San Marino uses the Euro (EUR) and mints its own euro coins which are highly collectible. ATMs are available in the historic center. Credit cards are accepted at most shops and restaurants. Duty-free shopping is available with some savings on perfume, electronics, and souvenirs.
Most visitors take the Bonelli Bus from Rimini train station, which takes about 50 minutes and costs EUR 5-6 each way. Around 12 buses run daily. The bus stop in Rimini is across from the train station in front of the Napoleon Hotel. Buses arrive at Piazzale Calcigni in San Marino.
There is no border control entering San Marino, but you can get a novelty passport stamp at the State Tourism Office in the historic center for approximately EUR 5. Make sure to visit before 6 PM when the office closes.
San Marino is built on Mount Titano at 750 meters elevation. Expect significant uphill walking on cobblestone streets to reach the towers and viewpoints. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Free drinking fountains are available throughout the town.
San Marino has no border controls. If you can enter Italy, you can visit San Marino. There are no passport checks or customs. The country is entirely surrounded by Italy and can be visited as a day trip from Rimini or Bologna.
Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer can be hot and busy with tour groups. Clear days provide views stretching to the Adriatic Sea. The medieval festival in July features jousting and period costumes.
If you are visiting San Marino as a day trip from Rimini, confirm the final return bus schedule in advance. Evening options can be limited outside peak season.

📍 San Marino
Climb the Passo delle Streghe (Witches' Path) connecting all three medieval towers on Mount Titano's ridgeline -- Guaita (the oldest, dating to the 11th century), Cesta (housing a weapons museum), and Montale (the smallest, viewable from outside). Visit the Palazzo Pubblico on Piazza della Liberta to watch the changing of the guard, then explore the cobblestoned Old Town streets with their duty-free shops and panoramic views stretching to the Adriatic Sea. Enjoy a piada (stuffed flatbread) with prosciutto and arugula, and finish with a slice of Torta Tre Monti (three-layer wafer cake) at a cafe overlooking the valley.
📍 City of San Marino
Spend more time in the UNESCO-listed historic center with visits to local museums and the basilica. Pause at panoramic terraces for mountain and Adriatic views.
📍 Borgo Maggiore
Take walking routes connecting the upper old town to Borgo Maggiore for local markets and quieter neighborhoods. Use the cable car for scenic return views.

A short but scenic cable car route linking lower town life with San Marino's hilltop historic center. It is both practical transport and a viewpoint experience.
