Transport Options from Rimini Miramare Airport to San Marino

Traveling by bus to San Marino is by far the cheapest transfer option, although it does require at least one connection and the trip takes 1 hour and 15 minutes – excluding wait times – which is nearly three times as long as a taxi.

If you do wish to travel by bus, you’ll first need to jump on Bus Line 9, run by Start Romagna, which travels between the airport and Rimini Central Station in 25 minutes. From there, catch the bus to San Marino historic center operated by Bonelli Bus which provides services every day of the year and takes around 50 minutes.

The initial bus from the airport to Rimini Central Station costs €1.50 per traveler; a single-journey ticket can be purchased from a ticket vending machine at the airport or on board the bus from the driver.

Tickets for the Bonelli bus can also be bought from the driver on the day, although it’s recommended that you book online in advance to secure a seat. A one-way trip costs €6, bringing the total price per traveler to €7.50.

The bus is a great budget option for anyone traveling solo or not under any time constraints. Both bus companies provide a well-organized and professional service, albeit with a much lengthier travel time than a taxi. Keep in mind if you’re traveling with luggage that you’ll still need to carry your bags once you get to San Marino and that if you miss your connection, you risk waiting around for up to 2 hours.

Also, if you’re arriving in the evening, a taxi or private transfer is the only reliable option. When you pre-book a private transfer, however, you’ll have the added benefit of a fixed rate fare and an English-speaking driver.
