What To Expect
Battistero Neoniano (Battistero degli Ortodossi)
The octagonal shape of the Byzantine baptisteries has a strong symbolic value, with the eight sides representing the seven days of creation and the eighth day of resurrection and eternal life, thus connecting to the sacrament of Baptism. At the center of the baptistery is the baptismal font, also octagonal in shape and dating back to the Renaissance era. Ticket Cost: 10,5 € (include also other monuments)
Basilica di San Francesco
Originally dedicated to the Holy Apostles and later to Saint Peter, the Basilica of San Francesco dates back to the mid-5th century AD. Little remains of the original early Christian church due to numerous renovations over the centuries. We will see also Dante Alighieri's Tomb!

5.00The narratives were excellent. We used two phones, one for directions and one for the audio. Walking is required of course but very doable. I highly recommend this self guided tour.

4.00A very good introduction to the major sites in Ravenna. Absolutely worth the 8 e. Remember though, the admission fees to the sites are NOT included. Fortunately we purchased them online the night before - this saved us time from the long queues just to buy the ticket; and then there’s another queue to get into the venue. Another tip is to arrive well before the designated time as you do have to queue just to get in. Despite it being the low season ( we visited in early march) the sites were busy. The good thing about the audio guide, is you can do the tour at your pace and in whatever order you prefer. At a spritely pace, we saw all the sites recommended in the guide and spent a goodly amount of time exploring inside the UNESCO venues, in 5 hours. It’s a bit of a hike to Theodoric’s mausoleum so best to leave 1/2 hour to walk there from the center and leave that to the last.
Loved it
