Brisighella, just a few kilometers from Riolo Terme, is certainly more interesting and consequently more popular among tourists, although it is common secret among travelers that, when a place is over-rated as a tourist destination, it is already too late to visit it and to truly enjoy it. Of course one can visit these places off season trying to avoid festivals and various celebrations and thematic markets … Unless this is just what he is looking for;)

Riolo Terme
If you are in the surrounding area of Faenza, this is a place that deserves to be visited. Riolo Terme usually remains in the shadow of the most famous nearby Brisighella, maybe because it doesn’t have that much to offer to the tourists. Nevertheless it is a nice fortified village where you can spend a pleasant half-day, plus the fact that it is also an excellent choice and a quiet place to spend a night.
San Leo
According to the town’s tourist brochure (reproducing a quotation from Umberto Eco), this is the most beautiful city of the entire Italy! Who could resist the temptation of visiting this highly recommended place? It is located in a distance of 100 km from Rimini and although Eco’s praise is a bit overstated, San Leo once known as Montefeltro deserves at least a half-day visit. Besides it has in the past also been capital of Italy!
