The tiny country of San Marino is a curious place indeed. It is the oldest republic on earth (established in 301 CE, though the origins are somewhat murky), and the second smallest after Nauru. Its history is an interesting one, and it has traditionally remained neutral throughout wartime. During the Second World War, San Marino had to contact the United Kingdom to insist that they had not, in fact, declared war. Tourists usually come to see the stunning three towers, which have become the symbol of the country. They can also get a Tourist Visa stamp in their passport for 5 euros, though it's entirely optional (and a bit frivolous).
