Getting Around Rimini with a Dog

The local and regional bus operator for the Rimini province, including the Metromare rapid line linking Rimini and Riccione. Small pets in a carrier ride with their owner; larger dogs are carried on a leash with a muzzle. Specific conditions are published on the operator's 'trasporto di animali domestici' page.

Rimini station is on the main Adriatic line with frequent regional and Frecce services to Bologna, Ancona and beyond. Small pets travel free in a carrier (max dimensions apply); larger dogs need a half-fare ticket, a leash and a muzzle. You must carry the dog's registry certificate and health booklet, or an EU pet passport for foreign visitors.

Rimini's redesigned Parco del Mare seafront and the Marecchia cycle path make walking and cycling the most practical way to get around with a dog. The flat, mostly traffic-free routes link the centre, the beach establishments and the river park. Bike rental is widely available, though dogs must be carried or run alongside on a leash.
