What's on
Wonderful events, unforgettable holidays
San Marino offers to the visitors a great variety of events, both during the summer, traditionally devoted to tourism, and all year round. Sports events, cultural initiatives, concerts, shows, historic re-enactments, either held in the evocative setting of the Old Town or in the surrounding townships, are aimed at making your stay a unique and unforgettable experience. Not to mention the charm of San Marino’s thousand-year history, which lives through the official ceremonies and the traditional celebrations, those devoted to our Patron Saint in particular.
