Palacongressi di Rimini: my practical and close guide
As the director of the Ausonia Hotel, I have accompanied hundreds of conference attendees through registrations, plenary sessions, and working dinners. In this article, I will tell you, in the first person, how to make the most of the Palacongressi di Rimini: what it offers, how to get there, and especially where to sleep to reach it comfortably on foot, without using the car. At the end, you will also find the direct rates of the Ausonia Hotel, cancellable up to 7 days in advance.
Why the Palacongressi di Rimini is a reference
The Palacongressi is a modern and modular structure, immersed in urban greenery and connected with pedestrian and cycling paths to the city. It is the heart of the conference industry on the Riviera: it hosts scientific congresses, corporate events, conventions, workshops, and cultural appointments with significant numbers and cutting-edge technologies.
Rooms and capacities
- Modular rooms for meetings from a few to thousands of participants.
- Plenary with large capacity, ideal for keynotes, shows, and live events.
- Expo areas for stands and product demonstrations.
Facilities
- Professional audio/video and dedicated direction.
- Spaces for break, catering, and networking.
- Multiple entrances and ancillary services for delegations.
Where it is located and how to get there without stress
The address is Via della Fiera 23, Rimini. It can be reached by car from the A14 Rimini Nord or Sud exits, by train with urban buses from the station, and, something I often recommend to my guests, on foot from hotels in Marina Centro like the Ausonia.
- On foot: simple, flat route, perfect for those who want to avoid traffic.
- By car: parking in the Palacongressi area and surrounding streets (check availability during major events).
- By public transport: urban lines from Rimini station and quick connections to the center.
