |url = http://en.riviera.rimini.it/situr/flavours

| title=Riviera di Rimini. Flavours }} seasoned with bolognese sauce or a dressing of butter and sage.

Second courses include meat dishes, such as pollo alla cacciatora, rabbit in porchetta, meat-filled zucchini, sausages and mixed grilled meats, and fish dishes, like barbecues of atlantic mackerels, sardines, rotisseries of oily fishes, sepias with peas, fried squids and gianchetti (known here as "omini nudi").{{cite web |url = http://en.riviera.rimini.it/situr/flavours

Piada is a flatbread of ancient traditions, thin and crumbly, obtained from a dough of flour, water, lard and salt, and baked on a scorching "testo" of terracotta or cast iron. It is often accompanied by grilled meats or fishes, sausages, gratinée vegetables, salami, prosciutto, fresh cheeses and country herbs.{{cite web |url = http://en.riviera.rimini.it/situr/flavours/traditional-recipes/recipe-of-piada-or-piadina.html| title=Riviera di Rimini.

Rimini Landmarks and Monuments|page= 1}} as a result of the succession of various civilizations, dominations and historical events through its history, from the Romans to the Byzantines, the medieval comune, the Malatesta seignory, the Venetian Republic and the Papal States dominations.

The city has always been a key gate to the Orient and the southern areas of the Mediterranean for the Po Valley, thanks to its geographical position and its harbour, and a meeting point between cultures of Northern and Central Italy.

Rimini has monuments of different eras, with important examples of architecture from the Roman age, such as the Arch of Augustus, the Tiberius Bridge, the Amphitheatre and the Domus del Chirurgo; from the Middle Ages, such as the Palazzo dell'Arengo, the church of Sant'Agostino and Castel Sismondo; from the Renaissance, with the Tempio Malatestiano, masterpiece of Leon Battista Alberti.{{cite web |url= http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/503865/Rimini| title= Encyclopædia Britannica. Rimini. }}

Rimini's archaeological heritage includes some domus of Republican and Imperial age, characterized by polychrome or black and white mosaics, necropolis and sections of the pavement of the ancient Roman streets. The city, along with its boroughs and the seaside district of Marina Centro, also preserves buildings from the Baroque, the Neoclassical and Art Nouveau periods, with churches, palaces, hotels and mansions which reveal its role of cultural and trading centre and seaside resort.

The city centre has a Roman structure, partly modified by following medieval transformations. Urban evolution, through the renovation of the Malatesta, earthquakes and the suppressions of monasteries, has led to a stratification of historic sites and buildings. The bombings of World War II caused extensive destruction and damage, compromising the monumental heritage and the integrity of the city centre, which has been reconstructed and restored in order to valorize its historic places and buildings.

The city's park system includes a series of large urban parks, created along the former Marecchia and Ausa riverbeds, neighbourhood parks and gardens and tree-lined boulevards.

The main parks of the city are XXV Aprile Park, Giovanni Paolo II Park, Alcide Cervi Park, Fabbri Park, Ghirlandetta Park, Federico Fellini Park, Pertini Park in Marebello and Briolini Park in San Giuliano Mare. Every Saturday, XXV Aprile Park hosts one of the Italy's thirteen (as of 2022) parkruns.

In Rimini there are about 42,000 public trees, belonging to 190 different species, predominantly lime, planes, maples, poplars, pines and oaks.{{cite web|url= http://www.comune.rimini.it/binary/comune_rimini_arengo/news/CensimentoVerdePubblico.1268643245.pdf|title= Il censimento alberi e aree verdi del Comune di Rimini|page= 1|type= PDF|language= it|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150120185954/http://www.comune.rimini.it/binary/comune_rimini_arengo/news/CensimentoVerdePubblico.1268643245.pdf|archive-date= 20 January 2015}} 23 of these are old trees, protected as "monumental trees" for their age and their naturalistic value, such as the London plane of piazza Malatesta, the downy oak of Giovanni Paolo II Park, the cypresses of Sant'Agostino, the elm of Viale Vespucci and the lime trees of San Fortunato.{{cite web|url= http://www.gevrimini.it/drupal/sites/default/files/Alberi_monumentali.pdf|title = Alberi monumentali e di pregio del Comune di Rimini| page=2| type = PDF|language= it}}

The city's cycling network is articulated inside the main parks and boulevards, linking the most important monuments, tourist attractions, beaches, meeting places, offering various opportunities to different use categories, including urban travels, mountain bike and cyclotourism.

The urban cycling network is connected, through XXV Aprile Park, to the cycle route which links Rimini and Saiano, along the river Marecchia.

Rimini is an important road and railway junction due to its geographic position at the southern tip of the Po Valley, where Adriatic coastal routes meet those extending northwest along the plains.

Rimini is the terminus of three ancient Roman roads: the Via Flaminia, which runs southeast along the Adriatic Sea, turning at {{Lang|la|Fanum Fortunae}} (Fano) to finish in {{Lang|la|Roma}} (Rome); the Via Aemilia, which runs northwest to reach {{Lang|la|Placentia}} (Piacenza); and the Via Popilia, which runs north along the Adriatic Sea to reach {{Lang|la|Atria}} (Adria), where it joined the Via Annia. Modern state roads replicate these roads:

• The {{Interlanguage link|Strada statale 9 Via Emilia|lt=SS9|it|Strada statale 9 Via Emilia}} state road runs from Rimini to San Donato Milanese, replicating the Via Aemilia.
• The {{Interlanguage link|SS16|it|Strada statale 16 Adriatica}} state road runs along the Adriatic Sea from Padua to Otranto, replicating the Via Popilia and the coastal section of the Via Flaminia. Bulging inland, the SS16 constitutes Rimini's bypass road.{{Cite web |title=City map |url=https://riminiturismo.it/sites/riminiturismo/files/cartina_rimini_stradario.pdf |access-date=4 January 2024 |website=riminiturismo.it}}

• The SS72 state road connects Rimini to the border with the Republic of San Marino at Dogana, continuing in Sammarinese territory as the San Marino Highway up to Borgo Maggiore, from which the San Marino cablecar system connects with the City of San Marino.
• The {{Interlanguage link|Strada statale 258 Marecchia|lt=SS258|it|Strada statale 258 Marecchia}} state road connects Rimini to Sansepolcro, in Tuscany, through the valley of the Marecchia.

Rimini has two exits on the A14: Rimini North, in the locality of San Vito, and Rimini Sud, nearer the city centre, close to where the SS72 meets the SS16.
