Known for its picturesque canals, art scene and Renaissance and Gothic palaces, Venice is so popular with tourists that it’s started charging day-trippers to combat mass tourism. I visited a far less crowded Italian city that rivals Venice for history, remarkable architecture, and food. Located in Italy's culturally rich Emilia-Romagna region, Ravenna offers a fascinating blend of art, churches, and historical landmarks and is much quieter than packed-out Venice—especially off-peak.
Travelling to Ravenna also means getting more value for your money. Accommodation, dining, and attractions are generally more affordable than pricey Venice, making it a budget-friendly destination for your next European break. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
