The airport terminal is situated 6 km from the centre of Rimini and 5 km from the seaside resort of Riccione.

Bus to Rimini

Two bus routes pass near the airport.

Route 9

There is a stop for public transport bus route 9 right in front of the terminal; this service runs via the coach station and the historic centre to Rimini’s main railway station and on to the western part of the city. Buses run every 15 minutes from Monday to Saturday and approximately every 30 minutes on Sundays and public holidays.

• Map and timetable for route 9

A 75-minute transfer ticket costs 1,50 eur, whilst a 24-hour ticket for 2 zones (covering all neighbouring resorts) costs 4,50 eur. A full-day ticket for 1 zone is not valid in Rimini, but is valid in other towns served by the bus operator Start Romagna.

• Journey time to the station: 25 minutes
• Price: 1,50 eur / 4,50 eur for 24 hours
• Frequency: every 15 minutes (up to 30 minutes on Sundays and early in the morning)
• First service from the station: 5:55 (Monday–Saturday), 6:35 (Sundays and public holidays)
• Last service from the airport: 23:17 (every day)

You can buy a ticket from the ticket machine at the stop in front of the airport terminal (payment by card or coins accepted) or via the Drop Ticket mobile app (available on:Google Play/App Store) or myCicero (available on:Google Play/ App Store). Tickets are also sold by the driver, but they are more expensive and cost 2 eur for 1 zone. You can find detailed information about buses in the city in our guide to Rimini.

After leaving the transit zone, do not follow the ‘Exit’ signs; instead, keep to the right and exit at the level of the check-in counters, directly onto the bus stop.

Tickets can also be purchased by card on board, although currently only cards issued in Italy are accepted.

The bus stop at the main station is located directly opposite the station building, across the road from the newsagent’s selling tickets to San Marino and right next to Burger King.

Route 9 has several different variants, but these only differ in the streets they take outside the city centre and do not affect transport to the airport for tourists. All variants are more or less the same length. You may therefore sometimes see the front banner of a bus displaying the numbers 9A, 9T, 9M or 9S. However, all services run from the airport to the city centre and vice versa.

Metromare route

The special Metromare bus service running between Rimini and Riccione also has a stop named ‘Miramare Aeroporto’; in reality, however, it is 1,100 metres from the terminal and the walk there is very inconvenient (there is no pavement for much of the way).

We do not recommend this option for travelling to the airport.

Car hire

Hire a car at the airport if you’re planning to head out from Rimini to the mountains and villages, where public transport is limited. There are several local car hire companies operating directly at the airport; prices for a one-day hire start at 45 eur .

Compare prices across all companies and book your car straight away, for example via the booking.com comparison site.

Taxi

All taxis in Rimini use a meter when driving. A journey to the city centre will therefore cost around 15 eur, and to the seaside between 20 eur and 25 eur.
