💡 Tips

  • Use the Metromare rapid transit bus between Rimini and Riccione to avoid heavy summer traffic and parking fees.
  • Experience the true 'passeggiata' on Viale Ceccarini in the late evening, or come early morning for a quiet stroll without the crowds.
  • Free public beach sections are limited (e.g., near Piazzale San Martino); otherwise, reserve your sunbed well in advance during high season.
  • Buy combined tickets online for Aquafan and Oltremare water parks to skip the queues and save money.
