Three northern cultural cities
ITALY
Bologna, Ravenna and Padua are three jewels in the history of western Europe; they have nurtured civilisation from before the Etruscans, through the Roman empire to the celebration of early Christianity under the Ostrogoth king, Theodoric, and on to the development of urban power and wealth in the Middle Ages. All three cities demonstrate still today their connections with their powerful history and the visitor can witness awe-inspiring works of art and architecture. This fly-rail holiday offers you three nights in each city and includes entrance tickets to the vital sites of interest: in Ravenna to the Mausoleum Galla Placida and the San Vitale Basilica, to the Neonian Baptistery, St Andrew’ s Chapel and the Basilica of Sant’ Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna and the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. There is also plenty of free time to explore and drink in the beauty and charm of each place. This three-city combination is perfect for the autumn and winter months.
