Rules in force · 4The old town is steep, stepped and pedestrian
- 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.
- 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.
