Tour Description

Walk the ancient cobblestone streets of Ravenna led by our local, professional guide during this 3-hour tour!

Ravenna, famous for its beautiful mosaics, was at the same time the capital of three kingdoms: the Western Roman Empire, the Byzantine Roman Empire and the Kingdom of the Goths ruled by Theodoric. Therefore, as of today the rich architecture and art of the city are characterized by many peculiar influences.

Discover the well-preserved churches of the ancient Roman and Byzantine times and let our guide tell you all about the stunning mosaics of the 6th century. You will also explore the world-famous landmarks of the city, such as the Romanesque Basilica of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and the Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo.

Did you know that Dante – the National Poet, Father of the Italian language – lived in Ravenna until his death after being exiled from Florence? Do not miss the chance to visit the Zone of Silence, a quiet area isolated from the noisy city life. Here you can take a leisurely stroll and admire the Tomb of Dante, the Quadrarco courtyard and the Franciscan Cloister, home to the Dante Museum.

Join our 3-hour tour of the main highlights of Ravenna and let our knowledgeable local guide unveil all the secrets of this beautiful city!
