three times a capital, with the gold mosaics of San Vitale and of Galla Placidia, Dante's tomb in the zone of silence, the Classe pine forest and, towards the sea, the Cervia salt pans with their flamingos
Ravenna stands on the plain, eight kilometres from the Adriatic. It has been a capital three times: of the Western Roman Empire, from 402, of the Gothic kingdom of Theodoric, and of the Byzantine Exarchate, until 751. From those centuries eight monuments remain, which UNESCO put on the World Heritage List in 1996, with the most famous mosaics in the world: brick outside, gold inside, and the starry sky of Galla Placidia; they are an experience on this page. Dante spent his last years here, and died here in 1321: his tomb is behind the basilica of San Francesco, in the zona del silenzio, the zone of silence, and every evening at six someone reads a canto of the Comedy. The centre is small and flat, and you get round it on foot or by bicycle, with the Venetians' piazza del Popolo and its cafés. To the south, at Classe, was the harbour of the Roman fleet: today there is the basilica of Sant'Apollinare with its round bell tower, in the middle of the fields, and beyond it the pine forest that Dante remembers in Purgatory. Towards the sea there are the beach resorts, and at Cervia the salt pans with the flamingos. With a motorhome there is a municipal area with toilets, in piazza della Resistenza, open all year a quarter of an hour on foot from the mosaics.
Sleeping
Stops and overnight stays
In the city there are two places for motorhomes with water filling and emptying: piazza della Resistenza, paying, a kilometre from the centre, open all year with toilets, and piazza Fratelli Minardi, free, near the Mausoleum of Theodoric. At Classe there is a car park for motorhomes next to the basilica. At the beach resorts the Comune has the area at Marina di Ravenna and the Pro Loco, the local tourist association, the one at Porto Corsini; at Cervia the Comune's areas are free. In winter the safe place with services is piazza della Resistenza.

San Vitale and piazza del Popolo are a kilometre away, a quarter of an hour on foot, with the cycle path, and it is the place that the Diocese itself recommends for the tour of the mosaics. Between September and October 2026 travellers describe quiet nights until the rubbish lorry at six, and the places full by 18:00 even in low season. The waste dump is a single grate, in the coach car park, and in past years some people found it blocked. In 2026 there is a new toilet block; whether it has showers, the accounts disagree. In winter you can stay, from November to January, and the toilets were open during the day. On Monday and Thursday afternoons there is the farmers' market, and the square is busier

Experiences from here
What we did starting from here, ordered by driving time.
In Ravenna you eat piadina, the Romagna flatbread, thicker here than in Rimini, cooked in kiosks and filled with squacquerone, the soft fresh cheese of Romagna, with rocket. In winter, on Sundays and at Christmas, there are cheese cappelletti, small filled pasta, in capon broth, and passatelli, made of breadcrumbs, cheese and eggs pressed through the iron straight over the broth. From Cervia comes the sweet salt, which is a Slow Food Presidium, and the wines are Sangiovese, Albana from the hills of Faenza and Burson, the red of Bagnacavallo. For passatelli in a motorhome you do not need the iron: a potato ricer is enough.
knead the breadcrumbs with the parmesan, the eggs and the nutmeg into a firm dough, neither too soft nor too hard
cover it and leave it to rest for about half an hour
press the dough through the passatelli iron, or through a potato ricer with large holes
cut the passatelli between 4 and 8 centimetres long and spread them on a tray lined with paper; if they fall apart, add a couple of tablespoons of flour to the dough
cook them in boiling broth and lift them out with a slotted spoon when they begin to rise, before they come fully to the surface
