San Marino is a 26-square kilometer independent nation within Italy, surrounded by the regions of Emilia-Romagna and The Marshes. The novelty of being such a small nation encourages a thriving tourist industry, but tourists find an added bonus of impressive scenery when they explore this small patch on the map of Italy.
