San Marino, the Smallest State in the World

Arriving from Rimini, on Mount Titano you catch sight of the city of San Marino. Even though we're always in Italy, the difference is already visible in public order. At the entrance to the walls, we leave the motorbike outside, along with the others, and immediately notice some diligent policemen directing the traffic. Everyone, pedestrians and drivers, seems disciplined....a really strange sight.

Wandering around the Rocca almost feels like going back to the Middle Ages, were it not for the modern souvenirs that you find only in these parts. And what do you do if not give yourself over to the most unbridled shopping (since here you don't pay VAT)? So off you go with medieval armour, katanas and leather bags at rock-bottom prices!
