✈️ Forli Airport to San Marino: Top Transfer Options

To get from Forli Airport in Italy to the small nation of San Marino which sits atop the Apennine mountain range, you have three main options: taxi, private transfer, or a bus and train journey. The quickest and easiest way is to take an airport taxi or private transfer which take between 55 and 70 minutes, depending on traffic. These offer the benefit of a door-to-door service in a comfortable vehicle with complete privacy and plenty of room for luggage.

The only public transport option is to take a combined bus and train journey which takes just under 2 hours, not including any time spent waiting or transferring between services which can take up to 2 hours. However, this option is much more affordable than a taxi and would suit anyone travelling lightly or on a budget. The trip involves a bus journey from Forli Airport that connects with a train in Forli, which then connects with another bus in Rimini.

*There isn’t a Forli Airport to San Marino tram service.

Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Rimini at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.

Editor’s Note

Taxis are the best option for those who want a seamless travel experience and have not booked in advance.

Useful Tips

There is also a taxi stand located at the Departure's entrance.

Your driver will assist you with any luggage.

If you require a baby seat or a specialized vehicle, it's best to book a private transfer in advance so that a vehicle can be waiting for you on arrival.

After 18:30, a taxi or private transfer is your only transport option to reach San Marino.
