- Christmas markets and lights in the centre of Rimini, with the tree and street lights in piazza Cavour.
- The World's Longest New Year's Eve: Rimini's programme of events, concerts and shows over the festive season.

03The seaside in winter
On a sunny day out of season the beach is calm and quiet, and it's a good time for a walk along the shore.
Our air-conditioned rooms with sea-view balconies are heated in winter, and the private car park in front of the entrance makes life easy over the holidays too.
04Christmas and New Year at the hotel
Hotel Viking is open for New Year (at Christmas we close from 23 to 25 December and reopen on the 26th). The Antonioli family welcomes you to a family-run hotel with air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant serving Romagna cooking and a bar for a coffee or an aperitivo when you come back from a walk.
Over the holidays many guests come for a short stay of two or three nights: arrive on Christmas Eve or 30 December, celebrate, and head home at your own pace. Send us your dates and we'll put together a quote with the board option you prefer.
05Getting around over Christmas and New Year
The centre of Rimini, with its lights, markets and open-air concerts, is about fifteen minutes away by car or bus. The sand nativity at Torre Pedrera is a few minutes away, and you can walk there along the seafront. For San Marino, Gradara and the inland villages you'll need the car: see our inland hills and villages page for times and ideas.
