Ravenna
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 h 30 min - admission not included


Once serving as the capital of the Western Roman Empire, Ravenna has long been a special place for its proximity to the Adriatic and its collection of art. As a capital for several kingdoms, the city kept many of its gems well preserved over the centuries. The intricate designs and lavish features in many of the mosaics have won the heart of many. A major point of interest is the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a Roman building filled with mosaics praised by UNESCO experts as the most “artistically perfect”. Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and many monuments in Ravenna have been deemed unique and timeless. So much so, in fact, that Ravenna has 8 sites featured on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although Ravenna is an inland city, it is connected to the Adriatic by the Candiano Canal which has much beauty to offer. The coast of Ravenna has 9 seaside resorts, giving you a perfect place to rest after exploring this ancient city of art.

Situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy lies the remarkable cultural landscape of Ferrara. The Este family governed here for three centuries and can be thanked for the city’s unique blend of medieval and Renaissance. Although Ferrara suffered damage during WWII, its historical core remains intact. Today, the center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its breathtaking beauty and its important place in Italy’s art and culture. The winding cobblestone streets and wide range of museums, art galleries, busy shops, and cafes make Ferrara a can’t-miss destination. One of the city’s most important monuments is Castello Estense. This moated castle, built in 1385, served as the stronghold and residence of the Este family. The many castle rooms, including dungeons and prison cells, are a sight to see. Another noteworthy sight is Ferrara’s Cathedral, built in 1135. This cathedral is a shining example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Wander the city sights while taking in all the splendor that is Ferrara.
