Italia in Miniatura, located in Viserba, a district of Rimini, Italy, is a delightful leisure and miniature park that offers visitors a unique experience. This park showcases 273 miniature replicas of famous Italian and European buildings, meticulously crafted to scale at either 1:25 or 1:50. The entire area is encompassed by the Arcobaleno, a monorail that provides a scenic view of the miniature wonders.

Incorporated into the park’s landscape are 10,000 plants and 5,000 miniature trees, creating a lush and picturesque environment. The water features within the park require a substantial 2,500 cubic meters of water to fill, and a network of 17 miniature trains adds to the charm of the park’s transportation system.

One of the highlights of Italia in Miniatura is a captivating replica of the Grand Canal of Venice, spread across a 12,000-square-meter area. This Venetian replica includes 119 buildings painstakingly recreated at a 1:5 scale, with the campanile on St. Mark’s Square soaring to a height of 20 meters.

For those seeking interactive entertainment, visitors can engage in medieval battles between the noble families of Montefeltro and Malatesta at the Cannonacqua area, featuring water cannons for added excitement. The park also offers attractions such as the log flume ride called Canoe, the parrot park Pappamondo, and the Luna Park della scienza, where children can partake in physical experiments.

Since 2011, Italia in Miniatura has introduced a project called YouMini, which miniaturizes park visitors to a scale of 1:33, allowing them to become part of the miniature world.

The park is open daily from March to September and is conveniently located right along Strada Statale Adriatica 16, approximately 5 kilometers north of the center of Rimini. It offers a fascinating and immersive experience, allowing visitors to explore Italy and Europe in miniature form.
