Discoteca Baia Imperiale

Rimini


With eight dance floors, evergreen Baia Imperiale is one of Europe's largest clubs, and 'smells of the echoes of Rimini's past' (as one local put it). Classic and kitsch, it's the kind of place you need to go once, but only once. It drips with marble staircases, pools, and assorted obelisks and statues of Roman emperors.
