Rules in force · 9Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…The old town is steep, stepped and pedestrian
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Italy and Malta ↗The region's headline sights run on timed tickets that sell out: book the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, the Uffizi, the Last Supper and Malta's Hypogeum before you fix train and hotel dates.
  • Italy and Malta ↗Budget for per-night city taxes in Italy (up to about €10 a person in Rome), Malta's per-night environmental contribution, and Venice's day-visitor fee on peak days; none are included in most online room prices.
  • San Marino ↗San Marino is not in the EU; there are no border checks from Italy, and in practice you must meet Italy's (Schengen) entry rules to reach it. Check the official rules for your passport.
  • San Marino ↗There is no entry stamp, but the tourist office can put an optional souvenir stamp in your passport.
  • San Marino ↗San Marino is outside the EU's roaming area for some mobile plans; check before using data on the ridge, where Italian and Sammarinese networks overlap.
  • Città di San Marino ↗The old town is steep, stepped and pedestrian: large suitcases go from the car park or the drop-off to the door, never on a walk.
  • Città di San Marino ↗There is no airport or station in San Marino: check the last bus from Rimini before you travel, or book a transfer.
