Destination Information for San Marino

Only 61 square kilometres in size, San Marino is a microstate surrounded by north-central Italy. The Apennine Mountains run through this Republic, and the capital– the City of San Marino– is found on the ascent of the area’s highest point, Mount Titano. The city is built entirely of stone and there is just a single street leading up to Piazza della Libertà, where multiple cafes, restaurants and duty-free shops can be found.

Three fortresses are also situated atop the ridge of Mount Titano, the oldest of these being Rocca Guaita, which was originally built in the 11th Century. The arduous climb to reach this landmark will reward visitors with impressive views of the surrounding countryside. And at the very summit of the mountain, three towers provide more scenic views, along with a museum exhibiting thousands of ancient weapons.

Infections and Outbreaks frequently change from country to country and by attending our clinics you will be given the most up to date clinical and safety advice from our team of specialists. Our advice to you often includes aspects such as:
