Chronicles of Borgo Maggiore
Borgo Maggiore, the capital of San Marino, was founded in the 13th century by the Malatesta family. The city's unique blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture is a testament to its rich history, with the three towers of the Three Towers Republic still standing proudly. Today, San Marino is a microstate with a strong cultural identity, proudly maintaining its independence and sovereignty since 301 AD. Visitors can explore the city's narrow streets, visit the Palazzo Pubblico, and enjoy the stunning views from the top of the city walls.
Best Time to Visit

The best months to visit San Marino are June and September, when the weather is warm and sunny, with average highs of 23°C, and the crowds are manageable. These months offer ideal conditions for hiking and exploring the surrounding countryside, and the hotel prices are relatively affordable compared to the peak season.
Peak / festival surge
July is the peak tourist month in San Marino, with prices skyrocketing due to the peak festival season. The annual Festival of Saint Agatha, held on July 5th, attracts thousands of visitors, and the city's narrow streets become even more crowded. Hotel prices increase by up to 30% during this time, making it a good idea to book well in advance.
Budget shoulder season
April and May are the best shoulder months for budget-conscious travelers, with mild weather, fewer crowds, and discounts on hotel prices. These months offer a great opportunity to explore the city's cultural attractions, such as the Palazzo Pubblico and the San Marino Museum, without the peak-season crowds.
