Spectacular views!

It seems like people go to San Marino just for the view. It appears not many people visit because the location and transportation options are poor. Even if you go through all those troubles to get here, the experience honestly isn't quite as moving. Nevertheless, if you do decide to visit, please go with the mindset that you are there solely for the view.
