There are no trains into San Marino, so you're limited to buses or driving yourself. Depending on the season there are up to nine buses shuttling to Rimini daily. There's also a daily service to Urbino. Both services leave from Piazzale Calcigni (aka Piazalle delle Autocorriere). If you're keen to drive, take the S72 from Rimini's city centre. Park near the funivia (cable car) and catch it into the city centre.
Cars are prohibited in the walled area of the city, so exploring it on foot is often the best solution. If you have a car you'll need to park it at one of the numerous car parks in the nearby township of Borgo Maggiore, at the foot of the mountain, and take the 1.5km (1mi) cable car up to San Marino, or leave it at one of the various (and expensive) car parks inside the city limits but outside the walled section.
