The most convenient way to travel from Rimini to other resorts on the Adriatic Sea and Italian cities is by train. Trains in Italy are comfortable and arrive on time.

After purchase, the ticket must be stamped.

Please note that there are no luggage storage facilities at the Rimini train station itself, but luggage can be left at the Tourist Information office next door for a fee of 3 Euros per piece of luggage. In the sign below I will indicate the distance from Rimini to other cities in Italy.

Taxi from Rimini airport

The fastest and most comfortable way to get from Rimini Airport to your hotel is by taxi. To avoid possible surcharges and to guarantee the best price, I recommend you

What to do if your flight is canceled

If a flight is canceled more than 24 hours before departure, passengers will be transferred to similar airline flights. The carrier bears the costs; the service is free for the passenger. If you are not satisfied with any of the options offered by the airline, most airlines can issue an “involuntary return.” Once confirmed by the airline, the money will be returned to your account. Sometimes this can take several weeks.

How to check in at the airport

Online check-in is available on most airline websites. Most often it opens 23 hours before the start of the flight. You can go through it no later than 1 hour before the plane departs.

To check in at the airport you will need:

identification document specified in the order,
birth certificate when flying with children,
printed itinerary receipt (optional).

What can you take on a plane?
Carry-on luggage is the items you will take with you into the cabin. The weight limit for hand luggage can vary from 5 to 10 kg, and its size most often should not exceed the sum of three dimensions (length, width and height) from 115 to 203 cm (depending on the airline). A handbag is not considered hand luggage and is carried freely.

The bag you take with you on the plane should not contain knives, scissors, medicines, aerosols, or cosmetics. Alcohol from duty free stores can only be transported in sealed bags.

How to pay for luggage at the airport
If the weight of luggage exceeds the standards established by the airline (most often 20-23 kg), you need to pay for each kilogram of excess. In addition, many Russian and foreign airlines, as well as low-cost airlines, have tariffs that do not include free baggage allowance and must be paid separately as an additional service.

In this case, luggage must be checked in at the airport at a separate Drop-off check-in counter. If you are unable to print your boarding pass, you can obtain one at the airline's regular check-in counter, and check-in and check-in your luggage there.

Where to find out the arrival time if you are a greeter
You can find out the plane's arrival time on the airport's online board. The Tutu.ru website has an online display of the main Russian and foreign airports.

You can find out the exit number (gate) on the arrivals board at the airport. This number is located next to the incoming flight information.

Rimini in the province of Emilia-Romagna is a point of attraction for Russian tourists who want to soak up the sunny Adriatic coast. In addition, there is a large expo center in Rimi, where exhibitions and conferences are held every month, including with the participation of Russian businessmen. That's why we decided to dig into where Rimini airport is and how to get to the city from there.

Rimini, with a population of 140 thousand people, is the largest Italian resort on the country's east coast, and several major air traffic hubs are located near this city.

The main airport, whose name is Federico Fellini International Airport (Rimini Miramare Airport, RMI). The distance from Rimini to the airport is only 7 km. It is located within the city, in the Miramare district south of the center;
Airport in Bologna (BLQ) 120 km from Rimini;
A small low-cost airport in the city of Falconara Marittima (Aeroporto delle Marche, AOI) 95 km from Rimini.

Don’t let Google maps confuse you about which airport in Rimini is the main one - when searching for a map, several distracting points are shown (military airfields and flying clubs), and you don’t have to pay attention to them.

For clarity, we have placed all three mentioned airports on the map:

Federico Fellini International Airport

This Rimini airport is used exclusively for connections with cities in other countries - there are no flights to other Italian cities from here.

In addition, Rimini has gained such popularity among Russians in recent years that in the eyes of tourists it will soon become a full-fledged replacement for Turkey - in December, for example, planes fly to Rimini exclusively from Moscow and Tirana (Albania), and during the swimming season flights from Russia even more.

There are flights to other cities in Russia (previously there were flights from Yekaterinburg and Krasnodar), but the situation changes from season to season.

This Rimini airport itself is tiny (only one runway) and unprepossessing, and the airport layout is elementary - just one small terminal. You don’t even immediately realize that you are at an Italian resort.

Duty free in Rimini

For some unknown reason, Russians are often surprised and even indignant that Rimini airport has a very small duty-free zone, and after passing through passport control, passengers have nowhere to shop before departure - they can only wait patiently for their flight.

But since Rimini Airport, despite its impressive name, is so small that there are not even flights from here to other Italian cities, there is nothing to be surprised about. This is not Berlin Schonefeld or Amsterdam Schiphol. Imagine an airport in some small Russian administrative center - this is exactly the scale you should expect.

So if you want to buy something memorable about your trip, it’s better to do it in the city before leaving for the airport.

Tax Free at Rimini Airport

There are still Tax Free Global Blue counters here. The procedure for obtaining a VAT refund is standard: we go to customs with a passport and a Tax Free Check, which was given to you in the store upon purchase, and then at the Tax Free Cash Refund counter we return the money in cash minus 3 € from each check or to a card without deductions (money will not be credited to the card immediately, within a couple of days depending on the bank).

Please note that the opening hours of the counters are strictly coordinated with the flight schedule. Global Blue counters have a day off on Sunday.

If you want to return the money to your card without deducting a fee, you will need to place a stamped envelope in the Global Blue box. Did not have time? You can still return the VAT upon arrival in Moscow at one of the 3 Banca Intesa offices.

How to get from Rimini main airport to the city

Getting from Rimini airport to the city is easy.

Let's start with the fact that it is generally possible to get from the airport to the hotel on foot– from the airport to the sandy shore it’s only a little more than a kilometer, it’s a 15-minute walk. So if your hotel is in Miramar or Riccon, you can take a walk.

The next option is bus. Bus number 9 () stops right at the airport exit, which can take you to almost anywhere in Rimini. There is a wide-format map of the bus network. The airport is located in the lower left corner of the map, the brown line is the same bus 9. Ticket price - from 1.30 €, more details.

How to get from Bologna airport to Rimini

Firstly, you can get to Rimini by direct shuttle. The seasonal schedule is below, check the official website for updates.

The cost of a ticket when purchased online is 20 € (8 € for children 4-10 years old), on the seat on the bus - 25 € (10 € for children 4-10 years old). The bus stop is located right outside the arrivals terminal:

“Oh, Italy! Whose hand will tear me out of here? - this is how Gogol once wrote about this amazing country. It’s impossible to argue with the greats, and there’s no point, because everyone who visited this fairy tale remembers how much they didn’t want to leave it.

But you have everything ahead, and you can only be envied. Well, your journey will begin, of course, with a flight.

If your tour does not include a transfer, it can be

All roads lead... to Rimini

Yes, that’s right, because during the “high” season on weekends, Federico Fellini Airport operates on a very busy schedule: about 20 charter flights arrive from Russia. The geography is as follows:

Moscow (Transaero and Ural fly from Domodedovo, UTair from Vnukovo);
St. Petersburg (Aeroflot, Yamal, Italian low-cost airline Livingston);
Krasnodar, Rostov (“Ural”, “Yakutia”);
Volgograd, Mineralnye Vody, Samara (“Ural”).

For some reason, it is customary on the Internet to scold Livingston for the fact that the crew does not speak Russian and there is no free “feeding”. But you can withstand 3.5 hours without “refueling”, and if you can’t bear it, then take a sandwich and water with you, which you can buy after the inspection.

In addition to charters, 13 more airlines from 26 European cities fly here. The estimated capacity of the airport is 1 million passengers per year, in reality - according to some sources it is 600 thousand, according to others - 800 thousand.

A little history

Rimini International Airport opened in 1938. No special milestones were noted in its development, except that in 1977 a new building was erected. And in 1993, after the death of the great film director Federico Fellini (a native of this city), the air harbor was named after him. Since then it has been called Aeroporto internazionale Federico Fellini.

In 2012, Italian officials in charge of civil aviation issues recognized Rimini airport as unprofitable and even wanted to close it, shifting the entire burden to Bologna. However, then they gave 3 years to “correct” things (without any funding from the state). Although experts believe that this was just an “act of intimidation”, because the geographical location of Rimini and its importance as a resort are difficult to overestimate.

A modest gateway to luxurious Italy

This airport can be called that because it was built without any special architectural flourishes and consists of one terminal. And only the absence of the Russian language on signs and signs will confirm that you have arrived in Italy, and not in a typical regional center of central Russia (no offense to our regions). An unprepossessing building housing the arrivals and departures halls, as well as a small VIP area - that's all. At passport control you will be greeted by slightly careless border guards who, without even looking, will slap a stamp on your passport, and you are in Italy.

The airport layout is ridiculously simple, and it is almost impossible to get lost there. Not far from the passport control area there are tour operator counters, where friendly Russian-speaking workers give package travelers envelopes with a description of the tour, guidebooks, and explain which bus to go to.

During the high season, when there are several flights of tourists arriving and departing, the building becomes a bit crowded. However, information support is in perfect order: the airport’s online display works reliably and uninterruptedly. If you urgently need cash, you can withdraw it from ATMs (the rate, however, is simply extortionate); if you want to grab a bite to eat, go to a bar or self-service restaurant.

Everything is at hand...

The airport is located in Miramare, a district (sometimes called a suburb) of Rimini.

It is only 8 km from the resort center. Getting to the city is easy.

Public transport

You can get there by bus line 9, which departs every 15-30 minutes (the interval depends on the time of day), the price is 1.3 euros. It starts from the square near the airport, you can ask any “local” and he will show you where the stop is. Travel time is about half an hour.

Taxi

However, this bus does not operate at night, so you will have to use a taxi. If there are several people or you have heavy suitcases, a taxi will also be more convenient. Its parking lot is almost at the very exit of the airport terminal building. The tariff to the city center is about 25 euros. A little more expensive at night.

A good option is to order a transfer in advance, from home. You will be greeted with a sign in the arrivals hall and taken directly to the hotel door. The price is the same as a regular taxi. One of the famous services

Most taxi drivers do not understand Russian, and to explain where to go, you can learn the phrase: “Per favore, mi porti alla stazione ferroviaria Rimini Centrale”(if you go to the train station, for example).

Generally speaking, Italians are generally very friendly, positive and sociable people. They try to help lost tourists and explain how to get where. But the words “per favore” (“please”) and “grazie” (“thank you”) have a simply magical effect on them, and the willingness to help increases significantly.

... and San Marino too

“Package travelers” (as tourists who arrived in an organized manner, on vouchers are sometimes called) do not have to worry about how to get there: the transfer is provided by the host party. Moreover, most excursion tours necessarily include a trip to San Marino either on the way from the airport (if arrival in the morning) or on the day of return flight (if it is in the evening).

How to get from the airport to San Marino for those traveling on their own? Here again the choice is between public transport or taxi. The scheme is like this:

bus line 9;
transfer at stop No. 4 (train station) to a bus to San Marino;
travel time - 1 hour, ticket price - 4.5 euros.

A taxi to the Most Serene Republic will cost at 50 euros. However, there is little point in rushing to San Marino immediately after the flight. There are few hotels there (about 30), it is better to stay in the resort of Rimini and, in between beach holidays, go once or twice to admire the medieval beauties of the dwarf state. And if you want to “shop,” then San Marino is also suitable for these purposes, because it is a duty-free trade zone, a kind of duty free on the scale of the whole country (albeit a very small one).

Don't forget about tax free!

If you shop in Italy, try to follow a few simple rules:

With such a pleasant event you can end your stay in beautiful Italy. And Rimini Airport will no longer seem pathetic and provincial, because it is a part of the country that you will fall in love with for the rest of your life.

This is precisely the main leitmotif of tourist reviews.

Svetlana from Krasnoyarsk writes:

“Oh, how I didn’t want to fly away! A stunning holiday in Rimini, trips to Venice, Rome, Florence - everything is in the past. If I have the opportunity to repeat it, I will definitely do it!”

Andrey from Vorkuta is a little ironic:

“Fellini Airport sounds proud, of course. But it doesn’t correspond...However, subsequent impressions corrected everything.”

Svetlana from Samara:

“We went to duty, the assortment was not very rich, people mainly bought grappa, coffee, chocolate. But it doesn’t matter, because I wanted to take all of Italy with me.”
