Money-Saving Tips
Stay in nearby Rimini or Italian border towns instead of San Marino proper - typically 40-60% cheaper accommodation
Eat at local trattorias away from the main tourist areas for 30-50% savings on meals
Use public buses from Italian cities rather than taxis - saves 70-80% on transportation costs
Visit during shoulder seasons (March-May, September-November) for 25-40% lower accommodation rates
Pack a picnic lunch and eat in the scenic public areas - saves $15-30 per day on dining
Walk between attractions within San Marino's historic center instead of taking taxis
Buy combination tickets for multiple museums and attractions for 20-30% savings over individual entries
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Staying only within San Marino's limited accommodation options without considering nearby Italian towns - typically 50-100% more expensive
Eating exclusively in the main tourist squares and towers area - usually 80-150% markup over local neighborhoods
Not planning for the limited public transport options and relying entirely on taxis - can triple daily transport costs
