San Marino

Hotel Antica Quercia; 133 euros for two communicating double rooms including breakfast. The centre begins 200 metres away. The hotelier gave us four little discount cards (50% on fortresses/museums and 10% on restaurants and a few shops. One day is enough to see everything, but if you come from far away it is inevitable to sleep one night there. Alternatively you can opt for the valley floor and the cable car to go up to the historic centre, discounted with the famous little cards. Prices are like in Italy, only for weapons and perfumes is there a bit of a difference. In any case it is worth the visit.
