Welcome to Rimini, a city rich in history, culture and entertainment!
If you are planning your stay at the bamby hotel, you will be happy to discover that a number of extraordinary attractions are located within walking distance of us and can be reached on foot. Whether you're an art lover, a nature enthusiast or eager to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of the city, there's something for everyone near our welcoming hotel.
Federico Fellini Park
Federico Fellini Park, a green oasis located just steps from the beach, offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Rimini. Divided into large portions by the spacious pedestrian streets that cross it, this park is a place loved by residents and visitors, rich in history and natural beauty.
In the center of the park, you will find the majestic Fountain of the Four Horses, an iconic symbol of the city. Built in 1928 and later demolished in the 1950s, this fountain was rebuilt and relocated in 1983, keeping its original beauty intact. Surrounded by a variety of trees and shrubs, this fountain is a must-see during a walk in the park.
Federico Fellini Park is also known for its rich diversity of woody species. From majestic pines and live oaks to elegant shrubs and rustic bamboo, the park offers a beautiful natural setting for a relaxing stroll or family picnic. Among the species present, red oaks stand out for their grandeur and beauty, adding a touch of majesty to the landscape.
Next to the park stands the famous Grand Hotel Rimini, an icon of luxury and refinement. Designed by the South American architect Paolo Somazzi and inaugurated in July 1908, this magnificent building has suffered various disastrous events over the years, including fires and damage caused by war. However, thanks to major restorations in the 1950s, the hotel has kept its soul and charm intact, continuing to be one of the most prestigious destinations in Rimini.
Fountain of the 4 horses
The Fountain of the 4 Horses, located in the peaceful Federico Fellini Park, represents an iconic symbol of the Rimini coast. Sculpted by the talented Rimini artist Filogenio Fabbri, this fountain was inaugurated on 29 June 1928 and continues to enchant visitors with its timeless beauty.
Despite historical vicissitudes, the Horse Fountain has resisted the passage of time. After the tragic period of the war, in 1945, it was necessary to temporarily remove it, and in September 1954 the main tank was demolished. However, thanks to the efforts of Umberto Bartolani and Fausta Fabbri, the seahorses were saved and temporarily relocated to various locations, until they were restored and relocated to their original location in 1983.
The fountain has a circular main basin that symbolizes the sea, surmounted by four majestic sea horses. These magnificent creatures, with water flowing from their nostrils, gracefully support another collection tank, from which a central jet rises, creating an evocative and fascinating spectacle.
On the base of the fountain, a commemorative plaque from 1987 recalls Ugo Stentori's contribution to the successful restoration of the fountain and the main basin, testifying to the historical and artistic importance of this jewel of Rimini.
Grand Hotel
The Grand Hotel in Rimini, an architectural masterpiece designed by the Uruguayan architect Paolo Somazzi and inaugurated on 1 July 1908, occupies a prestigious place in the history of the Romagna Riviera. Its imposing structure, originally intact, suffered its first signs of aging in the summer of 1920, when a devastating fire forced the permanent removal of the two domes that adorned its roof.
However, the real tests for the Grand Hotel came during the dark years of World War II. The war events left the structure seriously damaged, requiring extensive restoration work in the 1950s. Despite the need for such a radical intervention, the essence and prestige of the Grand Hotel remained intact, cementing its reputation as one of the most exclusive hotel destinations in the area.
But it was the connection with one of Rimini's cultural icons that propelled the Grand Hotel to global fame. Federico Fellini, famous director born in the city in 1920, was fascinated since childhood by the majesty of the hotel and its evocative atmosphere. This love was clearly reflected in his cinematic masterpiece "Amarcord" from 1973, in which the silhouette of the Grand Hotel played a leading role, becoming the backdrop for iconic scenes that contributed to shaping the collective imagination linked to Rimini and its illustrious hotel.
Today, the Grand Hotel in Rimini continues to embody elegance and luxury, attracting guests from all over the world eager to immerse themselves in its history and timeless charm.

Port Canal and lighthouse
The lighthouse and the ancient canal port of Rimini represent the beating heart of the life of the Rimini navy, telling ancient stories of sailors and fishermen who sailed the waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Located on Largo Boscovich, the port square houses the majestic eighteenth-century lighthouse, an imposing symbol of the local navy. Over 27 meters high, the lighthouse dominates the port-canal, once the mouth of the Marecchia river, diverted further north in 1972. Illuminating the surrounding waters with a light range of 15 nautical miles, the lighthouse offers a spectacular view of the coast Adriatic. Its rotating optics, activated way back in 1862, are set in a quadrangular white tower on a truncated pyramid base, culminating with an evocative panoramic terrace.
The Lighthouse and Maritime Signaling Service is entrusted to the Venice Lighthouse Area Command, guaranteeing the correct functioning and safety of navigation in this important maritime area.
Although the lighthouse is generally open to the public only on special occasions such as Sea Day, April 11, or during organized guided tours (for information: 0541.53399), the port square, known as the "palata", is always crowded of people looking for a pleasant walk along the quays.
It is here that Federico Fellini imagined the nocturnal appearance of the legendary ocean liner Rex, making the port a place full of charm and mystery.
On the other side of the canal port, on San Giuliano Mare, extends the new Marina di Rimini dock, a modern refuge for boats and yachtsmen in search of maritime adventures.
The extension of the piers, begun in the eighteenth century, contributed to the expansion of the beach, offering inhabitants and visitors large, open spaces where they can enjoy the charm of the Adriatic Sea.
At the tip of the Levante pier, stands the statue known as the "Sailor's Bride", created by the sculptor Umberto Corsucci. This work commemorates the women who, on the docks of the port, anxiously awaited the return of their loved ones from the sea, paying homage to the fishermen who never returned.
Ferris wheel
The Rimini Ferris Wheel, an iconic attraction of the city during the summer season, offers an unforgettable experience similar to that offered by its counterpart in London.
Every summer, the large Ferris wheel returns to Rimini, positioning itself a short distance from the sea, giving visitors the opportunity to leave for a unique aerial journey, with an incomparable view of the city, the sea, the hinterland and the entire riviera, from its imposing 55 meters of height.
Equipped with 28 closed or semi-closed cabins, depending on the weather conditions, the Ferris Wheel offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama, allowing guests to admire the coast from north to south, from the Lidi Ferraresi to Gabicce, and to enjoy the beauty of the hinterland and the Adriatic Sea.
This fascinating attraction usually opens to the public over the Easter weekend and runs until mid-September, welcoming up to 1600 people a day for an exciting 4-6 minute tour. Furthermore, thanks to its new cutting-edge technology, the Rimini Ferris Wheel ranks among the most innovative in Europe, ensuring a safe and memorable experience for all its visitors.

Founded in Roman times, this district contains a myriad of monuments, churches, works of art and museums, transforming Rimini into a true artistic oasis in Emilia Romagna.

Continuing along the street, you come across the suggestive Piazza Cavour, characterized by the famous Pigna Fountain, praised even by Leonardo da Vinci.

The Surgeon's Domus and City Museum
In a privileged position, a few steps from the vibrant Piazza Cavour, stands a one-of-a-kind historical treasure: the Surgeon's Domus. This ancient Roman residence from the 2nd century, located in Piazza Ferrari, reveals the charm of ancient Roman civilization alongside traces of an early medieval settlement and a vast burial ground below.

Malatesta Temple
The Tempio Malatestiano, today the cathedral of Rimini, is a magnificent testimony to Renaissance art and architecture. Commissioned by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta in 1450 as a symbol of his greatness and dedication to the city, the cathedral is a majestic work that also celebrates the love between Sigismondo and Isotta degli Atti. The external architecture, the work of the genius of Leon Battista Alberti, enchants with its magnificence, while inside you can admire works of art by renowned artists such as Matteo de' Pasti and Agostino di Duccio. Among the many wonders, a crucifix painted by Giotto in 1312 and a fresco by Piero della Francesca, which portrays Sigismondo kneeling at the feet of San Sigismondo, stand out.
Galli Theatre
The Amintore Galli Theatre, known until 1947 as the Vittorio Emanuele II Theatre, represents the cultural hub of Rimini.
Inaugurated way back in 1857 and designed by the Italian architect Luigi Poletti, this prestigious theater suffered serious damage during the Allied bombings in December 1943. The subsequent looting and demolitions after the war spared only the façade and part of the foyer, leaving the theater in one been abandoned for many years.
After a long and troubled history, characterized by reconstruction attempts, structural modifications and alternative uses, the real reconstruction work finally began in 2014 and concluded in October 2018. During this massive restoration, a surprising discovery emerged: the remains of an early Christian basilica, now included in the archaeological museum located under the theatre.
Together with the Galli Multimediale, an innovative museum project financed mainly by the Emilia-Romagna Region, the theater now offers a section dedicated to one of the greatest composers of the past, Giuseppe Verdi. This hybrid structure, which combines history, archeology and musical culture, represents excellence in the regional cultural panorama, contributing to the enhancement of Rimini's artistic and historical heritage.
Fellini Museum
A journey into the culture and imagination of one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema, Federico Fellini, finds its maximum expression in the Fellini Museum. Spread between Castel Sismondo, the Fulgor cinema palace and Piazza Malatesta, this museum celebrates Fellini's legacy through an extraordinary collection of films, documentaries, interviews, screenplays, costumes and props. The sixteen rooms of the Renaissance Castel Sismondo offer a complete immersion in the Fellini universe, while the Fulgor palace houses a precious collection of original posters and playbills. By joining the two buildings, Piazza Malatesta offers an evocative space for performances and artistic installations, completing the cultural experience offered by the museum.
