The official currency of San Marino is Euro, which you can obtain in all ATMs in town, faster than in banks and with similar exchange rates. Currency exchange is available through different money changers available mostly in the historic centre. 

Prices in San Marino are comparable to those in Italy. A quick lunch with a drink in the centre, is around 25-30 euros. Museums and landmarks generally cost 10-20 euros. For a full dinner, budget around 30-40 euros.

The city of San Marino is really very small so it is advisable and pleasant to visit it on foot, since all the recommended hotels, museums and most restaurants are within walking distance and in the pedestrian area. The city also has a cable car that connects it with Borgo Maggiore, in case you wish to visit from other areas with your own vehicle. There are many car parks in town however they can be quite busy in summer weekends and Italian and local National Holidays. 

Public transport in the city is very efficient and user-friendly.

The city is generally very safe and the local police is particularly attentive to protect locals and tourists. However, as in most highly touristic destinations, occasional episodes of pickpocketing can happen so we recommend to be aware of it, leaving documents and valuables safely stored in your hotel.

In most cases, a half- or full-day private walking tour and lunch in a nice restaurant is enough to visit the main attractions, located close to each other in the historic centre. 

For a more intense and rewarding experience, and for arts & history fans, we suggest to spend 2 to 3 nights, since it is a great base visit nearby countryside, wineries and picturesque villages (with a rented car & guide, or a private excursion with driver and guide), Rimini for its very popular seaside and nightlife, Cesenatico for seaside relax and the harbour designed by Leonardo da Vinci.
