 Adriatic gem, vacation city,
garden city... Everyone of these attributes, which have made it famous all
over the world, can be used to describe Riccione. Among the Romagnese
beaches it has a flavour all its own. Riccione, which in the 1700's was
nothing more than a small country town, was developed with and for the idea
of vacation.
It was only towards the end of the last century that public administrations
and private businesses began to come up with the notion to construct the
seaside city as we know it today: spacious tree lined streets, villas with
gardens, parks and of course hotels.
Tourism in Riccione has been quite successful.
Its rapid growth is due to the fact that it offers only quality services,
thus making it one of the most popular and frequented tourist destinations
in Europe: hundreds of first-class facilities; an enormous white, sandy
beach; recreation facilities and water sports of every type; a vivacious
center with countless places to shop; a vast calendar of shows and events;
and a lively, unforgettable night life. |
