Buy the Rimini PassDoes the Rimini Pass pay off?
The Rimini Pass is a well-designed product that saves money compared to buying individual tickets. According to the Tourist Office, which is the company promoting this pass, you can spend up to 50 percent less.
Entrances to the included museums and attractions are not particularly expensive, averaging between €6 and €10 each. Let's say that by visiting three, plus the value for transportation, we have already paid back the cost of the 3- or 7-day pass.
The purchase of the 24-hour pass should be given a little more thought. In such a short time you will not always be able to visit much. It is therefore good to do some extra math to assess whether it actually pays off for the itinerary you have in mind.
However, consider that it is 24 actual hours, so visits can be divided into 2 days, depending on the time it is activated.
The attractions included for free must all be booked in advance. This limits a bit in terms of flexibility and freedom to visit, but it gives you direct, line-free access. During peak season, perhaps on a bad weather day when so many take refuge in museums, this is a plus not to be underestimated.
In conclusion, it is the ideal pass for those who intend to discover the history and other fascinating wonders of Rimini and its hinterland. A great idea to enrich a beach vacation, or to occupy rainy or cloudy days in the best way.
