What you can expect

  • Discover the world-famous mosaics of Ravenna on a small group tour led by an expert local guide. Visit UNESCO World Heritage monuments and learn about their rich history. All tickets are included to explore the stunning Christian and Byzantine mosaics. Join our small groups of max 12 people

    Meet your guide and small group to start your journey with a visit to Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, a stunning basilica known for its colourful mosaics and impressive architecture. See the mosaic panels in the nave of biblical stories from both the Old and New Testaments. Marvel at the craftsmanship and vibrant colours that bring these stories to life.

    Visit the Tomb of Dante, a national monument built in 1781 to honour the famous poet Dante Alighieri. Located next to the Basilica of San Francesco in central Ravenna, this site is full of history. Then, explore the Basilica of San Francesco's underwater mosaics, which reveal more of Ravenna's cultural treasures.

    Continue to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a magnificent monument featuring early Christian art. This UNESCO World Heritage Site will enchant you with its mosaics on the walls and ceiling. The deep blue tones and intricate designs take you back to the 5th century. Admire the beautiful mosaic of the Good Shepherd, a symbol of the Christian faith.

    Next, visit the Basilica of San Vitale, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. The intricate mosaics covering the walls and ceilings will captivate you. Look for the apse mosaic of Emperor Justinian and his court and the stunning mosaic of Empress Theodora. The basilica's octagonal shape and tall dome showcase the architectural skill of the time.

    Conclude your tour with free time to discover the beauty and charm of Ravenna's city centre. Your combined ticket also includes entry to the Neonian Baptistery (self-guided).
