- Top 10 places to see before you die?
No.
Is this country in the must-see in Europe right now?
No.
It's just too small to worry or to pay attention.
But in this video, I'm gonna share with you
five reasons why you should still visit this country.
(lively music)
Probably 600 meters.
Via steps!
San Marino is madness.
(gentle violin music)
If you come here to visit, you will be shocked.
Absolutely stunning.
In fact, this is the oldest independent country
in the world, the third smallest country in Europe
and the fifth smallest country in the world.
Whatever you do just to make sure
you don't call them Italians because they're not.
You will politely be corrected straight away.
So let's talk about the five reasons
why you should visit this hidden gem in Europe.
(lively music)
San Marino is creating really a paradise
for nature lovers and photographers.
Even if you're not a photographer... for whatever
your Instagram pictures, it's just fascinating.
It's blowing my mind.
When you come all the way up, you have an iconic view
of the whole country.
The Monte Titano is over 900 meters above the sea
purely nature, green colors, mountains, hills
you can't beat this location that easily.
The views... I've been walking with Kristina a lot
in the past couple of days,
still I feel I haven't seen everything.
Then I think it's important to know if you do a day trip,
it will be packed normally
because it's all these people coming from Italy,
the best way to enjoy this is early in the morning,
or late in the afternoon.
In the middle, you will be sharing a lot of places
with tourists.
That's also the reason why we stay more than one day here.
The next one is towers of San Marino, number four,
so you have three main towers here.
Probably if you check something online about San Marino
you will see that there's an iconic picture
postcard from San Marino.
The towers are called Guaita, Cesta and Montale,
and the three together, people call them, the Pinnacle.
And you will also see that
these towers are in the flag of San Marino as a symbol.
I hate talking about this
and no one likes to hear about politics.
There's a lot of issues in the world right now,
but this country, oh my God,
so two Captains regent are elected every six months
as co-head of the state.
So the idea is to have a balanced power
to minimize corruption, it seems to be working here.
Can you imagine every six months having an election
and sharing the power with the different party
in your country?
Let me know in the comments what you think.
(joyful music)
If you're one of those guys that are always checking
is it safe to go to this country or to that country?
Me, for example, I was born and raised in Argentina
and I know the places that are safe and that are not safe.
And I'm thinking, hmm, what area shall I stay?
I'm constantly thinking about this
probably because of my background.
I don't come from Finland, Switzerland
all these places, but if you are one of those guys
then you just need to know that
San Marino is probably the safest country in the world,
or one of the safest countries in the world.
They have a mini jail with a dozen of cells.
They're not even full.
So I think your biggest risk here is to drink too much wine
or to overeat your piadina or pizza
or this type of food here.
In fact, there's something very interesting
to avoid crime or to avoid accidents.
They put a guy down the street
that is constantly controlling the traffic.
If a car is coming very fast,
if you're not crossing at the right time,
he's literally giving you directions
in terms of how to cross or the cars to stop.
And idea is to minimize any potential accident
or crime for speeding and so on.
I think this guy is the most serious guy in San Marino
but it's so interesting
that they do a lot of different things here and there
to minimize crime, corruption and pretty much everything.
Hats off.
(dramatic music)
And the final is unleash your creativity.
Nature is king.
Nature is amazing for your creativity,
for my creativity for everyone.
(dramatic music)
And this is one of those countries
where you have a lot of different mountains,
hills, different colors, green here, yellowish there
elevations, absolutely stunning.
(dramatic music)
To try to unleash my creativity as well,
I'm working on mainly three projects.
One is NFT photography.
Every trip I take two cameras, one for filming,
one for taking photos.
♪ Seven hours driving on the highway ♪
My first collection will be released very, very soon.
I will leave the link in the description
so you can check it out if you're interested.
The second project I'm working on is related to the fact
I have a lot of drone footage, no secrets.
If you just check any of my YouTube videos,
you'll see drone, drone, drone, drone, drone.
♪ Working on the seed of lights ♪
I'm working on a drone class for beginners.
If you're an experienced person, just ignore this.
♪ Then there's no need to hide. ♪
And the last project I'm working on right now
is videography.
So as you know, I'm trying to do videos
every week for YouTube
but a lot of these videos are not really going to YouTube.
So those videos go to social media
or privately to different people.
♪ Far away far away ♪
That's how these places are really inspiring me
to create more content and to film more
and to link all the things I really like.
(lively music)
Sometimes I need these trips to get inspired again,
reshuffle, reconnect and start creating.
Thank you so much for watching
and see you next week.
