Rimini railway station

Rimini railway station is a central transport hub in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, opened on September 17, 1861, as part of the Bologna-Ancona line. Managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), it serves regional and long-distance trains operated by Trenitalia and others. The station features four tracks with side and central platforms, equipped with modern amenities.

Historically, the station underwent electrification in 1932 using direct current, later switching to alternating current in the 1960s. It has been a significant node for various railway lines, including the Rimini–San Marino line (1932-1943) and the Rimini–Mercatino Marecchia line (1916-1960), both now closed.

Currently, the station connects to cities like Bologna, Ancona, Pesaro, and Milano Centrale via regional, InterCity, and high-speed trains. Seasonal routes include EuroCity and EuroNight services. In 2019, it served around 12,085 passengers daily in July and 9,669 in November.

Interchange is facilitated by local buses and the Metromare trolleybus rapid transit, linking Rimini to Riccione since 2019, with plans for extension. The station also inspired Raffaello Baldini's poem "Intercity," highlighting its cultural significance as a departure point for travel.
