San Marino Cable Car

The San Marino Cable Car (Funivia di San Marino) is an iconic aerial tramway connecting Borgo Maggiore with the historic center of San Marino City atop Monte Titano. Inaugurated on August 1, 1959, with a statue of Our Lady of Fatima as its first passenger, this 2-minute ride has become a defining symbol of the republic. The line traverses 338 meters with a 166-meter elevation gain, offering spectacular panoramic views of San Marino, the Italian Romagna region, and the Adriatic Sea.
