Latest San Marino hotel reviews
mapakettle Says: In the centre of Liberty Square, stands a gift presented by Ottilia Heiroth Wagener of Germany in 1876, to the good people of San Marino. The sculptor was Stefano Galletti.
mapakettle Says: The Palace was completed in 1894, and is the residence of the Regency and the secretary of State for the Interior.It is built of local stone in a Florentine neo-gothic style. The facade presents 3 pointed arches, supported by octagonal pillars.This is where the people of San...
mapakettle Says: The church is located opposite the main entrance to San Marino, therefore very easy to find. It is the Repubblic's oldest church, already under construction in 1361. Built entirely of square blocks of sand stone by master masons from Como, it offers an excellent example of...

Nido del Falco: Great setting, wonderful location, poor food
mapakettle Says: (Visited August 2005)The restaurant is situated within the old walls, near the top of the mountain, and shares a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Cool breezes are a plus on a hot summer's day.Staff are a real downer however. I believe our waitress has never...
Ristorante Ritrova dei Lavoratori: Good basic food
mapakettle Says: As you can see from the photo, the entrance from that section of the street is rather unusual. There appears to be work being done from a lower level entrance, but I couldn't really tell as outside areas were sectioned off by barriers. Using this entrance, be prepared for a...
FinElina Says: The nearest train station is Rimini, which is about one hour from San Marino. Fratelli Benedettini and Bonelli Bus run comfortable buses from Rimini railway station and Piazza Tripoli. The journey takes about an hour, tickets cost about 3€ / direction.
Basically, all shops offer the same merchandise: Weapon replicas
mapakettle Says: Most of the shops that sell replica weapons are the same. You'll find a number of places offering anything from brass knuckles to swords, from knives to shields and chain mail.Prices vary according to quality, and I have no method of judging quality. Some shops forge their...
mapakettle Says: Prices on goods are considered to be the actual selling price. Haggling or negotiating on price within shops is frowned upon, and considered to be in bad form.If you pause long enough while making your decision, many shops will offer a discount if the purchase price is high...
Give a greeting upon entering a shop...
mapakettle Says: It is customary to give a greeting to the shop owner upon entering his/her establishment. San Marino may be a Republic, but the inhabitants are still Italian, so a simple 'Buon giorno' (good day) would be appreciated.As you leave the shop, you might say 'Arrivederci' (good...
mapakettle Says: One cashier attempted to short change me, by claiming I gave a 5 euro bill instead of a 20 euro bill. He seemed to be adament about the denomination, but quickly changed his tune when my friend Graziella came to my rescue. He didn't realize we were together until she...
There is wine, and there is wine...
mapakettle Says: This really applys to any shops that sell spirits in San Marino.You will see many varieties of wine offered, but the one that really stands out is the odd labelled one, depicting a colourful drawing of James Bond, or Hitler, Stalin, well, you get the picture. Just a...
Passport stamps in San Marino and other things
FinElina Says: San Marino charges you of almost everything you can think. So, if you fancy a San Marino passport stamp, it costs you over 1€. (From the tourist information). There are also many very similar jewellery boutiques along the main streets. May be worth checking the prices of...
