How much time is there?
The length of the stay is the first filter for choosing the itinerary. A full day covers the historic core and the Three Towers, a weekend opens to museum visits and to the ridge Castelli, while those arriving from outside can combine the Republic with the villages of the Montefeltro or the coastal resorts of the Riviera.

Three routes to choose from
One day in San Marino
The route for those arriving from Rimini or Cattolica for a single day. Parking in Borgo Maggiore, Cableway, Three Towers, Piazza della Libertà, Basilica of Saint Marinus, return to the valley at sunset.
Children's tour
Five stops designed for children and teenagers: Cableway, Three Towers, Museum of Curiosities, Vampire Museum, San Marino Adventures. Pauses, food stops and short walks alternate with playtime.
Romantic weekend
Two nights on the Titano with gourmet dinner, the cellar of the wine consortium, a night walk among the lit towers and a wellness treatment in a charming property.
Food itinerary
Five stops between historic restaurants and recent venues, along the ridge and in the Castelli. Sammarinese piadina, fresh pasta, Tre Monti cake, wines of the consortium.

Three tips
Stops can be combined. A history-minded visitor may insert the autumn historical route into the romantic weekend; a family visitor may begin the morning at the adventure park and dedicate the afternoon to the monuments of the centre.
Indicated times include photo stops and a light lunch. Those wishing to deepen with guided visits at museums or in the institutional rooms of Public Palace should plan an extra half day.
All itineraries follow the same logic: concentrate stops near the pedestrian zones, use the Cableway from Borgo Maggiore to avoid the drive uphill, return to the car parks before nightfall, leaving time for dinner in the ridge restaurants or in the Castelli. Couples or small groups may ask for information on a themed dinner at the Sammarinese Wine Consortium.
