Excursions

The hotel is built in the very town of Rimini, where in our time there is a small river, the name of which is known all over the world: Rubicon. Yes, yes, the same Rubicon, which passed Guy Julius Caesar. Here, in Rimini, rises the oldest of the ancient arches - the Arch of Augustus, and next to it - a very symbolic structure - the two thousand-year-old bridge of Tiberius, continuously maintained until our time.

Shopping

Some of the guests of Donau Marina Centro 3 * traditionally go to Rimini just because of shopping. Therefore, we will cover this aspect in more detail. After all, this city is considered in Italy as the informal capital of budget fashion, a place where relatively inexpensive but spectacular purchases are made. It is here that the stuffy "shuttle traders" fill their trunks.

Where to begin? First, accept as an axiom: experienced buyers purchase products of light industry in Italy, not in markets and stores, but directly in the factories that produce them. At the same time, for example, buying a pair of shoes in a warehouse can save up to 150 € compared to buying it in a corporate store.

What do guests in their reviews recommend? Let's start with the purchase of fur coats. In Rimini there are two factories: Unifur (which produces more budget products) and Brashi. Accordingly, buying is more profitable in the warehouses of these companies.

Italy is traditionally famous for its footwear. Among the top shoe stores in Rimini, we will mention the following: Nando, Prada, Fiorangelo, Muzi Moschino. Fashion designers, of course, will be interested in the Casadey store in the suburb of Corso D'Augusto, where they sell branded shoes with a high heel.

It's simpler in Rimini to buy a good wine. In Italy, winemakers, as a rule, specialize in a certain kind of this sparkling drink. However, based on the experience of seasoned tourists, we will tell you what content of the bottle should be expected from this or that brand:

• Abboccato is a semi-dry wine;
• Amablie - semi-sweet wine;
• Secco - dry wine;
• Dolce is sweet.

Of course, it is worth buying a famous Italian pasta. Many locals prefer similar products from the company with the Barilla brand. Obviously, for tourists it makes sense to follow their example. Those who are going to buy souvenirs for friends-fans can be recommended to buy T-shirts, badges, baseball caps of the famous football clubs "Milan", "Juventus", "Inter", paying only 5 € for them.

Conclusion

The small hotel Donau Marina Centro 3 *, located in Rimini, deservedly is popular with Russian-speaking tourists.

Therefore, to buy tours in it is quite difficult: first, among the guests there are regulars; And secondly, they are bought as hot pies.

The advantages of this choice are obvious:

• Friendly staff and lack of a language barrier;
• A high-quality budget vacation with a home-like normal food;
• Wonderful beach holidays;
• Effective shopping;
