Private Tour of San Marino: UNESCO World Heritage Site
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Discover San Marino, the fifth smallest and arguably the most curious independent country in the world, added to the UNESCO Heritage List in 2008.
Meet your guide at a central location to explore the historical heart of San Marino, the oldest republic in Europe.
The Unesco historical center of the republic is a living museum and visited by millions of tourists from across the world.
Set off to walk along the narrow streets and cobbled alleys, passing through squares and around churches. Visit the Piazza della Libertà, the main square, with its Town Hall and Basilica of St. Marino, and head up to the medieval First Tower, rising from the top of the hill.
You will need to climb lots of steps up to the tower, but you’ll be rewarded with an extraordinary panoramic view of the Apennines Mountains and the Adriatic Sea from the top.
Despite its small size, San Marino also boasts thousands of stores and boutiques that make shopping here a real pleasure —especially as it’s tax-free.

5.00Great walking / history tour of the lower level of San Marino (our tour did not go up to the towers). Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history and current government structure of San Marino. These types of tours are a nice introduction to the city as they take you by the main sites. You can buy additional entry into any of the museums or art displays. Recommend this as a first stop when visiting San Marino!
Excellent guide and tour

5.00Our guide was terrific, showing us facets of the country we would not have found on our own. Especially liked learning about San Marino's history and its current governing structure--2 presidents at the same time, each with veto power over the other!
Outstanding tour of San Marino- worth every penny! Engaging & entertaining & informative

5.00San Marino is a wonderful destination, but most people don’t know that. I found its devotion to liberty, neutrality and independence moving. Our guide discussed the history of San Marino enthusiastically and knowledgeably. Based on our tour I’ll come back to San Marino to see and learn more.
Great time in San Marino
