What to do in Riccione and Rimini in summer 2026: events, clubs and beaches

Nightclubs in the evening, beach parties in the afternoon, Aquafan and the beach during the day: this is how summer 2026 works in Riccione and Rimini. There are five main clubs, the busiest weeks run from July 1st to August 23rd, and nightclub entry costs between 15 and 40 euros, according to presale prices. Below you will find the complete map, with dates and prices.

Which nightclubs in the Riviera are a must-visit?

Five names, each with a different character. Here they are, one by one.

Cocoricò (Riccione). This is the name you hear most often, and the 2026 lineup explains why: according to presale prices, basic evenings start from 15 euros, while Amelie Lens on August 16th, 2026 reaches 60 euros. The typical range is between 20 and 40 euros: Timo Maas and Loco Dice at 20, Mochakk at 30, Indira Paganotto at 35, Sara Landry and Deborah De Luca at 40. Please note: presale tickets operate in phases, so prices increase as the date approaches.

Peter Pan (Riccione). Riccione's other great classic. Riviera portals indicate approximate rates of 15 euros for women on guestlist with a drink included and 20 euros for men, also with a drink included, with a general range between 15 and 30 euros per evening.

Altromondo Studios (Rimini). The main venue on the Rimini side. Standard entries range from 15 to 25 euros according to presale prices, and increase to 30-40 euros when international guests are performing.

Villa delle Rose (Misano). Between Riccione and Rimini, this is the club with the most international 2026 calendar, along with Cocoricò: Seth Troxler on July 4th and Steve Aoki on August 1st, 2026. A standard evening costs 20 euros in presale, 25 with headliners. Recurring information from Riviera portals suggests a more refined style compared to other clubs, but no venue publishes an official dress code.

Secret Party. The fifth name in the circuit is a surprise format: the beauty lies precisely in not knowing everything in advance.

What are beach parties and pool parties?

These are the daytime parties of the Riviera, and they are the part that first-time visitors most underestimate. Beach parties take place on the beach in the afternoon: the reference point is Samsara in Riccione, where entry to the afternoon party is often free, and you pay for a sunbed or umbrella, between 4 and 12 euros according to 2025 price lists (2026 prices have not yet been published). Pool parties, on the other hand, take place by the pool, and in this area the name is Beach Village. In our calculations, budgeting for two parties, whether beach or pool, amounts to approximately 25 euros.

The typical rhythm of a full day: beach until the afternoon, party towards evening, shower at the hotel, and then the club.

What to do during the day in Riccione and Rimini?

During the day, the program is simple. The beach first of all: the equipped beach resorts along the promenade, such as Bagno Operà in Riccione, are a meeting point for groups. Then there's Aquafan, Riccione's water park: the smart option is afternoon entry from 2:00 PM, which in our calculations costs about 20 euros and leaves your morning free to sleep. After five consecutive nights, you'll need it.

How does evening transportation work?

The clubs are scattered between Riccione, Rimini, and Misano, and being without a car in the evening becomes a real problem: either you organize shared taxis, or you rely on the shuttle buses that connect Rimini and Riccione for round trips to evenings and parties. In our calculations, a round-trip shuttle costs 10 euros per evening, so 50 euros for five outings. Practical advice: decide how you'll get back before you go out, not at 4 AM in front of the club.

How much does an average club night cost?

Let's line up the numbers. According to presale price lists, entry to Riviera clubs ranges from 15 to 40 euros depending on the evening and guests. In our calculations, an average evening costs 33 euros including entry and presale fees, plus 10 euros per drink. Over a typical week, the cost quickly adds up:

• 5 nightclub entries with presale: 165 euros (our calculations)
• 1 drink per evening: 50 euros
• 2 beach/pool parties: 25 euros
• Aquafan afternoon: 20 euros
• Round-trip shuttles for 5 evenings: 50 euros

Total: approximately 310 euros per person just for evenings and days, not including hotel and meals. Our complete count, also including the ABK Kit (t-shirt, backpack, and lanyard, 40 euros in our calculations), comes to 350 euros.

How to organize everything before leaving?

You have two ways. The first: buy each presale ticket separately, club by club, checking the price lists that increase phase by phase. It works, but it takes time, and you've seen the total above.

The second: get everything in a single package. The ABK Card, the summer card that combines evenings, parties, and the beach, costs 220 euros and is valid from July 1st to August 23rd, 2026. It includes 5 nightclub entries (Altromondo, Peter Pan, Villa delle Rose, and Secret Party with a drink included; at Cocoricò, the drink is not included), the beach party at Samsara and the pool party at Beach Village with a drink, a sunbed at Bagno Operà for the entire period, afternoon entry to Aquafan from 2:00 PM, and round-trip shuttle service between Rimini and Riccione for evenings and parties. Compared to the 350 euros for DIY calculated above, in our calculations you save 130 euros.

How it works is simple: you pick up your NFC bracelet at the ABK point in Riccione, activate it on site, and use it for entries. You can change the name, date, or package up to 48 hours beforehand, subject to availability, and if you book now, you can pay a deposit and settle the balance by June 30th, 2026. If you also want to arrange accommodation, there's a hotel option starting from 39 euros per night per person, 7 nights with breakfast in the beachfront area.
