Off the beaten path: San Marino

San Marino, the third smallest country in the world after Vatican and Monaco and the oldest sovereign state, founded by a mason Marinus, doesn't really have off the beaten path locations due to its size. However you might find some unexpected surprises by wandering around and peeking into specialty museums like the Torture Museum and Vampire and Werewolf museum.

San Marino Torture museum

San Marino Torture museum has more than a hundred instruments and torture devices, and tells you interesting stories about the castle's prisoners, like Count Cagliostro.
