Despite its very modest size, the Republic of San Marino is the oldest European state. And if by the will of fate you ended up on the Apennine Peninsula, then by all means go and admire this most ancient republic on the planet.
A visit to the Republic of San Marino was included in the program of the 8-day tour "Classic Italy", if you arrive early in the morning, then the excursion to San Marino falls into 1 day.
I recently visited San Marino and I want to tell you a little about this small state, maybe it will be interesting to someone, or maybe someone will want to visit it. Of course, in this story I will pay attention only to what may be important for tourists.
“Size matters” – this is exactly the thought that arises when you get to know and study in detail the vast expanses of Russia with its impenetrable Ural taiga, the scorching sun of the Kalmyk steppes, the piercing wind of the northern seas and the beauty of Kamchatka volcanoes.

We were in San Marino at five o'clock, on the way from Rome to Florence. After the mad Rome with crowds of tourists, motorcyclists, huge buses, etc. San Marino seemed to us a paradise on earth, I really wanted to stay 3-4 days.
