The Property — Concorde
The four-star Hotel Concorde sits on Rimini’s seafront, a 1960s-era block with clean lines and a smart, pale façade. Inside, the lobby is bright and marble-floored, with a small bar and a calm, efficient front desk – it feels like a solid, well-run family hotel rather than a trendy boutique. The sun terrace and pool face the beach, and the breakfast buffet is generous with local pastries. It suits couples and families who want a reliable base, not flash or fuss.
Chronicles of Rimini
Rimini began as the Roman colony Ariminum in 268 BC, a key Adriatic port and military outpost marked by the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge, both still standing. After Roman decline, it became a medieval commune and then a stronghold of the Malatesta family, who built the Tempio Malatestiano in the 15th century. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Rimini developed into a coastal resort, and by the 1960s it was Europe’s largest beach destination, famous for its long, hotel-lined grid of sand. Today its cultural identity mixes Roman and Renaissance monuments with a brash, sun-and-sand tourism economy, plus a lively nightlife strip and a growing reputation for food and winter conferences.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rimini guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm (22-28°C), long sunshine, the sea is swimmable. Crowds are thinner than peak July/August, and hotel rates are noticeably lower.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the peak months, fuelled by Italian ferragosto holidays and Northern European school breaks. Many hotels double their low-season rates, and beaches are packed with sunbeds. The Notte Rosa (Pink Night) at the start of July is a big all-night party along the waterfront.
Budget shoulder season
April and October offer the best shoulder deals: hotel prices can drop by 40-50% versus July. April can be cool (15-18°C) but sunny; October still has mild afternoons (18-22°C) and fewer tourists, making it good for cycle tours and sightseeing.
Weather & packing
Rimini’s climate is humid subtropical: summers are hot and sticky, with afternoon thunderstorms possible. Pack light cotton clothes, a rain jacket, and always bring sturdy sandals for the heat and a light sweater for air-conditioned restaurants.
Live City Briefing — Rimini
- The new Rimini tram-train (Metromare) linking the station to the beach and Fiabilandia park opened in late 2023; it's a fast, cheap way to avoid the coastal traffic jams.
- The old fish market (Mercato Ittico) in the city centre has been renovated and now serves aperitivo and seafood plates from mid-afternoon – popular with locals for early evening.
- Construction on the new Cavour pedestrian bridge near the Arch of Augustus started in early 2026, with some detours on the seafront cycle path until autumn.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Concorde, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 to 5, facing the internal courtyard. These levels are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still served by the lift, and the courtyard side is typically quieter than the front.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 and especially the ground floor. They are closest to the street and the ground floor can pick up lobby and restaurant noise. Also avoid rooms at the rear near any service or bin area if visible from the street.
Best views
For a view, ask for a higher floor (4–5) facing the street: you'll see the city rooftops and possibly a glimpse of the sea in the distance, but expect some traffic hum. If you prefer a garden or courtyard view, that's calmer but less interesting.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–5, courtyard-facing. These offer the best balance of quiet and convenience.
🔊 Noise notes
Rimini's streets can be busy, especially in summer with mopeds, bars, and late-night foot traffic. The hotel's central location means street noise is common on lower front-facing rooms. Internal courtyard rooms are quieter but may hear occasional kitchen or service sounds if near the back.
Insider tips
1) If you're arriving by car, ask the hotel about nearby parking options at check-in — some 4-stars in Rimini have deals with local garages. 2) Request a room on a higher floor (3–5) at booking, not at arrival, to improve your chance of a quieter stay.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use bank ATMs in the city centre for fair rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Rimini train station or tourist offices, which offer poor rates and high fees.
Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger shops; smaller cafés and market stalls often prefer cash, especially for under €10.
Tipping is not expected but appreciated; round up the bill in restaurants (5-10% if service was good), leave some coins for taxis, and nothing extra for hotel staff unless they do something special.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →An espresso at a bar counter costs around €1.10; standing at the bar is always cheaper than sitting at a table.
A slice of pizza al taglio (by weight) or a panino from a bakery, plus a drink, costs about €6-8.
A simple pasta or pizza main in a casual trattoria on a side street runs €10-14; avoid the seafront strip for higher prices.
Look for piadina kiosks and 'pizza al taglio' shops in the old town (Borgo San Giuliano) and along Via Gambalunga for cheap, filling eats.
Budget supermarket chains common here include Lidl, Eurospin, and Conad; they're scattered around the city centre and residential areas.
For affordable clothing, head to the shops on Corso d'Augusto in the historic centre or the OVS and Kiabi stores near the train station.
The single bus ticket costs €1.30 (valid 75 mins); a day pass (€3.50) is the cheapest way to get around. From the airport, take bus line 9 to the station for €1.30.
Eat at trattorias away from the beachfront; use the free public water fountains (fontanelle) to refill bottles; buy a day pass for unlimited bus travel if you're making more than two trips.

Top Attractions in Rimini
💡 Sit on the steps of the clock tower at sunset – the light hits the old buildings perfectly. The square is also where the weekly market sets up on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid wedding parties blocking the nave – they often book the church for ceremonies. Check the side chapels for the best art.
💡 Cross the road to the little traffic island in front of it for the best photo angle without cars. Go at dusk when the arch is lit up – it's far more dramatic than in full sun.
💡 Walk to the far end near the riverbank – fewer tourists go there, and you'll find old plane trees and a quieter spot for a picnic. There's a free public fitness station by the basketball court.
💡 Entry costs €6, but it's free on the first Sunday of each month. The museum has a small rooftop terrace with views over the old town – ask staff to unlock it.
