Hi all

After many years going to the South of France, the wife has decided she would like to holiday in another country(Italy).

I have done some minimal research so far.

Has anyone been to a place called Ravenna?

If so, what could you tell me about it?

Thanks

Not been there. It appears to be famous for mosaics. Maybe tag it on to a trip to the Cote d'Azur?

Skirted it in 2017 on our way from Venice to Urbino. Don't know about the old town but a very large and not so pretty industrial area to the north east

I've not been to Ravenna, but having had a quick Google it seems like a fascinating place, especially for those with an interest in Roman / Byzantine history.
Let us know what it's like if you go there.

TripAdvisor also talks of the Byzantine Empire, plus mosaics & Dante’s grave (if that’s of interest). Not been to that particular town but the ugly industrial stuff will be on the outside, the centre looks gorgeous in the TA photos.

Hi, Is there a reason why Ravenna? Doesn’t seem an obvious first visit type of place.

We went there on a day trip from Bologna by train some years ago, it was a Sunday in February so fairly quiet (we weren't camping). Remember it being nice, though can't think of anything that stood out.

I do regret not going a little further along the coast to Cesenatico to the Marco Pantani Museum though.

Ravenna was just a place that came up with a campsite and coastal.

We've toured Tuscany, staying in Volterra and used it as a base. Loved every aspect of this region...especially Firenze.Then we discovered the north end of Garda...Limone, so beautiful and you can still visit Verona and Venice from there.

We're heading for Limone next Thursday, with a stop over in a beautiful hotel in Eguisheim in the Alsace.

Can't recommend any coastal areas as they're not our thing.

Emiglia Romana looks beautiful....enjoy it.
Being quatro Italiano I am biased.
Ma nona grew up nr Turin although born in Bern.

Love the cukture...the food, the wine, the warm nature of the people especially when you speak Italian...they appreciate the effort, something Brits are shamefully ignorant of at times.....not eveyone but we have a poor reputation for not making the effort.
