I will be travelling to Rimini in September (4 - 9), after having spent 1 week in Lake Garda. Does anyone know if the Hotel Principe is found in the centre of the city? What about transport from Rimini to Riccione? Since I will be using the trains a lot in my itienary, do you think I have to book the tickets beforehand?

From Rimini to Riccione you can even walk along the beach. Takes between one and two hours maybe. Or you can take a bus or a train. It was a long time ago that I was there. I liked Riccione more than Rimini, but it´s a matter of taste. Have fun. Trains in Italy are quite reliable and they are frequent.

No problem with transport From Rimini to Riccione We stayed at Riccione in May and tickets were available from hotel desk for the regular bus service that runs between Riccione/Rimini which takes around 20mins. Have a great time

Marsi - The hotel website says it's on the main passeggiata and 30m from the sea:
