Prices on Ryanair are as cheap as you could get them (it's the taxes are the b*****d)
OK as far as getting a hotel in San Marino:) but Bologna would be a good bet for a bed as it could be the venue or if it's played in San Marino its not too far. Bologna IMO is better suited for getting the return flight with Ryanair.
Read the thread the options are there. Post your route

Here, just checked Ryanair there, they don't have any available flights going out the week of the game but they have a flight coming back on the Friday evening(9th) for 67.94euro(incl. taxes). That's good value aint it?

i have hotel booked in forli but if a bus is organised from bologna, would stay there..can cancel hotel up to 24hrs before arrival..sent san marino fa e-mail to see could they tell me where game was(no harm in trying)..if its in san marino it will be long bus journey..

Was doing a bit of looking yesterday. Weould seem its a 50min bus from San marino to Rimini. think thats where Im going to look at a hotel. Rimini and bologna are next door, so it shouldnt be too much of a problem getting back for the flight on the Thurs morning. Also there are a good few going that way, so if i can get us into the same hotel there will be good craic and everyone will be sorted for a room/room mate.

Rimini looks the safe option, only one way into san marino,but sure you can book hotel in Bologna and Rimini and always cancel one when you know where game is..You on 10.45am flight thurs back to stansted..thats the one were on..whatever you book,we will do same and at least there will be a few in hotel:) :)

This is the lastest i have found out regarding travel.
There are trains every 30mins from Bologna to Rimini and this journey takes about 1 hour.
According to some sites There are no trains in San Marino - Need to check as some say you can get a train so far then a cable car will take you the rest of the way
Depending on the time of year etc there are up to 9 buses a day from Rimini to San marino
This journey is about 23Km and takes on the bus about 45mins-1 hour.
One site seemed to be quoting a round trip as costing E6.
However it would seem the last bus out of San Man is at 18.30/19.00 :eek:
But we can deal with that later.
It would seem a taxi from san man to Rimini is about E40 - So maybe not the end of the world.
For those thinking of driving, there are no cars allowed inside the walled part of the city - so its either find a parking space somewhere else or use one of the expensive car parks.
Im going to try contact the san man tourist board/consulate and the tourist information in Rimini - they might be able to rpovide info regards to special buses they could lay on etc.
im still going to stay in rimini - waiting for sylvo to let me know the name of his and Lopez's hotel so i can see how much it costs. If we dont stay in that one it will be an affordable one nearby.
Will post all the websites I looked at - please dont take my word for this (although I am telling it exactly as i read it;) )

No its defo no the easiest. but I fugure if I got info for the Faroe Islands trip and that went ok, then we should be sound. Ive emailed the San marino tourist office and the italin tourist office. also contacting the italian embassy. Also emailing STA travel (UK version of USIT sort of) see if they can point me in the direction of train/bus timetables and info on tickets.
Also contact italian bus/train service.

I spent a few weeks travelling around Bologna, Ancona, Pesarò and Urbino in 2003. In terms of travelling, if you stay in Rimini you will be fine, as its about a 20 min cab ride or 30 mins on the bus to San Marino (town center). One thing is that the town itself and nearby areas are very hilly.
Train from Bologna to Rimini is about an hour or so (Italian trains are pretty cheap (unless you get the express ones but that wont be a factor here) and very good in terms of being on time). Rimini is a lot like Blackpool in terms of nightlife, Bologna is q.good too, like you would expect of most towns of that size. If youre under 26 (like me :D ) you can get discounts on lost of things as the area is very studenty. Think you can also get a discount on trains.
Bologna can be an expensive place to stay in, whereas Rimini is cheap esp out of season. If youre there for a couple of days its def. worth checking out the town of Urbino, in the hills above Rimini and Pesarò, it's the nicest place in Italy.
I speak Italian (very badly) so if you have anymore questions I'll try and answer them.

no direct flights from dublin but uk fly to rimini thru easyjet but the prices are not out yet..At moment best bet is to go dub-lon stn-bologna forli with ryanair..can come back friday direct to dublin as that route starts that day.prices very cheap at moment till monday night.

Just think about making flights home when you are getting places to stay. Remember its about 40 minutes from Bologna to Forli Airport and the further from Bologna you go (i.e Rimini) the earlier we'll have to get up on the Thursday morning. :eek: The flight leaves @ 10.45 with check-in closing @ 10.00. It looks like a 2 - 2 1/2 hour trip from Rimini to Airport. But I'll leave it in the more than capable hands of the Foot.ie 747 travel agent:D
Beware of strongly worded letter if it goes pear shaped ;)

Another option is Stansted to Ancona (http://www.ancona-airport.com/doc/htm/eng/frameset_struttura_guida.asp), flights daily. Ancona seems a bit closer to San Marino than Bologna - map (http://www.singlegourmetdfw.com/images/italy2005/Italy%20map.jpg).

ye of little faith. Just to put your mind at ease i have emailed 2 bus companies that run shuttle buses out of Forli ariport, as well as the italian rail company office based in the UK. Its all good. yep it will be an early start, but everyone will reach their final destination early enough to be able to sleep it off.

Below is an email I received from one of the tourist offices I contacted.
Dear Louise,
Thanks for your mail.
Referring to your requests I've sent you here attached the winter-timetable
for the bus from Rimini to San Marino and return.
What about the Flybus from Forlì trainstazione (because you have to take the
train Rimini-Forlì), at the moment we haven't the winter-timetable but I'll
give you the website where you can have a look later in the next season:
www.atronline.it.
The train-trip, Rimini - Forlì, takes about 30 minutes. For exact timetable
you have to ask in our Information-office during your stay here in February
because the timtable we have at the moment will change in December 2006.
At last - have a look at our web-site www.riminiturismo.it where you'll find
all information about Rimini as itineraries, events and much more.
I'll remain at your disposal for any other information you may need.
This office will close on Saturday 16th of September so if you'll write again
please address your mail to infostazione@comune.rimini.it or
infomarinacentro@comune.rimini.it
Best regards
Monika Larsson-Ricci
