The experience

The walk starts at Rimini's Roman gate, the Porta Montanara, where the Via Flaminia once began its long road south to Rome. From there you move through the city's layered history: the two-thousand-year-old bridge that still carries foot traffic, the Renaissance palace that stands as one of Italy's most significant monuments from that era, and the medieval fortress that now houses the Fellini Museum. The pace is built for small groups, so the guide can stop and explain without losing anyone in the crowd.

The route takes in Piazza Cavour, the large square ringed by the Palazzo del Podestà and the Palazzo dell'Arengo, with the old fish market and its fountain. Then comes the Teatro Galli, the grand nineteenth-century theater that was destroyed in World War II bombing and restored to its original state in 2018. The walk ends at the cinema that inspired Fellini. You view it from outside, but the guide explains why it mattered to him and to the city's identity as a place that shaped Italian cinema itself.

All surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and the route works for any fitness level. The guide speaks English, Italian or German depending on which option you book. You pick the language when you reserve.
