For the love of Mosaics

There are people I know who skipped Ravenna altogether because nothing that they read or saw over the internet excited them much. You see sometimes you have to allow places time. The way i felt after i arrived in Ravenna and the day touring those brilliant mosaics, some of which are over a thousand years old. You'd have no doubt that Ravenna should be part of your trip. Another challenge tends to be for those seeking a day trip alternative that this region is somewhat far from your Rome, venice or Florence. To which I'd say if you have the time why not come stay a night or two and then steer your trip with other advantages of this location. You can very easily devote an entire day to walking around to all the churches. Another relaxing day can be spent appreciating the mosaics and trying out food and culinary offerings. I would even recommend indulging in some cycling around the old town. I assure you this will be a great experience. None of that street people, sellers and marketers bother you like in bigger cities. #myhiddengems #italy #100waysoftravel #summerdestinations #europe #cherryblossom2024 #ravenna #oldtown #mosaics #singapore
