Location Information:
Riccione is a comune in the Province
of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, northern
Italy. As of 2007 Riccione had an
estimated population of 34,868.
Since the 1930s Riccione gained the
status of a main destination of
summer tourism on the Adriatic
riviera of Romagna, and, together
with Rimini, is one of the best
known seaside resorts in Northern
Italy.
Tourism in Riccione is massive,
including mostly young people
attracted by the number and variety
of discos, on the Riviera and in the
city centre. Riccione also attracts
families with children, thanks to
its theme parks.
The scores of hotels on the Riviera,
one next to the other, determine the
large amount of tourists flowing
there in summer. The main streets of
Riccione, viale Dante and viale
Ceccarini have numerous night spots,
discos, and hotels, but daily are
run by people walking or biking. The
seafront is a long boulevard, shaped
by a road and an equally developed
bicycle lane, that reaches up to the
town's end going along the sea.
Cycling is popular in the Emilia
Romagna area and a number of
Riccione's hotels have teamed up to
capitalise on this. These hotels
provide specific facilities for
cycling tourists, including bike
hire, cycle storage and tour guides.
