3 Piazza della Vecchia Pescheria and ‘piazzetta delle poveracce’

Once upon a time, it was the Old Fish Market, the Vecchia

Pescheria with benches in Istrian stone, and the memory of women

with headscarves that sold clams, or rather the ‘poveracce’ as they still

call them in Rimini.

In this corner of Rimini, the trendy place to hangout is within

its history: a kind of room that is almost completely covered and filled

with shops and the latest places to be. There are butchers,

delicatessens, bakers, spice shops, bookshops and antique shops, but

also restaurants and pubs, taverns and bars: from a cappuccino to

an aperitif to full blown lunch. You can eat, drink and chat,

surrounded by walls that makes antiquity seem even more friendly.
