All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather without summer's crushing heat. Temperatures hover around 18-24°C, ideal for walking between basilicas. September and October work equally well – warm days, cool evenings, and fewer Italian families on vacation. July and August turn brutal, with temperatures hitting 35°C and humidity that makes mosaic-viewing feel like endurance sport. But crowds stay manageable even in peak summer since most tourists skip Ravenna entirely. Winter brings frequent rain and temperatures around 5-10°C, though heated churches provide cozy refuges. The Ravenna Festival runs June through July, filling the city with classical music and opera performances in historic venues. Book accommodation early during festival season – prices jump 30-40%.
