# Essential Borgo Maggiore Travel Guide: What to See & Do

**Discover Borgo Maggiore: San Marino’s Market Town Beneath Mount Titano**

Borgo Maggiore offers a different perspective on the Republic of San Marino. Located below the capital on the slopes of Mount Titano, it is one of the country’s nine *castelli* and its second-largest municipality. While San Marino’s historic center is known for its medieval towers and dramatic hilltop views, Borgo Maggiore has a more everyday atmosphere shaped by commerce, local life, and its long-standing market tradition.

## Borgo Maggiore and Mount Titano

The town’s central square is particularly striking when viewed from above. Its mountainside setting creates a natural link between Borgo Maggiore and the capital, while highlighting the dramatic change in elevation between the two settlements.

Borgo Maggiore, San Marino’s capital, and Mount Titano form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for the republic’s enduring historical and cultural landscape.

## Ride the San Marino Cable Car

One of the most distinctive things to do in Borgo Maggiore is take the cable car to San Marino City. Operating since 1959, the ride offers expansive views over the surrounding countryside and the Adriatic region while connecting the lower town with the historic center above.

The journey also reveals the steep terrain that defines this part of the republic. Travelers who prefer to experience the landscape at a slower pace can choose the traditional uphill path instead.

## Why Visit Borgo Maggiore?

For travelers looking for things to see in San Marino beyond its famous towers, Borgo Maggiore adds a quieter, more local dimension. Its market-town atmosphere, mountain setting, and connection to the capital make it an appealing stop in any San Marino itinerary.
