Riccione tourist information
Adriatic gem, vacation city, garden city ... Everyone of these attributes, which have made it famous all over the world, can be used to describe Riccione. Among the Romagnese beaches it has a flavour all its own. Riccione, which in the 1700's was nothing more than a small country town, was developed with and for the idea of vacation. It was only towards the end of the last century that public administrations and private businesses began to come up with the notion to construct the seaside city as we know it today: spacious tree lined streets, villas with gardens, parks and of course hotels. Tourism in Riccione has been quite successful. Its rapid growth is due to the fact that it offers only quality services, thus making it one of the most popular and frequented tourist destinations in Europe: hundreds of first-class facilities; an enormous white, sandy beach; recreation facilities and water sports of every type; a vivacious center with countless places to shop; a vast calendar of shows and events; and a lively, unforgettable night life.
