San Marino old town is a maze of hilly cobblestoned laneways with churches and old buildings spanning the top of the mountain. It’s a gorgeous walk with lots of photo opportunities. Food and drink can be a little on the expensive side, but like anywhere, you have to pick the right shops. Statues and gardens are kept in top shape and everything is neat and tidy. It’s a great day trip, or even a night or 2 in one of the many hotels if you could afford it.
