Money in San Marino

Euro · € · EUR

Small goods such as batteries cost less than in Italy, as the 20% Italian VAT does not apply.

On the cable car, a €5 return ticket is cheaper than two €3 single tickets.

For both open towers, the €4.50 Red Card costs less than buying a €3 Yellow Card twice.

Rooms are likely cheaper and far more plentiful in nearby Rimini on the coast.

About the data

Written from the sources we link, and checked against them before each release. Countrywise summarises public sources. We are not an official source. For safety and entry rules, always follow the official page we link to.

From your foreign ministry when it publishes its advice openly (Germany, the US, the UK). Otherwise we show those three side by side. Checked daily, with the date next to every entry.
