Sea, architecture and nature: these are the three keywords to keep in mind when it comes to Ravenna, a city that is rich in UNESCO heritage sites which, with their mixture of styles, bring testimony of several different civilizations. Its greatest boast are mosaics, to which an entire museum (the Tamo Museum) is dedicated, as well as a good part of MAR (Museo d’ARte della città), while the National Museum of Ravenna mostly gathers ancient Roman and Byzantine finds. Reading enthusiasts will thrive in the Museo Dante and Museum Byron (bound to open in 2023).
Among Ravenna’s most beautiful religious buildings is the Basilica of San Vitale, a specimen of early Christian architecture with Byzantine influences, featured by lavish tessellated interiors; even more sumptuous are the vaults of the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, covered in blue-green mosaics celebrating the theme of the victory of life over death, and those of Sant’Apollinare in Classe, a few kilometers away from the city center, but equally worth a visit if you’re coming to Ravenna for the first time. Last but not least, the cloister and Basilica of San Francesco also holding the sepulcher of the father of Italian literature, Dante Alighieri.
When traveling to Ravenna, though, don’t leave food behind: the local specialties include various formats of hand-pulled fresh pasta (cappelletti, passatelli, maltagliati and so on), alongside with the piadina (a type of unleavened flat bread with several possible fillings) and the so-called spoja lorda (lit. ‘dirty dough’), a simple, yet scrumptious dish prepared with the leftovers of cappelletti pasta.
Just a bunch of miles away from the Adriatic coast, the Ravenna territory comprises as many as nine seaside resorts than can be easily reached by car. Our Ravenna car hires are indeed often booked by people coming here for their summer holidays and choosing not to resort either to public transport or to their private vehicles – whether because they’re old and run-down or because they aren’t spacey enough or have no air conditioning. Locauto in Ravenna allows you to choose your rental car from a wide array of top-notch models ranging from small electric cars that are eco-friendly and are allowed to enter historic city centers, to muscular SUVs offering room enough for many passengers and their luggage.
Locauto also allows you to pick up and return your vehicle at different locations choosing from the extensive network of rental offices in Emilia-Romagna region and in the rest of Italy based on your itinerary. Alongside with the beaches in the greater Ravenna area, you may want to include in your itinerary other natural destinations such as the Po Delta Park, the Comacchio Valleys and the Ortazzo natural reserve, easy and quick to reach from Ravenna.
At the intersection of the provinces of Ravenna, Rimini and Forlì-Cesena are also many ancient hamlets that are worth visiting: in less than an hour’s drive you can get to the Medieval town of Brisighella, on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, featured by narrow alleys, impressive city walls and stone edifices where food events and historic reenactments often take place. Driving southbound, another remarkable Medieval hamlet you will encounter is Santarcangelo di Romagna, a hilltop town featured by an underground maze of tuff caves.
