Ravenna tours

Once the capital of Rome's Western Empire, Ravenna's early importance as a centre of Byzantine art and culture still shines through today. The Italian city sits just east of Bologna and attracts visitors with its innumerable early Christian mosaics, on display throughout the religious buildings and museums in its historic centre. Take a private Ravenna tour with a guide who can make the colourful art come alive for you with its historical, religious and cultural significance. Most of Ravenna's attractions can be found with a stroll through the city centre, where you can visit the 5th century Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and Neonian Baptistry, along with the splendid 6th century Byzantine churches of San Vitale and Sant'Apollinare. Explore the Piazza del Popolo, and learn how mosaics are made in a modern-day workshop. And don't forget to sample the fabulous culinary offerings of Emilia-Romagna! Your guide will happily lead you to the best local spots on your private Ravenna tour.
