Known as “The Most Serene Republic of San Marino”, this is an absolute must-see destination in the world. This city prides itself for being known as one of the smallest (population of 30,000) and oldest independent states in the world (yes, it was founded in the 4th century AD). Just 30 minutes from Rimini, San Marino will be a hop away during our 2020 Royal Clipper Adriatic Odyssey cruise. This tiny country is literally a tranquil, green oasis, and the perfect place to relax with beautiful views of rolling hills, wineries, and beautiful fortress structures. Add in the shopping, San Marino is a wonderful place to get a deal on Italian brands and experience tax-free shopping; covered with hundreds of little boutique shops, malls and outlets, offering a wide range of items from housewares to clothing for women, men and children. Lastly, San Marino offers history buffs some of the most amazing museums in Europe. From large collections of paintings to coins, archaeological objects, and even contemporary wax art, San Marino’s Museums will not disappoint. Join us next summer for a unique experience on the Royal Clipper Adriatic Odyssey Cruise.
