A country on a mountain, one car ride away
The Republic of San Marino sits on Monte Titano, 130 km from Bologna and 141 km from Bologna Airport: about 1 hour 40 minutes door to door. There is no train: rails stop in Rimini, and the climb is exactly where a private car earns its keep.
We drop you at your hotel or as close to the historic centre gates as vehicles are allowed, and on request the driver waits while you visit and brings you back the same day.
Border formalities? None to worry about: you drive straight in. Remember San Marino stamps for your passport are a souvenir you buy at the tourist office, not a queue you stand in.
How people actually get to San Marino
Without a car it is a two-step trip: train or bus to Rimini, then the local bus that climbs to the Republic roughly every hour in season (about 7 euro, 50 minutes from Rimini station). Cheap, and fine for a light day trip. The private transfer replaces the whole chain with one vehicle from your Bologna hotel or the airport, door to door in about 1h40, luggage in the boot, and the return planned around you rather than around the last bus down. For families and small groups the per-vehicle price splits into something very close to four bus-and-train combinations, without the hour lost in connections. Updated July 2026.
