Trains: There is a railway station in each of the districts of Rimini, a train passes about every hour here, and you can reach the central Rimini station. Using trains at night is not very popular, as it is located about 500 meters from the waterfront and the frequency of trains is far lesser than that of buses.

Taxi: For more details on pricing and how to book a cab, visit the website: Taxi Rimini. For a short trip along the waterfront, you will have to pay about 10 euros (15 during night).

Cars: There are a lot of parking lots in the city and even on the waterfront, but there is a 30 minute restriction in order to keep the places free for unloading of luggage. Large parking lots are typically located about 500 meters from the coastline, and they are free of charge.
