Why City of San Marino matters
The capital sits high on the slopes of Mount Titano, wrapped in medieval walls. Steep lanes lead past shops and small squares up to the towers on the ridge. The government palace overlooks the main square, and a cable car links the old town to the lower district. It is easy to explore on foot, and the views over Italy are the real reward.
Talking points
- Cobbled lanes climb the mountain.
- A cable car reaches the upper town.
- The views stretch to the sea.
