Driving in San Marino: licence, roads and tolls

Italian driving rules on a mountain, no tolls, and a historic centre you cannot drive into.

• The old town on Monte Titano is closed to traffic. Park in the numbered car parks below and take the cable car or the lifts.
• There are no tolls in the republic, and the Italian autostrada that brings you here is tolled to the Rimini exit.
• Italian rules apply in practice, including the 0.5 g/l alcohol limit.
• The approach road climbs 700 m in a few kilometres of hairpins - not difficult, but slow in a queue on a summer Saturday.
• Border formalities do not exist - there is no check between Italy and San Marino, and a hire car crosses freely.
• Fuel is slightly cheaper than in Italy, which is why the stations on the approach road are busy.
