Every summer, just minutes from here, something special happens.
The Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples returns to the Rimini Fair, an event that has attracted people from all over Italy and abroad since 1980, becoming over the years one of the most popular cultural events of the summer.
From 21 to 26 August 2026 , the fair's spaces will be filled with meetings, exhibitions, shows and testimonies: a true place of dialogue, where different cultures, faiths and points of view are openly compared.
It's not just a fair.
It's an event born from the desire to truly meet, to understand something more about the world and even about ourselves.
And maybe that's exactly what makes it so difficult to tell.
Because the Meeting isn't just something you attend:
It's a place where, for a few hours, people stop to really listen.
An event that goes beyond a simple fair
Over time, the Meeting has become an international reference point, bringing together diverse experiences, distant histories, and people who, for a few days, share the same space.
You don't need to be an expert or an "insider".
All you need is curiosity.
Sleep near the fair... without experiencing the chaos
When you attend such a big event, there is always one question:
“Where is the best place to stay?”
Choosing a hotel in the center of Rimini can mean traffic, noise, and parking difficulties.
Especially during the Meeting days.
For this reason, many people prefer to travel a few minutes and sleep in Bellaria Igea Marina.
Here you are close to the Fair, but away from the confusion.
And above all, you're in a quieter location, perfect for those traveling with children and looking for a truly relaxing beach holiday.
After the Meeting, the sea
There are days filled with meetings, words and thoughts.
And then there's the moment when you go back.
You leave the fair behind and, in a matter of minutes, everything changes:
the noise drops, the air becomes lighter, the pace slows.
There is the sea.
And there's room to breathe.
