Overview
Join me on this full-day tour to discover the stunning wonders of Bologna and Ravenna, two cities that have played significant roles in Italy's history.
With its ancient university—the oldest in the Western world—Bologna is a cultural hub of extraordinary importance. We'll explore its most evocative monuments and landmarks in the city center.
Ravenna, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its magnificent early Christian mosaics, offers you the chance to see remarkably well-preserved monuments from the 5th and 6th centuries.
We'll meet in Bologna in the morning to begin our exploration of the city's highlights. Afterwards, we'll catch the train together to Ravenna.
