Overnight stay in Ravenna

[luvsun22]

Has anyone stayed in Ravenna the night before a cruise? We’ve been to Venice and while I’d love to visit again, we only have the one night and are considering going to Ravenna direct from the airport to see someplace new. 
 

If anyone has stayed, what do you think? Is it worth it or should we just stay the night in Venice and transfer in the morning?

Ravenna is absolutely worth a day, especially if you've been to Venice. It's a small city, the center is very walkable. There are 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites -- all of them inscribed because of their FANTASTIC mosaics. They are beyond gorgeous, the finest I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot of mosaics in my time lol).  You can buy a ticket that includes 5-6 of the sites, all of them reachable on foot.

 

The food in this area of Italy is also wonderful, so you can count on a great dinner as well.

Thank you! I will definitely check further into staying there.
