The town, which has made a name for itself on the Adriatic Riviera and is close to neighbour Rimini, is not that large and you will hardly need a map of Riccione.
The garden city, as the locals call it, is incredibly popular with tourists in season. Not even the high prices of the resort deter them. A map of Riccione reveals that it has numerous parks and even its own thermal springs, quite an attraction for travellers from all over the world.
What you will need is a map of the hotels in Riccione to find a place to stay overnight in the next few days. There are about 500 hotels and 4 campsites to add to that number. That's more than enough room for a good night's rest.
Despite its seemingly small size, Riccione has a variety of accommodation options, whether it's on the bustling seashore or in a quieter, more boutique location, depending on which area of Riccione the traveller chooses to stay in.
Most hotels are located right on the waterfront, which makes hiking to the beach and guarantees amazing sunrises and sunsets from your balcony. For this reason the waterfront Republic (lines 1 and 2) is considered the best area in Riccione for tourists who want to spend all their free time on the beach.
Families travelling with children shouldn't stay in the central Riccione area, but rather near the water park and amusement park on the western outskirts of the city.
There are no dangerous areas in Riccione, but the area above Via Milano (the main route running parallel to the waterfront) is best avoided. Quite simply, this is where Riccione's shopping centre is located, so if you're afraid of returning to the hotel with an empty purse and a full bag of luxury goods, avoid this fashionable and 'dangerous' area.
