015 km from the Expo Centre, about 10 minutes by car
Need somewhere to stay near the Rimini Expo Centre (Fiera di Rimini)? Hotel Viking is in Viserbella di Rimini, 5 km from the exhibition centre (Rimini Expo Centre, via Emilia 155), about 10 minutes by car. Take the link road from the seafront up to the main road, then follow the SS16 for about 3 km to the East entrance. On fair days you're driving against the traffic, so you reach the fair in the morning without queuing and you're back at the hotel a few minutes after leaving in the evening.
The Rimini Nord exit on the A14 motorway is 7 km away, about 15 minutes. Our private car park is right in front of the hotel, fenced and covered by CCTV, with room for vans, coaches and lorries as well as cars. It costs €6 a night, and your space is guaranteed if you book it with your room.
Without a car: the no. 5 shuttle bus
For almost every event the public no. 5 shuttle bus runs to the Expo Centre on a special fair-day timetable. Ask at reception for the times and the stop, and we'll help you plan the journey there and back.
02Open all year, winter fairs included
Rimini's big trade fairs mostly fall in autumn and winter, when many hotels along the Riviera are shut. We're open all year, apart from a two-week break in September.

We're a family-run hotel, so when you phone or send a WhatsApp it's one of us who answers. We know how fair days work and we'll sort out times, meals and parking around your schedule.
