🇮🇹 Rimini in Off-Season: A Serene Seaside Escape

Ah, my perfect travel rhythm—found at last in Rimini! ✨ If you crave slow mornings by the sea (and don’t mind skipping a swim), this coastal gem is pure magic in the quiet months. 🚂 Getting There & Around • From Florence: A scenic 4h train ride (under €30) dropped us off by 1 PM—leaving us 1.5 days to explore (with a half-day trip to San Marino!). • Pro tip: The San Marino bus (€12 round-trip) departs right outside Rimini Station—look for the big "Tabac" shop 🚬📍 (it’s the only ticket seller!). 🌅 Why Off-Season Rimini? • Empty beaches, sleepy cafés, and hotel deals! 🏖️☕ We scored a sea-view room for sunrise without even leaving bed 🌊🌤️. • October-November = no crowds, just crashing waves and daring seagulls (bring croissants to share! 🥐🐦). 🍝 Food Notes • Must-eat: Piadina (flatbread sandwiches) + seafood pasta 🍝🦐 • Watch for: Service charges (€1-3/person)—ironically, the €3-fee place had great service but meh food 😂. ⏳ Ideal Day Here Sunrise coffee in pajamas ☕🌅 Beach strolls (collect shells, ignore deadlines) 🐚💨 Downtown wandering (tiny but charming!) 🏰🛍️ More espresso, more sunbathing—repeat forever 🔄☀️ #Italy #Rimini #SanMarino #SlowTravel #SeasideBliss 🌊
