Review of Ravenna (Italy) by sandor

Advantages: little, a lot of monuments, good food
Disadvantages: difficult to drive

Ravenna is a little town (only 135.000 inhabitants) in Northern Italy (I must say it's my hometown) by the Adriatic sea and it's famous all over the world for its mosaics (it's been capital of Western Roman Empire) and in any period of the year is possible to see comitives of tourists from every part of the world that beyond to the pleasure of visiting several basilicas (first of all San Vitale, but also 2 Sant'Apollinare ones, "New" in Via Roma ...
...enter in the center of Ravenna by car, you must park outside (and maybe the parkings are not enough) and then use a rentable bike or by feet to visit it. The center of Ravenna is an example of as ancient (San Vitale and Galla Placidia are approximately 1500 years old) and modern (the shops) can coexist to little distance one from the other. Absolutely to see. San Vitale is the reproduction of another basilica in Istanbul, octagonal shape, and the ... Read review

Ravenna - capital of Italy
Review of Ravenna (Italy) by womble

Advantages: compact, pretty mosiacs
Disadvantages: not overly exciting

Ravenna was, indeed, for a brief time the capital of Italy, but now it is most famous for the roman mosiacs which adorn here. She is a beautiful city, close to the coast, indeed, a good day trip from escapees from the Romagnola Riviera (Rimini being the most famous resort) A very compact city, it is easy to visit most of the more important attractions (these attractions being, primarily, the Roman mosiacs and the Cathedral and surrounding churches), ...
...as an important historical centre, Ravenna does her best to attract tourists, but has none of the rush evident in some of her more well known neighbours. A town that grew from something of a historical curiousity and has retained a charm of a working city, make this a good place to stop for a while. There is enough to see to make it feel worthwhile without too much that you will feel you are missing out if you move on. There are a couple of churches ... Read review

Mosaic Town - Elegant & Modern!
Review of Ravenna (Italy) by heeheehaahaa

Advantages: Mosaic capital, Delicious Food : )
Disadvantages: the weather is hot : (

Ravenna is part of Emilia Romagna, Italy, a region known for its great food. I highly recommend Ravenna to Mosaic enthusiast. It is located at the north-eastern part of Italy. Just south of Venice and East of Bologna. The closest airport is Bologna. One can easily catch the train in Bologna that goes to Ravenna. The trip is about an hour and half. More than eight historical mosaic sites in Ravenna are named in the world cultural heritage site. ...
...form of art expression is highly appreciated by the locals. From hotel lobby artwork, shop's signage, floor mat, window display, door handle, tourist souvenir to interior decorating, are full of mosaic artworks. This is an unique town full of historical monuments and modern shopping areas. It is easy to get around on foot. Tourist can have a bicycle for free. Delicious food with reasonable pricing! There are not too many tourists like Venice or Florence. ... Read review

A Hidden Gem in Emilia Romagna
Review of General: Italy by  innovation123

Advantages: Fantastic Scenery, wonderfully friendly locals, few tourists.
Disadvantages: None

...I am in two minds whether to write this review, having travelled all over Italy I have found a hidden gem and its always tempting to keep this kind of thing to yourself. However it deserves to be shared and discovered. Where am I talking about? The Appennines of Emilia Romagna. Most people only know the region of Emilia Romagna with regard to the main cities of the Po delta, namely, Modenna, Parma, Bologna and if you are a culture vulture maybe Ferrara and Ravenna. There is however so much more to this area of Italy than the cities and the food. So where shall I begin? The Scenery The Appennine region of Emilia Romagna, to the South of the Po Delta is an area of outstanding beauty and dramatic landscape. Unlike the Dolomites it does not have the dramatic main ridge, rather it has many ranges all at different angles over... Read review
