Things to Do in Ravenna

Ravenna is a city that’s brilliantly adorned with amazing mosaics, some dating back to the 5th century. A few days’ visit to see all the collections is hardly enough, but we’ve picked out a few of Ravenna’s basilicas and terracotta churches to help you find the best of these beautiful Byzantine artworks.

Gothic landmarks and mosaics aside, Ravenna offers plenty of modern attractions for families with kids. You can have great times on a coast that’s lined with great beach clubs, or spend a whole day at Mirablandia, a park that’s home to some of the best roller coaster rides in Europe. Out in the countryside, fun awaits partygoers at Boing, one of Ravenna’s few discos. Here’s our roundup of things to do in Ravenna in a day or two.
