Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from Bologna or Ravenna in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Relax during the 1.5-hour drive to San Marino, one of the oldest republics in the world and the fourth smallest state in Europe.

Meet your expert historical guide at the San Francesco Gate, the main entrance to the lower part of the city center. Embark on a 2.5-hour walking tour through San Marino’s Old Town, the three towers (Guaita, Cesta, and Montale), Mount Titano, Borgo Maggiore’s Old Town, and the rock, an enchanting natural area on the slopes of Mount Titano.

Admire the outstanding monuments and buildings that punctuate the City-State, such as the Basilica of the Saint, the monasteries of St. Francis and St. Clare, Palazzo Pubblico, Titano Theatre, the fortified city walls, and the historical palaces that command the city’s most characteristic quarters.

If you feel like it, climb to the rocktop First Tower for bird’s-eye mountain and Adriatic views. After the tour, enjoy a delicious Italian lunch at a typical restaurant with a panoramic terrace and spectacular view of the Apennines (lunch is not included).

After lunch, take a leisurely stroll through the many artisanal shops, where you can find exquisite artworks, handmade crafts, and unique souvenirs that reflect the essence of this enchanting region.
Finally, relax on the drive back to Bologna or Ravenna, arriving at around 5:30 PM.
