Boiron is a town in the administrative district of Upper Bavaria in the German state of Bavaria, not an independent state. It is located about 50 kilometers south of Munich on the banks of the Isar River in the northern foothills of the Alps and has a population of about 3,500. The town is known for its rich history, its Catholic Benedictine abbey and its natural beauty.
The Abbey of Boiron, founded in the 8th century, is the central landmark of the area and is known for its Baroque architecture and collection of religious art. The town retains its traditional Bavarian houses, hosts annual Christmas markets and other folklore events, and is surrounded by forests and hills, making it ideal for hiking and cycling tours.
The economy is based on tourism, agriculture and small crafts, with easy access to Munich and the Austrian border by road and rail. Boiron embodies the tranquility and cultural heritage of the Bavarian countryside and is an ideal stopover for exploring the German pre-Alpine region.
San Marino Dogana is not an independent national city, but a misnomer for the Republic of San Marino and its capital, the city of San Marino. San Marino is a pocket republic located in the eastern part of the Italian peninsula, with the capital city of San Marino, while Dogana may refer to a confusion of its historical name or regional alias.
San Marino is situated in the foothills of the Tittano Mountains in the Apennines, and with a land area of only 61 square kilometers, it is the third smallest country in Europe. Its history dates back to 301 A.D., when it was founded by the stonemason Marino, and is regarded as the oldest surviving sovereign state. The capital city of San Marino has as its core landscape the three medieval castles on Mount Titano (Ancient Aeta, Cesta and Montale).
The country is famous for its stamp and coin issues and tourism is the mainstay of the economy. The city of San Marino preserves monuments such as the medieval city walls and the San Marino Cathedral, which attracts a large number of tourists every year. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is also noted for its unique republican system and neutrality.
The city of San Marino is easily accessible from Rimini, Italy, where a cable car connects the historic center at the top of the hill with the town below. Visitors can explore Piazza della Libertà, the National Museum and buy specialty stamps. The country has no airport, but is well connected by road to the Italian railroad network.
