Marina Centro
Classic seafront, beach clubs, grand hotels

Rimini stands as one of Europe’s premier seaside resorts, sprawling along the Adriatic coast at the southern tip of the Po Valley. Renowned as the birthplace of filmmaker Federico Fellini, the city seamlessly blends ancient Roman heritage, including the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge, with Renaissance splendor like the Tempio Malatestiano. Historically significant for its role in Italian unification and WWII resistance, Rimini has evolved into a major hub for both tourism and business, hosting large-scale trade fairs at the Rimini Fiera. With a rich history of beach culture dating back to 1843, it offers a vibrant atmosphere for travelers seeking cultural depth alongside coastal relaxation.

Rimini Federico Fellini Airport is about 5 km southeast of the centre. The simplest public option is Start Romagna bus 9 to Rimini railway station/centre, roughly 25-35 minutes depending on traffic. Metromare also serves Miramare Airport, but the stop is not at the terminal; allow a walk or shuttle connection plus about 15-20 minutes to Rimini Station. Taxi is usually about 10-15 minutes. Many international visitors also use Bologna Airport: take Marconi Express to Bologna Centrale, then a train to Rimini; total is commonly about 1.5-2 hours with connection time.

Rimini has no metro. Use Start Romagna buses and the Metromare trolleybus rapid-transit line, which links Rimini Station with Riccione along the coast in about 23 minutes; route 11 is slower but runs closer to the seafront. For most visitors, get Start Romagna urban/day tickets via app, ticket offices, tabacchi or machines; use Rail SmartPass only if you plan regional train plus bus travel around Romagna. Validate tickets and check summer timetables, as beach-area frequency and late services can change seasonally.
As of 2026-06-20 — confirm current schedules/fares with the operator.
Prioritize hotels along the Lungomare for direct beach access and sea views. The Centro Storico (Old Town) is ideal for exploring Roman ruins and Renaissance architecture, offering a historic ambiance with convenient amenities.
The airport is close to the city center, accessible via taxi or bus. Most key attractions are concentrated along the coast and in the old town, making them easily walkable. Local public transport connects outlying areas efficiently.
Summer is peak season for beach activities with pleasant weather. Spring and autumn offer fewer crowds, making them perfect for cultural exploration, visiting historical sites, and attending conferences at the Rimini Fiera.

This restaurant boasts an impressive setting on the end of a jetty surrounded by the sea in Rimini docks. The entrance stands next to the open-view kitchen (a spectacle in itself!), which then leads into the long dining room. Nearly all the fish here (which comes from the Adriatic) is aged to allow water to evaporate so that the flavours are concentrated; it is then grilled or baked in a wood-fired oven, as well as served raw, with surprising and remarkable results.
WebsiteFrom the outside, it recalls an elegant bathing establishment overlooking a blue expanse that seems to know no bounds; once across the threshold, the interiors reveal a whispered, unexpected elegance. Now in its third generation – since the grandfather opened the first establishment in 1946 – Guido is a meeting place for seafood cuisine which, although it begins with apparently simple dishes, reveals nuances of refined elegance and subtle technique. The ingredients are those most typical of the upper Adriatic, woven into recipes that have nourished family memory and are reinterpreted with pers
WebsiteIn the characteristic Borgo San Giuliano so dear to Federico Fellini, with its narrow streets and colourful houses that were once home to the local fishermen, this excellent osteria celebrates the most typical Romagna cuisine, including the finest charcuterie, fresh homemade pasta (the traditional cappelletti in chicken broth are excellent) and meats, including Mora Romagnola pork, which is used in a variety of dishes. Inside, you'll find a setting that you would traditionally associate with a trattoria, complete with check cotton tablecloths and bottles on display.
WebsiteJust a short stroll from the Arch of Augustus, Dallo Zio is a restaurant that manages to be appealing without becoming luxurious, with a convivial and pleasantly informal atmosphere. The cuisine follows the same spirit: traditional recipes, generally not overly elaborate and largely seafood-based, with cooking methods that respect the catch, whether grilled over embers or baked, alongside the ever-tempting fried specialities.
WebsiteElegant and refined, the modern atmosphere of this dining room plays host to a cuisine of both land and sea at an excellent level. The dishes draw their inspiration from the most celebrated gastronomic traditions, with occasional forays into more creative territory. The desserts are not to be missed! A quite different formula prevails at lunch, when a buffet is laid out (Sunday excepted).

WebsiteSituated within the San Patrignano community, which grows its own crops, raises its own livestock and makes its own cheeses, Vite is now the setting for new, talented chef Giuseppe Biuso’s cuisine, which is made from top-quality ingredients using modern, creative techniques. His Mediterranean dishes are also inspired by his native Sicily, and include several vegetarian specialities. In summer, don’t miss the outdoor dining space which offers fine views of the surrounding countryside.
