What to do in bellaria when it’s rainy?

FROM THE RAVENNA MOSAICS TO FELLINI

It’s rainy and you wonder what to do in Bellaria? Our territory offers plenty of attractions. The most ancient maritime towns are Rimini and Ravenna, already inhabited well before the Romans conquered the region. The arch of August and the bridge of Tiberius are still the icons of Rimini, the Domus of the Surgeon well deserves a visit; the beauty of the Ravenna mosaics has enchanted visitors of all times, and you can still admire them at the Tamo museum or at the Domus of the Stone Carpets. One of the most appreciated characters of Rimini is film director Federico Fellini, to whom the graffitis of Borgo San Giuliano are dedicated.

Maritime towns and baby museums

Cervia revolves around it Porto Canale, with a history connected to the harvest and conservation of salt. The harbor of Cesenatico was designed by Leonardo da Vinci, military engineer of Cesare Borgia. Today these two towns attract a lot of tourists, but still keep their ancient soul in the heart of the village. In Romagna there are plenty of museums suited for the smallest kids, among woods and castles. The fortress of Sant’Agata Feltria hosts items and characters of the most beloved fairy tales. At the castle of Riolo there is a museum dedicated to the Middle Ages: you can wield the knights’ weapons, admire their garments and explore the territory thanks to a special 3d viewer. The hydro-museum of Ridracoli is really unforgettable.

The Cervia saltflats

A few kilometers away from the center, the salt flats keep the most ancient village tradition. In the Camillone saline, salt is still harvested by hand; we suggest you an excursion on foot or by boat.
