It’s hard to pick just one reason why Italy is such an enduringly popular holiday destination, but its history and its art are among the main draws for happy tourists year after year. For any traveller who is inclined towards attractions in those areas, Ravenna is heaven-sent with myriads of things to do and places to see. That’s an appropriate term to use, too, because as with most historic Italian cities, this coastal municipality in the Emilio Romagna region is dotted with old chapels - some more than a millennium old. Anyone who loves a mosaic will find Ravenna to be the finest city they have ever seen, as churches such as the Basilica di San Vitale and Mausoleo de Galla Placidia are adorned with colourful, spectacular tiled patterns. Of course, you’ll need to be at the top of your exploration game if you want to see every tourist place in Ravenna. So, choose any of the great places to stay in Ravenna that fits your travel needs and offers you a good night’s rest.
