    Tour Details

    Full Description

    Discover the heart of Ravenna in a fascinating 3-hour walking tour through its most iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites. Begin in Piazza del Popolo, the elegant main square, where you'll hear about Ravenna’s unique past as capital of the Western Roman and Byzantine Empires.

    Stroll to the Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo, home to breathtaking 6th-century mosaics depicting imperial processions and biblical scenes, reflecting the city’s fusion of cultures and faiths.

    Next, visit the Battistero Neoniano, one of the oldest monuments in Ravenna, renowned for its vivid dome mosaic of Christ’s baptism surrounded by the Apostles. A short walk takes you to the majestic Basilica di San Vitale, a masterpiece of early Christian art, where you'll be dazzled by the golden mosaics of Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora.

    Continue to the serene Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a small but stunning space filled with starry skies and intricate patterns, considered among the most beautiful mosaics in the world.

    The tour also includes a stop at Dante Alighieri’s Tomb, where Italy’s beloved poet rests in exile—an essential site linking Ravenna to the Divine Comedy and medieval heritage.

    Perfect for lovers of history, art, and culture.
