    Find Accommodations in San Marino

  1. Step 1

    Consider staying nearby. You can find both luxury and cheap lodgings in Rimini that are close enough to San Marino for you to visit it daily.

  2. Step 2

    Climb to the capitol. San Marino's mountaintop capitol has most of the few hotels in the country. The majority of these accommodations are relatively expensive, but offer 5-star service and modern amenities such as air conditioning, swimming pools and room service. If you really want to be in the thick of things in San Marino, the capitol is the place to stay.

  3. Step 3

    Expect plenty of peace and quiet. San Marino practically closes down after dark, unlike the more active Rimini. If you choose to stay in San Marino, at night you will find the streets to be almost deserted and the silence to be profound. Those who appreciate a slower pace and shy away from the nightclub scene will love the nights in San Marino.

  4. Navigate San Marino

  5. Step 1

    Lace up a pair of comfortable shoes. San Marino is a very small country with few roads, no train station and no airports. Walking is one of the few travel options available in San Marino, but most travelers should have no problem seeing the entire country on foot.

  6. Step 2

    Catch a bus out of town. If you are planning on visiting Italy during your trip to San Marino, there is a bus that makes daily runs to the Italian resort town of Rimini.

  7. Explore San Marino

  8. Step 1

    Pretend you are Rapunzel by visiting San Marino's three towers. These ancient towers are situated on top of the mountain outside of the capitol city. Two of the towers are open for public tours. The third tower does not have an entrance, which just adds to its fairy tale charm.

  9. Step 2

    Stop by the capitol. San Marino's capitol city, which is also known as San Marino, is a spectacle of medieval storybook wonder. One of the few historic cities with its original ancient wall still intact around the entire town, the capitol is situated on top of a mountain with gorgeous panoramic views of the rest of the country. Do not miss a visit to this historical treat.

Tips & Warnings
  • There is no English booking site or telephone number for San Marino.
