    Get around

    [edit]

    By car

    [edit]

    For getting outside the center, for instance to Perticara, the easiest way is by car.

    It is important to accept that Italians drive in a very pragmatic way when the traffic is intense. Taking turns and letting people go in front of you is rare. There is little patience so if the light is green when you go into the intersection and you are too slow they will let you know. A green light turning to amber is a reason to accelerate, not brake, in part because the lights usually stay amber for several seconds. If you brake immediately when the light changes you are likely to get rear-ended.

    On foot

    [edit]

    The city is small enough to be walked.

    Public transport

    [edit]

    There are buses connecting to Rimini, Pennabilli and Sant'Agata Feltria.

    [edit]

    Pizza

    [edit]

    Most pizza restaurants serve it only in the evening.

    Pizza al Taglio is pizza with a thicker crust, cooked in a large pan. This is served by the piece, usually to take away, and is a good cheap way to get something to fill you up. Point to the one you want, indicate if you want more or less than your server is indicating with the knife. It's sold by weight (the listed price is usually per 100 g, known as an etto, short for ettogrammo, i.e. hectogramm). This kind of pizza is eaten with the slices stacked on top of each other like a sandwich.

    Ice cream

    [edit]

    Look for a gelateria. You will be asked "Panna?" when it's almost made - this is the offer of whipped cream on top. If you've already paid, this is free.

    There are a few signs to keep in mind: "Produzione Propria" (homemade - our own production), "Nostra Produzione" (our production), "Produzione Artigianale" (production by craftsmen). If the colors seem dull and almost ugly it is probably natural, the bright colors being just a mix. Keep in mind, Italians usually won't queue, but if they are in line for gelato, get in line yourself: you may have hit the jackpot.
