Rimini’s new exhibition centre

The new exhibition centre, Rimini Fiera, which covers a total surface area of 460,000 m², is in a prime location - on the coast yet at the crossroads of several important routes of communication. With its own train station - on the Milan-Bari line - and heliport, it can easily be reached from the hotel in just 20 minutes. In 2007, Rimini welcomed a total of 10,540 exhibitors and 1.5 million visitors, making it one of the most modern and cutting-edge exhibition centres in Europe.

The programme for events in August and September is as follows:

Meeting for Friendship amongst People: 23rd - 29th August 2009 (Knowledge is always an event).

Mondo Natura: 19th - 20th September 2009 (International Camper, Caravan, Camping and Outdoor Tourism Show)

Places: 2nd - 20th September 2009 (event dedicated to new holiday tourists)

Riccione and its surroundings

Riccione is a unique emotional experience! Not just sea, but lots of greenery and interesting shopping streets, lined with some of the most famous boutiques and cafes on the Adriatic Riviera. All of this is surrounded by a wonderful inland area, ready to surprise visitors with a great variety of different places and landscapes: enchanting castles, solitary fortresses, medieval boroughs and fishing villages that have remained largely intact combine the wonder of nature with a fascinating history. From Easter through until late autumn, visitors may even come across a prestigious cultural or music event, brought to life by the sounds and aromas of traditional food and wine.
