NikonZ7II · CC BY-SA 4.0 Why visit
The cable car is both a practical connection and a short landscape experience. From Borgo Maggiore it rises towards the capital, revealing the steep relationship between the lower settlement and the fortified crest of Mount Titano. The station is useful as an orientation point for a visit that combines Borgo Maggiore with the UNESCO-listed historic centre above. Because services can be affected by maintenance, weather or operational changes, current running information should be checked before relying on it for an itinerary.
What you will see

History
San Marino introduced the cable car in the 20th century to connect Borgo Maggiore with the capital on Mount Titano. The system opened in 1959 and has since been modernised. It became an important part of the visitor approach to the historic centre while also serving the practical link between the two settlements.
Visitor tips
- 1
Allow time for the immediate surroundings rather than treating the stop as an isolated point.
- 2
Check current access information before travel where an interior, service or event is central to the visit.
