Ravenna
3 things to see
Ravenna holds some of the world’s finest Byzantine mosaics, and one affordable combined ticket covers the cluster of major sites, which keeps a heavyweight UNESCO experience cheap. The compact old town is free to wander on foot, and dining away from the main square stays budget-friendly. Ravenna sits on the Emilia-Romagna rail line between Bologna and the coast, so it pairs easily with Ferrara, Rimini, or a day into Venice. Spring and autumn bring mild weather and thinner crowds at the mosaic sites.
