faq.subtitle Ravenna
Ravenna has 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites with Byzantine mosaics from 5th-6th century. Basilica di San Vitale, Mausoleo di Galla Placidia are most stunning. Finest preserved Byzantine art outside Istanbul.
Dante was exiled from Florence and spent last years in Ravenna, dying here in 1321. Florence repeatedly asked for remains but Ravenna refuses. His tomb is in centro storico.
Train from Bologna (1h), Rimini (1h), Florence (2h). Small local airport exists but Bologna (BLQ) main choice. Easy day trip from Bologna.
Absolutely! Underrated gem with unique Byzantine mosaics nowhere else in Europe. Add beach access in summer. 1-2 days ideal. Much quieter than Florence/Venice.
Useful tips for visiting Ravenna
Get combined ticket for all mosaic sites - saves money and time. Mausoleo di Galla Placidia requires timed entry.
Rent a bike! Ravenna is flat and bike-friendly. Best way to see city and reach beaches.
Marina di Ravenna for beaches in summer. 10km ride, bus or bike through pine forest.
Try piadina romagnola - local flatbread with various fillings. Ravenna's street food.
Visit Dante's tomb and nearby 'Zona del Silenzio' - quiet meditation area with his verses.
