Riccione

Riccione sits at the slowly beating heart of Italy's Eastern Riviera. A hotspot for fun and unwinding in equal measure, there's no shortage of things to do. Shop the glossy boutiques of leafy Viale Ceccarini, stroll the shady paths of Papa Giovanni Paolo II Park, or explore Riccione's blissful hilly countryside by bicycle.

For a little history, learn about the community's past in the 20th-century Villa Franceschi, while plenty of lively after-hours entertainment can be found in the bars and clubs, which line the city's twinkling beachfront.
