As per tradition, during the holiday season there are many CHRISTMAS MARKETS in the streets and piazzas of the historical centre.
Another good occasion to visit Ravenna and its Unesco World Heritage Monuments while buying something under the twinkling Christmas lights.
From hand-made products to food and wine, from the ever-present candies to gift items – the various exhibitors are ready to offer you many ideas for your Christmas presents.
Warm-heartedness, festive atmosphere, colours, lights, sounds and smells – all the ingredients for Christmas in Ravenna.
During the Christmas holidays, from December 1st to 27th all parking areas managed by Azimut on behalf of the municipality will be free of charge from 4.30 pm, except for the one in piazza Baracca, which will be free from 6.30 pm.
