About this tour
This six-hour outing whisks you from Ravenna across the border to the hilltop republic of San Marino. You'll explore the medieval core of this independent city-state, browse independent boutiques tucked into centuries-old buildings, and settle in for a proper lunch before returning. Private transport included, so no navigating unfamiliar roads yourself.
Highlights
- Medieval centre of San Marino, perched on Mount Titano
- Independent shops selling local crafts and regional goods
- Included lunch in a local restaurant
- Private vehicle for the 90-minute drive each way
- Compact itinerary manageable for all fitness levels
What to expect
You'll be picked up and driven through the Emilia-Romagna countryside to reach San Marino's old town, where cobbled streets wind between stone buildings dating back centuries. The atmosphere is quieter than major tourist hubs—you're genuinely in a working community, not a theme park. Shopping here means local family-run botteghe rather than chain stores. Lunch is a proper sit-down affair in a trattoria, not rushed. Allow time to simply wander and absorb the views across the Adriatic plain below.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for cobblestones and potential inclines. The drive from Ravenna takes around 90 minutes each way. Tips aren't included, so budget separately. Prams work in the main piazza but struggle on narrow side streets. No guide provided, so do light research beforehand if you want context.
