01Identifying San Marino
The 739m-tall Monte Titano dominates the surrounding landscape and is visible from almost every point in the Republic.
NOTE: Look for the three towers to safely identify it.
The landscape of San Marino largely consists of smooth agricultural hills, with many small winding roads. The vegetation is distinctly Mediterranean, and normally appears quite lush.
Sammarinese licence plates are short, white and have blue lettering on them.
NOTE: Other European countries will typically have longer licence plates, often with one or more blue strips.
Road signs and bollards are generally identical to the ones used in Italy.
NOTE: Many road signs give directions to the nearby Italian city of Rimini.
