Which is better rimini or riccione. Where is the best place to stay in Rimini? Unparalleled Italian cuisine

Rimini can be treated differently. Therefore, before talking about the choice of hotels, I will say a few words about whether it is worth going to Rimini at all or it is better to prefer some other resort, of which there are many on the Adriatic coast of Italy.

At least two factors play in favor of a holiday in Rimini. Firstly, this town boasts a developed tourist infrastructure. Here you will find well-equipped sandy beaches, many restaurants and cafes, clubs and other "party" establishments, a rather interesting historical city center and a railway station, the presence of which allows you to easily and naturally travel around the area (for more details about travel routes from Rimini, see). Secondly, Rimini is very democratic, and if your financial possibilities are not unlimited, and you want to visit Italy as you want, then you probably can’t imagine a better option (see Rimini hotel prices).

On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that the entrance to the sea here is quite gentle (to get to the depth, you need to walk 15–20 meters from the shore), and the bottom, as already noted above, is sandy. Therefore, near the shore, the water may seem cloudy (although this does not mean at all that it is dirty). In other words, the sea in Rimini is well suited for families with children, but if you want to take a step or two and head into the pool, then this is not the place. You should not go to Rimini and for a secluded vacation. This place is quite popular - from June to September (especially in July and August) Rimini is crowded and noisy. In other words, Rimini is quite suitable for relaxing in the format “sunbathe on the beach - travel around Italy” or in the format “daytime to the beach - night to the club”, but it is hardly worth going here for the sake of a sedate respectable holiday (although, of course, quite respectable hotels in Rimini are available). In addition, speaking about democratic prices in relation to hotels, you need to understand that Rimini is not a new resort, and many of the local hotels are characterized by worn-out equipment and dilapidated interiors (however, this does not mean at all that there are no good modern hotels in Rimini). Finally, one cannot fail to say that Rimini is the most “package” destination, and therefore, when planning an independent trip, one should not only think about why to go to Rimini, but also be puzzled by the issue of costs. It is likely that buying a tour will be much cheaper than organizing everything yourself. Thus, before you start searching and booking hotels, air tickets, etc., you should look at the sites of online travel agencies (for example, on or).

What is the best area to stay in Rimini?

In Rimini, you can distinguish the central part and everything that is outside it. In turn, the central part of the city can be divided into the Old Town, where the main historical sights are concentrated, and the resort center, where, in addition to the sea and the beach, there are many entertainment and entertainment venues. Outside the center there are such areas as Viserba, Viserbella, Miramare, etc. As a matter of fact, I will tell you more about the districts of Rimini. As for hotels, I will mention some interesting options below as an example, while a complete list of Rimini hotels with the ability to compare prices from booking sites can be found.

Hotels in the center of Rimini

The vast majority of hotels located in the center of Rimini gravitate towards the sea. The resort part of the city center is called Marina Centro(Marina Centro). It is here that the Grand Hotel di Rimini, famous for Federico Fellini, is located. If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of luxury, then this is a good (and, of course, very, very expensive) option. Only when booking a room, you should make sure that it is located in the main building, and not in an additional building called Residenza Grand Hotel (or Residenza Parco Fellini). However, if you are only interested in five-star hotels and you do not agree to anything less, then pay attention also to the i-Suite Hotel designed in a modern style. For my taste, it is at least as good as the Grand Hotel.

In general, hotels in the central part of Rimini do not indulge in low prices. However, on average, prices are much lower than in the two above-mentioned hotels. In other words, there is plenty to choose from, even if your budget is tight. Interesting, in my opinion, options in terms of price / quality ratio are Aqua Hotel, Erbavoglio Hotel, Hotel De Londres and a couple of Mercure hotels - Rimini Lungomare and Rimini Artis. There are cheaper hotels. For example, Hotel Alibi and Hotel Sorriso. Separately, I note Suite Hotel Parioli, where in addition to standard rooms for quite reasonable money, apartments with a kitchen are offered. Thus, if desired (or if necessary), you can cook here yourself.

The advantages of accommodation in the center of Rimini are obvious. Beach and sea nearby. Cafes, bars, restaurants and discos nearby. There is also a dolphinarium here. All kinds of street performances, open-air concerts and other events are organized almost daily. The Old Town and its sights can be reached on foot in 15–20 minutes, and the railway station is even closer.

The flip side of all this abundance is the crowds and noise. The disadvantages include the fact that in the center of Rimini there is not a single hotel that could boast direct access to the sea - all of them are at best across the road from the beach. Therefore, if you are interested in hotels located right on the coast, you should pay attention to other areas of the city (for example, in the Rivabella area there is Hotel Imperial Beach) or even to the neighboring resort town of Riccione (see, in particular, Hotel Fedora Riccione and Hotel Adlon) . In addition, the beaches in the center of Rimini are a significant expense, since beach equipment (chaise lounges, umbrellas, showers, etc.) costs money, unless, of course, the use of a particular beach is not included in the price of a hotel stay. There are also unequipped ("wild") sections of the beach in the center, but there are not many of them. If you are interested in Marina Centro, but at the same time you want to reduce costs as much as possible, it makes sense to focus on the northern part of the beach - closer to the port - where you can sit comfortably on the beach towels you brought with you and not spend money on renting sun loungers and umbrellas. By the way, the proximity of the port does not interfere with swimming and sunbathing. Of the hotels listed above, the Grand Hotel is closest to this location. But there are more or less budget options nearby. For example, Esedra Hotel.

Concluding the review of the center of Rimini, I will add a few words about old town . It is located on the other side of the railway tracks, which serve as a dividing line between the historical and resort parts of the city. By the way, if you arrive in Rimini by train, please note that the exit from the railway station faces the Old Town, and to get to the resort part of Rimini you will have to make a detour, or resort to public transport or taxi services. As for the Old Town, there are not many hotels here, and there is no particular point in staying in this part of the city. It is worth taking a closer look at the hotels located here, unless you are primarily interested in Rimini as a resort, but as a convenient starting point for trips to the surrounding area. So, next to the station there are hotels Hotel Moderno and Hotel Napoleon. Away from the station and, accordingly, closer to the historical sights of the city, there are Card International Hotel, Hotel Giulio Cesare and DuoMo Hotel.

Hotels outside the center of Rimini

Of course, in the center of Rimini, the light did not converge like a wedge. Other areas of the city are also interesting in their own way. Firstly, hotels in them are cheaper than in the center. Secondly, free sections of the beach are more common. Thirdly, outside the center, as a rule, it is calmer and quieter. Finally, almost every district has its points of attraction. Particularly from the regions Rivazzurra(Rivazzurra) And Miramare(Miramare) within easy reach of the amusement park Fiabilandia, and from the districts Viserba(Viserba) And Witherbella(Viserbella) close to the park "Italia in miniature" (Italia in miniature). At the same time, it makes little sense to talk about each of these regions separately. It is important to understand here that it is quite easy to get to any of them: the public transport network in Rimini is well developed, buses run regularly (there is even a night route), and some areas also have their own railway stations. I also note that many hotels located at a distance from the city center provide free parking spaces, which will serve as an additional advantage for car travelers. In general, if for some reason you do not want to live in the center of Rimini, then it is quite possible to focus on hotels in any other area.

Therefore, travelers who are going to relax in Italian seaside resorts are trying to study the issue well. Where is the best place to relax, in or, are there any common features and how these beautiful cities differ?

Rimini has long been heard by beach lovers, who adore many kilometers of sandy beaches and an additional opportunity to completely update their wardrobe for the new season. Riccione also has a lot of boutiques and shops, the city, although smaller in size, managed to get the beautiful title of the “social salon of the Adriatic Riviera”, where there are entertainment and attractions for both adult tourists and their young heirs.

Rimini or Riccione - land of beach and sun

Both Italian resorts are ready to showcase the best beaches for guests from abroad. No one is surprised that the coastline in Rimini is called very simply - La Marina ("by the sea"), another pleases - the length of local beaches is 15 kilometers. This means that any traveler who has reached the Adriatic Riviera will find a place under the sun (both literally and figuratively). Most of the beaches are paid, if you try, you can find a corner on the coast for which you do not need to pay hard-earned money. The infrastructure is developed, there are food establishments, restaurants, bars and cafes, souvenir shops, attractions.

Riccione is in no way inferior to its "big brother" in terms of beaches, the territories on the coast are quite wide, clean and equipped. The beaches in this region are sandy, the descent into the water is gentle, you can relax until the end of September, and not only sunbathe and swim. On the beaches of Riccione there are bars and restaurants, sports games, marine activities and even swimming pools.

Unparalleled Italian cuisine

Rimini belongs to the Italian region, which is well known outside the country as a major gastronomic center. It was here that, as a result of the efforts of chefs and culinary specialists, the famous parmesan, balsamic vinegar and Parma ham were born, and the mortadella sausage first appeared.

It is not clear why, but in Rimini you can find restaurants that offer dishes from other countries of the world, including Russian, Japanese and Indian. It is possible that such establishments are intended for tourists, patriots of the national cuisine, or nostalgic for their homeland.

Riccione has a huge number of restaurants of national cuisine, from chic, fashionable ones with the same exorbitant prices to quite affordable taverns with delicious, almost homemade food.

Italian entertainment and attractions

Rimini has its own unique architectural masterpieces, for example, the Arc de Triomphe, today considered one of the most ancient, it was built in the 27th century BC and restored in the 18th century. From other monuments of architecture, the guests note the following objects: the bridge of Tiberius, named after the emperor who completed its construction; Sismondo Castle, Renaissance masterpiece; the building of the local Municipality built in 1204; the historic Dali Theatre, representative of the neoclassical style.

The maritime cultural and historical sites of Rimini deserve a special excursion, including the fisherman's market, the sea pier, the fisherman's house, the facades of which are richly decorated with shells, and the lighthouse of the 18th century.

Riccione has preserved ancient architecture, but it is not the focus of attention of tourists vacationing here. The main place in this resort is occupied by "Miribilandia" - a theme park. In terms of the size of the occupied area, it has the third position among similar entertainment establishments. This park features 7 themed areas, many rides, cinemas and even a Ferris wheel, listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Also, this resort will delight you with a chic water park, which is located right by the sea. Parents will especially appreciate it because experienced nannies will look after the children while adults have fun on extreme slides and rides. Another amazing place is "Italy in Miniature", in this theme park you can get acquainted with the most famous Italian sights.

A comparison of the most famous seaside resorts in Italy did not reveal a leader; you can have a chic rest in both cities.

Therefore, Rimini for a summer vacation is suitable for Russians and other foreign guests who:

• dream of being in the center of events;
• are going to combine leisure and shopping;
• love sandy beaches;
• they love to wander for hours among historical monuments, enjoying magnificent views.

Riccione resorts should be visited by travelers who:

• want to spend their holidays at the highest level;
• love theme parks and water rides;
• like to spend time actively on the beach;
• not very fond of walking around historical sights.

Spacious, well-equipped beaches, boutiques, clubs, water parks, discos on the hills, a secular beach at the mouth of Marano attract many young people who appreciate a fun party.

Rimini

For 160 years now, Rimini has enjoyed well-deserved recognition among lovers of holidays by the sea. Its secret is in the cordiality of the locals, the hospitality of the hotels and 15 kilometers of beaches (230 resort towns, 1200 hotels, many amusement parks), but that's not all: Rimini is a city with a 2000-year history that has preserved many works of art.

The sea here is more than a way of life, it is Fellini's films come to life, the myth of summer life, updated annually, it is the magic of winter fogs...

But, above all, Rimini is a crossroads of cultural traditions, the noble capital of the Signoria Malatesta, which has preserved many testimonies of a glorious past.

Speaking about the architectural heritage of Rimini, it is worth noting that here you can see masterpieces from the time of Ancient Rome to the Renaissance. These are the Arch of the Emperor Augustus, the Tiberius Bridge, the Sismondo Castle, the Malatesta Temple, the ancient Roman Piazza Tre Martyri (Square of the Three Martyrs), the medieval Piazza Cavour. The Museum of the city contains 1,500 exhibits related to its history, and in the archaeological excavation area "House of the Surgeon" you can admire the tools of the surgeon and pharmacist, preserved from the time of Ancient Rome.

What could be better than walking barefoot along the seashore? In Rimini, this is considered the best end to the day, both during the summer crowds and during the winter melancholy and loneliness.

It is believed that it was in Rimini that the trends spread all over the world appeared: street bars, happy hours, beach aperitifs; dinner served on the beach, next games and Nordic walking on the sand. There is entertainment for all tastes and ages.

Those who want to combine a beach holiday with a therapeutic one should pay attention to Rimini Terme, an ultra-modern thermal complex for body and soul.

On the Adriatic coast of Romagna is the largest number of theme parks. From Ravenna to Cattolica, there are 18 of them! The most famous are Fiabilandia (for kids), Oltremare, Mirabilandia and Aquafan.

Before leaving Rimini, take a look at its marina, one of the most beautiful and modern tourist ports in the Mediterranean. The pedestrian zone, raised above the water, facing directly into the sea, has a length of 1300 meters. And in order to get to know the life and customs of sailors and fishermen better, you should sign up for the “Exploring Porto Canale” excursion or drop by the city’s large fish market.

Rimini never sleeps, life is in full swing here around the clock. But the entertainment here is decent and never sins with excessive outrageousness. Every evening, in one place or another in Rimini, parties are held where all bohemia gathers: in the port, marina, on the promenade or on the beach. The historic center is also full of restaurants, pubs and wine bars, especially around the old fish market (Vecchia Pescheria) in Piazza Cavour, Rimini's main meeting place.

Riccione

Viale Ceccarini is the main "salon" of Riccione. It is crowded here day and night. One glance at the shop windows is enough to understand the current fashion trends.

Riccione will also appeal to those who are not alien to cultural tourism. Villa Franceschi, built at the beginning of the 20th century, houses a modern art gallery, and Villa Mussolini (the summer residence of the Duce), located on the waterfront near Viale Ceccarini, now hosts exhibitions and cultural events.

However, Riccione would not be Riccione if it were not for its famous nightlife, which attracts young people like a magnet to discos organized on the hills.

Be sure to visit the amusement parks. Every summer, Aquafan is literally stormed by young people and families in order to have fun in the pools, slides and water attractions. Oltremare Park is located nearby. This is a great opportunity to learn about the wonders of nature, and the finale of the visit will be a performance with dolphins. Inside the Imax cinema, you can immerse yourself in the magical world of three-dimensional cinema.

And how many places of entertainment are there where you can meet friends or meet new ones. Everyone will find music to their taste without exception. The most famous and popular discos among young people are located on the hills, they are called Kokoriko and Nu Ecous. A lot of nightclubs and the Marano zone, bordering Rimini. It is here that the most fashionable parties of the summer season take place.

Since the 80s, Riccione Terme has become famous as a thermal resort, offering a variety of wellness treatments. The baths are literally a stone's throw from the sea, the park of the complex occupies as much as 40 hectares. Its departments of wellness and aesthetic cosmetology are especially popular.

RIMINI

Rimini is the universally recognized capital of the summer Adriatic. In 1843, the young aristocrats Tintori and Baldini opened the first baths on the coast, which were small palazzos with massage rooms, cafes and bars. From this time begins the countdown of the history of the most popular resort in Europe, which today very harmoniously combines the historical heritage and modern trends. Holidays in Rimini are suitable for everyone without exception, especially for those who are just starting their acquaintance with Italy and are experiencing a language barrier. You can safely come to Rimini even if you do not know any other languages ​​​​except Russian: in hotels, restaurants and on the beaches staff fluent in Russian, both from among our former compatriots and Italians.
Rimini is great for families with children
Young travelers will be comfortable playing on the cleanest beaches and splashing in the sea, and parents can be 100% sure that their children are safe: gentle entrance to the sea, the depth for almost 10 meters from the coast reaches no higher than the knees of a child. Here you can teach your child to swim well, both independently and enroll him in swimming school and even sailing.

And within the city on Cavour Square, in the summer, on Wednesday afternoons, a unique "Children's Market". In the bazaar, not only adult entrepreneurs sell children's goods, but the children themselves act as sellers, selling their crafts or toys, which, due to their age, they no longer need.
For young people in Rimini there is also something to do. As early as 1869, Rimini became the first place in Italy where the therapeutic side of the “sea bathing cure” was combined with entertainment. So, to get bored on vacation in Rimini, you will have to try very hard. During the day you can lie on the beach, do water sports or ride a scooter in the picturesque surroundings. Evenings are best spent in local clubs, bars And discos open air. Only on the beach of Rimini, 23 discos on the beach begin their work every evening, in addition to them, there are a huge number of bars in the city where you can have good fun, and a whole disco town between Rimini and Riccione. A definite plus for youth recreation in Rimini is its economy. Even at night, moving from one club to another, you do not have to spend money on a taxi. From 22.00 to 6.00, a special regular bus runs along the "blue" line, the route of which passes through all the central streets of the city, and takes everyone to discos. In these buses you can drink coffee, have a snack and even dance. In the morning, the bus ends its route in the center of the beach line, where there are many cafes offering delicious breakfasts and people gathering for an after-party. And after breakfast - to sleep, right on the beach, as it should be with party-goers in a resort town.
Admirers of beauty, lovers of history and architecture, wishing to combine beach holidays and excursions, will also find a lot of entertainment during their holidays in Rimini. And even despite the fact that during the bombing of 1944, Rimini was razed to the ground, the inhabitants of the city managed to restore the appearance of the ancient city. From the "soul of Rimini" - the resort quarter of Marina Centro, the historical part of the city can be reached in 10-15 minutes by taxi, the cost of the trip is € 13-15. In addition, Rimini is the birthplace of the great director Federico Fellini a fact that all the locals are proud of. The memory of the Oscar-winning maestro is alive at every turn here. A square and a park are named in his honor - the green lungs of Marina Centro, located a few meters from Grand Hotel Rimini. The hotel itself is a national treasure of Italy, and is directly associated with the name of Federico Fellini, the director captured it in the film "Amarcord", filmed in 1973. You can learn more about the life of the maestro in their exposition at Federico Fellini Museum (Via Nigra, 26. The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10.00 to 12.00 and 16.00 to 19.00. Admission is free). And if you want to relax “like a local”, then go to the port to the pier, where you can see one of the impressive works of the “best Italian graffiti artist” Eron - 200 meters of a wall that encloses a walking path in the port, painted with his paintings, admire the New Harbor, capable of accommodating 622 yachts at the same time and one of the most beautiful 18th century lighthouses in Italy. And, of course, Rimini has all the conditions for the rest of shopaholics. The beach and excursions at the resort are perfectly combined with a visit to the numerous shoe factories in one of the smallest countries in the world. San Marino and in the neighboring Marche region, outlets Baldinini, Pollini, Vicini and other brands as well Center Gross– an outlet for wholesale buyers (you need to come to the so-called warehouse with clothes accompanied by local entrepreneurs, owners Partita IVA- registration number in Italy, necessary for the implementation of economic activities in the country. In Rimini, it is easy to find travel companies that organize a "tour" to such warehouses). Sales in Rimini take place in January and July.

The beaches of Rimini

The Italians call Rimini the largest open-air gym. On the resort coast 15 kilometers long is located 227 equipped beaches. A bus runs along the coast. All beaches in Rimini are municipal, but they are rented by private individuals. Tenants zealously monitor cleanliness, even the sand is sifted every morning. Of course, you will have to pay for comfort (an umbrella and two sunbeds will cost vacationers an average of 15 euros per day, this amount also includes all kinds of beach activities from water sports, yoga and bioenergy, belly dancing and even cooking courses), but many hotels have partnerships with certain beaches and offer discounts to guests. For those who do not want to pay, you need to go to free beaches: No. 1, No. 50, between Rimini and Riccione; beach near Piazza Boskovic, in San Giuliano, opposite the Harbour, in Marabello (between 105 and 106 and 139-140), in Torre Pedrera. The only negative point that many tourists who have visited Rimini on the beach focus on is the “dirty” sea. We assure you that the sea is not "dirty" - the sea is unclear due to the fact that the waves raise the sand suspension and it loses its transparency and rich emerald color. The Adriatic Sea off the coast of Rimini is the most controlled in terms of cleanliness and ecology in all of Europe, the beaches have a "blue flag", and beach number 62 even has the status of the most ecological in Italy. If you do not want a "dirty" sea, then you need to choose resorts with pebble, rocky beaches, for example, Amalfi.
