San Marino
San Marino's hilltop old town offers panoramic views stretching to the Adriatic, three medieval towers to walk between, and a passport stamp that makes a great free souvenir.

San Marino is the world’s oldest republic, a tiny microstate perched on Mount Titano and entirely surrounded by Italy, reachable by an inexpensive bus from Rimini. Wandering the hilltop capital and taking in the ridge-top views over the Adriatic costs nothing, and the novelty of visiting an entire country in half a day makes it a fun, affordable side trip. The three medieval towers along the ridge are the highlight, with the best vistas reachable on foot before any entry fee.
