What Ravenna costs
Ravenna has no airport of its own, so every trip in and out is paid through Bologna, and the rest of the day goes on the hotel and tickets.
- Hotel 3*
- €62.50–70 per person in a double room
- Arrival from Bologna airport
- €21.80, about 1 h 20
- Food
- €4.50 street food
Ravenna is reached through Bologna, since its own airport has no regular service: €21.80 per person one way, by monorail and regional train. The hotel is the bigger item per night, and tickets are where a combined pass saves the most.
Item by item
Everything per person, in euros.
Getting to and from Bologna means twice €21.80 a person, before a single euro is spent in Ravenna itself. Inside the city, tickets are where it's easiest to save. The five-monument combined ticket costs less per site than buying separately, and walking the centre costs nothing.
