About this tour
Explore Ravenna after dark with a local guide who reveals the city's layered history through evening walks. Over 2.5 hours, you'll navigate the main piazzas—Kennedy, del Popolo, Unità d'Italia—and wander quieter backstreets past the MAR and Palace of Theodoric. The tour focuses on Dante's Quarter, where the poet spent his final years, and you'll hear stories only someone who lives here can tell.

What to expect
This is a walking tour, so you'll be on foot for the full 2.5 hours at a steady pace through the city centre. You'll see the exteriors of key monuments—you won't enter museums or churches, just view them from outside and hear their stories. The guide will pause regularly at squares and along streets to explain Ravenna's role as a Byzantine stronghold and its connection to Dante Alighieri. Expect a mix of open piazzas and narrow medieval lanes; the evening light changes the feel of familiar architecture. The group size is small and personal.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes. The tour doesn't include hotel pick-up or entrance fees to buildings. Public transport is nearby if you need it. Suitable for all fitness levels, though you're walking for 2.5 hours straight, so pace yourself.
