San Marino

For such a small country, San Marino has a great diversity of museums, including the San Franciscan museum, the Ancient Arms museum (located within the Second Tower), the Migrant museum, the gallery of modern and contemporary art, and several others. In addition to regular historical and art museums, San Marino has an Old Weapons Museum, New Weapons Museum, Car Museum, Museum of Curiosities, and Wax Museum.

Visit sites such as Monumento A. Bartolomeo Borghesi and the Centro Storico Di San Marino for some time out from the touristy activities and just to take in the atmosphere of the city and to appreciate its medieval splendour and the scenic views. On a shorter visit, just a few hours are enough to wander through the city streets, go up in the towers, and check out the piazza della Liberta. Several cafes and restaurants take up one side of the piazza della Liberta, and the views of the square across the San Marino rocks cape are breath-taking. San Marino’s city hall and its official government building, Palazzo Publico, are in the Piazza della Liberta, and are a focal point on the square, with their Gothic-style architecture and elaborate facades.

From Piazza Della Liberta, take in views over the countryside, observe changing of the guards, and view Palazzo Publico, the town hall and most iconic building in San Marino.
