Hotel Lima in Lido di Savio

San Marino is an independent republic which lies near the Adriatic coast in central Italy, between the borders of Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. Despite its Italian character, San Marino is very proud of its independent status, which brings in hundreds of tourists and tax-free shoppers every day.
Although the steep slopes, cliffs and castles of San Marino are impressive enough in themselves, what really takes your breath away is the view from the town. On a clear day you can see the Adriatic a few miles to the east, and in other directions the hilly land rises into central Italy. The most famous attractions of San Marino are its defensive towers. Two of these (the Rocca and the Torre Cesta) can be visited with a combined ticket and offer good chances to climb towers and explore ramparts. San Marino's fortifications were restored in the 1940s courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox, who used the republic as a film set for Prince of Foxes, starring Tyrone Power.There are various woodland routes marked out by signs, and if you have time it is worth wandering through the pretty woods, where the natural greenery is such a contrast to the busy streets nearby. For a good short stroll, just head along the main path which follows the clifftop. This leads to the third of San Marino's fortresses, a solitary tower called the Torre del Montale. The building isn't open to the public, but it is another great viewpoint and considerably less crowded. Along the way are various picnic spots and stone benches for a spot of peaceful contemplation. More colourful tourist appeal is to be had from the changing of the guard ceremony (at half-past every hour in the summer months) in Piazza della Libertà. San Marino's principal museum is the State Museum (Museo di Stato), which contains historical exhibits and artwork. There are also the museums of torture, waxworks, weaponry.

One of the most attractive cities in Romagna, it is famous for its beauty and for being the birthplace of more intellectuals and artists than any other town in the province, including internationally-famous poets and screenwriters past and present. Even a former Pope - Pope Clement XIV Ganganelli - was born here as some monuments dedicated to him recall. Art, culture, history and traditions are right at home; visitors can sense this in its narrow streets and squares and in the numerous events that mark the seasons and have become a great attraction for tourists. Its historical centre is more alive than ever, thanks also to careful reconstruction work that has taken care to maintain the vestiges of the past. Despite having over 20,000 inhabitants, it still retains a village atmosphere that focuses heavily on hospitality and where there is a strong cultural identity.
Since 1971 in July Santarcangelo hosts one of the most important international festivals of theatre in Italy "Festival Internazionale del Teatro in Piazza" (international festival of theatre, music and street preformances). The"Fiera di San Martino" ( November, the 11th) is an ancient cattle fair. Nowadays it's an important event dedicated to commerce, popular culture and entertainment.
"Balconi Fioriti" (May) is a flower show with a specialized market of plants, flowers and handcrafts; during the event all citizens of this beautiful city will make every effort to decorate their balconies, the streets and every corner of the town with flowers and plants.
The "Fiera di San Michele" (September, the 29th) is a traditional birds fair, dedicated to the environmental themes, animals, plants and natural food.
In Santarcangelo, since the '90, live the biggest and most active mutoid community of Europe.

Located at the heart of Romagna, along the slopes of the hills of the Forlì Apennines, just a few kilometres from Via Emilia, 15 km from Forlì and 13 km from Cesena, Bertinoro overlooks a fascinating landscape, where the view goes as far as to the sea.
Besides its hospitality and the wonderful bird’s eye view you can enjoy from the main square Piazza della Libertà – it is not by chance that it was called “Balcony of Romagna” –, Bertinoro is a typical example of Medieval citadel, featuring walls, towers and old houses, also known as the “Town of Wine”. The legend says that Galla Placidia, daughter of the Roman Emperor Theodosius, passed by and tasted a wine served in a poor cup, and she said "non di così rozzo calice sei degno, o vino, ma di berti in oro" (You should not drink this wine in such a poor cup.Rather it should be drunk in a gold goblet). This is where the name of the town comes from. From the top of Mount Cesubeo, a millenary fortress towers over the citadel. It dates to a time before the 10th century and was the residence of Emperor Federico Barbarossa in 1177, and his court and militia, and then the bishop’s seat since 1584. Today, the defensive structure still preserves its medieval appearance. Inside the Fortress, there are the offices and apartments of the old bishop’s seat, a large balcony looking at the village and an impressive 17th-century hall decorated with Baroque frescoes. Today the Fortress is home to the University Residential Centre of Bertinoro of Alma Mater Studiorum of Bologna and the Interreligious Museum. Recently founded by the Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro, the Museum investigates the common aspects of the three monotheist religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The medieval village of Bertinoro is also considered the “Town of hospitality” because of the presence of the Column of twelve rings, each ring corresponding to one of the twelve families of the town; a stranger who arrived and tied up his horse to one of the rings was the guest of the family to whom the ring belonged. The tradition is repeated every year on the first Sunday of September.

This exciting interactive journey featuring plenty of tricks and special effects leads visitors through four moments of the life on Earth and the Universe: the Big Bang, the origins of life, the disappearance of the dinosaurs and the last glacial period.
Oltremare also hosts Adventure Island, a special playground area which gathers ropes, climbing poles and suspension bridges, and is crossed by enchanting paths to be covered onboard special boats provided with water cannons. Adventure Island is able to suit even the most demanding requirements of both children and their parents. Other areas worthy of mention are the so-called Delta and Darwin, which recreate the natural environments of the Po Delta and the Jurassic period respectively. Darwin is a big glass and steel dome which gathers outstanding reproductions of dinosaurs, alligators, flowers and giant trees.

Children will have the opportunity to visit the Fattoria (Farm) and Mulino del Gufo (Owl's Mill): the former gathers the most popular courtyard animals, while the latter is populated by big birds of prey.
Last but not least is IMAX, the historical 3D cinema which is the symbol of the park. IMAX gives people the possibility to enjoy thrilling emotions while watching incredible 3D movies.
