Riccione: The Green Pearl of the Adriatic



Often called the "Green Pearl of the Adriatic," Riccione is the elegant and stylish sibling of the Rimini Riviera. It manages to balance high-end fashion and exclusive vibes with an inviting, sun-drenched atmosphere.

History: From Roman rest stop to glamour hub



Although it started out as a modest settlement on the Roman Via Flaminia, Riccione's true transformation began in the late 19th century. With the arrival of the railway, wealthy families from Bologna and Milan built elegant Art Nouveau villas near the coast. In the 1930s, it became Mussolini's favorite summer resort, cementing its status as the "it" destination for Italy's elite—a reputation for prestige that it still carries today.

Description: The ultimate summer getaway



Imagine a city where manicured gardens meet golden sands. Riccione is defined by Viale Ceccarini, a world-famous pedestrian street lined with luxury boutiques and trendy bars. It’s the perfect place to book a holiday that feels both energetic and indulgent.

For those seeking privacy away from the beach clubs, the hills overlooking the coast are dotted with stunning villas and private residences. Spending a holiday here often means retreating to a terrace with a private pool overlooking the Adriatic before heading down for an evening aperitif.

Nature and parks



Riccione is not just concrete and parasols; it’s famous for its pine forests and flower displays.

The pine forests: Large green lungs provide shade for cyclists and pedestrians.

The sea: The shallow, calm waters make it safe and accessible.

Agolanti Castle Hill: Offers panoramic views and a bit of wilder greenery just behind the city centre.

Typical Foods: Taste of Romagna



The food here is hearty, coastal and unpretentious.

Piadina Romagnola: A thin flatbread filled with squacquerone cheese, rocket and prosciutto.

Passatelli: Pasta made with breadcrumbs, parmesan and nutmeg, served in fish stock.

Grilled bluefish: Freshly caught from the Adriatic, usually breaded with herbs and garlic.

Sangiovese wine: The robust local red wine that accompanies every meal.

Activities: Fun for every pace



Aquafan: One of Europe's most famous water parks, known for its massive slides and foam parties.

Oltremare: A nature park with a dolphin lagoon and bird of prey demonstrations.

Shopping: Viale Ceccarini is the place to see and be seen while browsing Italian designer labels.

Cycling: The region is a mecca for road cyclists, with professional trails leading into the hills.

Festivals and Events



Riccione stays awake all year round with a packed calendar:

La Notte Rosa (Pink Night): "Summer New Year's Eve", when the entire coast turns pink with concerts and fireworks.

Riccione Christmas Village: In winter, the town is transformed with ice rinks and festive markets.

MotoGP: With the Misano World Circuit right next door, Riccione becomes the headquarters for racing fans every September.
