San Marino Top Things To Do

• Explore the perfectly preserved medieval centre with its narrow, winding streets, churches and ancient houses. Cars are banned so a stroll around the city's ramparts is a peaceful and atmospheric way to absorb the spirit of this ancient city-state.

• Visit the scented pine forests, fields and waterways of the territory - perfect for riding, fishing and walking. For more adrenaline-fuelled fun, the precipitous slopes surrounding the capital offer testing mountain bike trails. And the azure waters of the Adriatic coast are never far away.

• Attend the 24 Ore di San Marino, the country's main sailing regatta (held in July) or the Gran Premio Formula 3000 (Formula One Grand Prix), one of several annual motor racing events.

• Buy a famous Scudi - San Marino's gold coin. If stamps are more your thing, the State Philatelic & Numismatic Office (website: www.aasfn.sm) issues collectible, commemorative packs.

• Take in the eight picturesque villages scattered around the countryside outside the capital. Places of interest include Malatesta Castle at Serravalle; the modern church and the stamp and coin museum at Borgo Maggiore; the church and convent at Valdragone; and the fort at Pennarossa.
