Getting around

By air — Federico Fellini (RMI)

Rimini has its own international airport, Federico Fellini, about 7 km from the centre, with seasonal and low-cost European routes, busiest in the summer beach season. For wider long-haul, Bologna Marconi is about an hour away by train.

From the airport into town

The airport is linked to the centre and station in about 15–25 minutes by bus line 9 or the Metromare rapid-transit line, for around €2.

By train

Rimini's station sits near the centre on the regional Adriatic line. Bologna is about an hour away and the gateway to the high-speed network, with the coast reaching north to Ravenna and south toward Ancona (times below).

On foot and by bike

Rimini is flat and compact, and cycling is a genuine local way of life. Bike lanes run through the centre and all along the seafront. Most daily life happens on foot or two wheels.

The Metromare

Rimini’s standout is the Metromare, a rapid-transit line running along the coast from the centre and station down to Riccione: fast, frequent, and separate from traffic, it’s the easy way along the shore. Run by Start Romagna, covered by the normal bus ticket.

Buses (Start Romagna)

The city buses are run by Start Romagna. A single ride is €2.00, and it covers the Metromare too (Start Romagna, 2026).

Intercity buses (FlixBus and Itabus)

A budget option for other cities, and the usual way to reach the nearby republic of San Marino. On the rail corridor the train is usually faster, but the coach can win on price or for routes the train serves awkwardly. Check routes and fares on FlixBus ›

A note on driving

Rimini's historic centre has a ZTL (limited-traffic zone) and heavy summer traffic along the coast, so a car is a burden in season. It earns its keep mainly for reaching the hill towns inland, San Marino, and the wider Romagna countryside.
