Tourists keen on bike trips should know Rimini features 30 kilometers of cycle paths which link the sea to the city and which open, at the same time, pleasant itineraries through the green parks of the city. The following are but three suggested tours at hand for all those who want to explore the city by means of a delightful bike ride (the map of the 13 cycle paths in Rimini can be found at the IAT tourist information offices, which can be called at 0039 0541 51331):
1. One should start off in Piazzale Kennedy and cross the Renzi Madre Elisabetta Park and the Maria Callas Park. After cutting across Via Roma (which is the moment when one can turn right in order to visit the old ruins of the city, since the track passes by the Roman Amphitheater and an alley through the walls leads tourists to the center of the city, just a short distance from the dome), they should reach to the Cervi Park where the old ruins and the Augustus Arch can be admired. After crossing the park and reaching to Via della Fiera, one can enjoy the wonderful view yielded by the Mariotti Lake nearby Via Euterpe and they can take the opportunity of working out in open-air.
2. Tourists who prefer the suggestive view of the sea are advised to follow the track which starts off in the harbor and stretches on the seashore up to Miramare.
3. The walk through the “green lung” of Rimini (about 20 kilometers, recommended for mountain bikers) starts off in Rivabella. After crossing the wooden bridge, visitors will come across the XXV Aprilie Park (as the Marecchia Park is often referred to) which leads to the Tiberius Bridge. From here, one must follow the old crease of the Marecchia River until they reach to Villa Verucchio. This is a route offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy a splendid fluvial landscape.
