Viale Dante is one of Riccione's most iconic and lively streets, with its trendy stores, jewelry stores and restaurants. It runs through much of the city running parallel to the waterfront, from Via Giuseppe Verdi to Viale Ceccarini, passing by the port of Riccione. While the section north of the harbor is a quiet street overlooked by houses and hotels, the section
from the harbor to Viale Ceccarini, on the other hand, is full of
stores,
restaurants, and
bars and is, along with Viale Ceccarini, a favorite place for strolling.
