Beyond its beaches, Rimini hides a rich Roman and Renaissance core that is enjoyable on a leash. The Roman Tiberius Bridge, the Renaissance Tempio Malatestiano and the colourful Borgo San Giuliano with its Fellini murals are all best explored outdoors on foot, which suits a dog perfectly. Most outdoor monuments and squares are freely accessible with a leashed dog; museum and church interiors generally admit only assistance dogs, so plan visits in pairs so one person can wait outside.

Ponte di Tiberio (Tiberius Bridge)

Borgo San Giuliano · Via Tiberio, 47921 Rimini

A Roman bridge of Istrian stone built between 14 and 21 AD, still in use after two millennia and part of the city's coat of arms. It links the historic centre to the Borgo San Giuliano across a tranquil mirror of water. Fully outdoors and dog-friendly on a leash.

🐾 Outdoors, leashed dogs welcome

💡 Walk the bridge into Borgo San Giuliano at golden hour; the water reflects the stone arches and the borgo is at its most photogenic.

Borgo San Giuliano

Borgo San Giuliano · Borgo San Giuliano, 47921 Rimini

The old fishermen's quarter just across the Tiberius Bridge, a maze of small pastel houses, narrow lanes and murals inspired by Federico Fellini's films, some dating from 1980. Entirely pedestrian and made for slow wandering with a dog. Lined with osterie and trattorias for a meal afterwards.

🐾 Pedestrian streets, leashed dogs welcome

💡 Go early or late to avoid the midday crowds and heat; the painted lanes are quietest and coolest then, ideal for a relaxed dog.

An early-Renaissance masterpiece designed by Leon Battista Alberti for Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, with a white marble facade modelled on a Roman triumphal arch. The exterior and the surrounding historic centre, including Piazza Cavour with its fountain and palazzi, make a fine leashed-dog stroll. Interior admits assistance dogs only.
