There are an infinite number of amazing itineraries to discover the area.<\/p>\n Here, where earth and sky meet and merge, you can find artistic, historical and natural treasures. These treasures, together with the city of Ferrara<\/a>, the quintessential Renaissance city, are so valuable that they have been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There is magic in the mosaics of Ravenna<\/a><\/strong>, something that touches you and makes your eyes shine with wonder. Seven of its eight Unesco monuments<\/strong> invite you to travel back in time to discover the richness of this ancient Byzantine and Roman art<\/strong>, while in the artisan workshops of the city centre the tradition lives on in new and contemporary forms.<\/p>\n From the valleys to the Apennines, Emilia Romagna is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths and cycle paths that have evolved from ancient pilgrim routes<\/strong>. Today they are home to new forms of tourism: spiritual, ecological and, above all, slow.<\/p>\n Pack your backpack and set off! Choose one of the possible itineraries<\/a>: the Via Degli Dei, the Via Francigena, the Via Degli Abati, the Via di Linari or the Cammino di Dante<\/strong>.

From the hills of Piacenza to the Adriatic Sea, the choice is yours!<\/p>\n The territory is dotted with small towns<\/strong> of a few hundred souls, waiting for you to discover them, their art, beauty and cultural treasures.<\/p>\n Brisighella, Castell’Arquato, Montegridolfo, Bertinoro, Montefiore Conca and Dozza<\/strong> are just some of the places worth visiting: it’s time to slow down, savour the local culinary tradition and indulge in a good glass of wine from the Enoteca Regionale Emilia Romagna.<\/p>\n Rimini<\/a> has always been known as the city of sun and fun.<\/strong> It is the largest seaside resort on the entire Adriatic coast. You can visit one of the many historical monuments<\/strong> or stroll through the town centre with its wide range of pubs and restaurants. The true soul of the city is hidden in the hinterland<\/strong>.
