San Marino
San Marino is among the smallest countries in the world, only 43 miles in size. More precisely, it is the fifth smallest, but probably the most curious one. This micro-country is a sole survivor of Italy's former (and powerful we must add) city-state network; and it is still holding on as the world's oldest surviving sovereign country and its oldest republic dating back to 301 A.D. Tucked away inside Italy's northeastern region, San Marino is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lovely things to offer its visitors. You'll find everything from forests, fortress towers, and shopping malls, to medieval markets and Olympic stadiums in this quirky and unique part of the world.
Italy
For centuries Italy has drawn foreign visitors - mostly for its architectural, artistic, and scenic splendors. Italy can truly be all things to all people. From the passion and excitement of noisy urban crowds to the quiet, rural idyll where the traditional life can be experienced. Italy's great cities are replete with rich attractions and culture alongside some of the most pristine beaches and spectacular mountains in the world.

Trip Summary

San Marino City
Only 43 miles in size, the little Republic of San Marino is independent, with its own government and laws even though it is entirely surrounded by Italy. The world`s oldest sovereign state, it dates from 301 AD. Atop the center of this hilly area`s highest point, Mount Titano, is the capital city of San Marino. Medieval stone walls surround the original settlement, built entirely of stone and completely pedestrianized. The three fortresses at the top of the mountain give San Marino its best-known image and are linked by a path that runs along the entire ridge of the mountain. Visit and explore the Piazza Dalla Liberta (the most popular public square); Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall and where you'll find the changing of the guards); Towers of San Marino (Guaita, Cesta, and Montale); Mount Titano and the several small and so much more.

South East Tuscany
South East Tuscany is a land of castle-dominated hill towns, misty blue mountains, and the remnants of Apennine forests. Snowy-white cattle graze in the wide Chiana Valley, while light industry toils at the edges of medieval centers. Splendid landscapes where you can find famous monastic settlements, completely surrounded by century-old trees and numerous Romanesque parishes. This is the area where the humanist Renaissance of Florence meets and melds with the intangible, hazy spirituality of Umbria's green hills. Visit and explore the nearby Arezzo, Cortona, Anghiari, Monterchi , Sansepolcro and the beautiful castle of Poppi - these are just some of the most beautiful towns in South East Tuscany, waiting to be discovered on your Tuscan trip and so much more.
