Discovering RAVENNA & CITTA DEL CASTELLO: Ep. 83 Ultimate World Cruise: Hidden Gems in Italy

Join us on an incredible Italian adventure as we explore beyond the usual tourist destinations! In this video, we start our journey in Ravenna, Italy, not Venice as many might expect. We rented a car and headed to the charming, lesser-known village of Città di Castello in the picturesque Umbria region. Experience the authentic Italian lifestyle, from the fragrant linden trees to the bustling local piazzas, historic cobblestone streets, and boutique shops.
Discover the cultural richness of Città di Castello, renowned for its high-quality olive oil, wine, and tobacco. We'll also take you through the mesmerizing mosaics of Ravenna, including the mausoleum of Galla Placidia and the Basilica of San Vitale, marveling at their intricate designs and historical significance.
Finally, we head north to Trieste, where we explore the stunning coastline and quaint fishing houses along the jetty. This video is packed with tips for avoiding crowded tourist spots and finding hidden treasures in Italy.

Real charm Italy at her finest. I love these little towns in Italy where it isnt over-run and overpriced for tourists.
In small villages like this you get a true sense of local life.
And what I love so much is siesta. Now thats living!
The piazza and wide areas are super relaxing and it all seems so friendly.

Adding Ravenna to my dream to visit locations... Some years ago I visited Warsaw for work and really envied the way people gathered in the Old Town with friends and family for an afternoon or dinner at a cafe. It felt like such a lovely way to live in community in a way we don't have here in the states. Seeing these Italian locations capture that same sense - thank you.

This was such a beautiful video. The mosaics were amazing and so was your trip to a non touristic destination. So lovely!

Such a lovely video, Italy at it finest! I bet it was incredible to walk through the village of Citta Di Castell, which is beautiful! We are so enjoying watching your videos on your amazing Ultimate World Cruise and so appreciate you taking us along!

Dear Tressa & Zarko
glad you hired a car and escaped to
Citta di Castello beautiful medieval castle town, situated on the Tiber river, where the ancient site of Tifernum Tifernum is,
many famous architectural monument sites are here such as Palazzao.
The cobbled stone streets and paving is
everywhere,
enjoy authentic real italian hand made pasta, Italian meats, cheeses, wines,
and also designer boutiques of Italian best goods, and clothing, nestled into this medieval town. The town is sooo clean, the beauty is like a fairytale and the trees have emerald green leaves that smell like honeysuckle

Awesome!

[@christineshields1714]

Very interesting and informative. We're cruising out of Ravenna next year.

[@lesley-annecarle]

Ravenna took my breath away seeing the beauty.
Yah how is it possible to paint, construct, build, those brilliant artworks of coloured mosaic ceilings?
at
Basilica di San Vitale,
Basilica di Santa Apollinare, and the Mausoleo Galla Placidia, Mausoleo di Teodorico the great
and the Battistero
Bellissimo Italy

That mosaic church was stunning - we stopped doing magnificence in the west, but I'm reminded of the buildings in Abu Dhabi? where you stopped that were equally amazing in a modern opulent (and rather less Christian!) way. I think you made a good choice to avoid Venice - though it's good that they are taking care of Venice by disallowing cruise ships direct access now. It must have been amazing to do but destructive to the lagoon and the city.

Thank you for this, I am getting the Voyager of the seas next year from Ravenna. You have made me realise I need to go earlier and spend a day there before getting on the ship. Those Pizzas looked amazing, can you remember the name of that place as looks a must

[@bztravel]

You're going to have a blast on the Voyager of the Seas! Ravenna definitely deserves a day to explore before you set sail. As for the pizza, those types of places are everywhere in Italy - it's their version of fast food. You’ll find counters with square pans of different pizzas, and you just tell them how big or small a piece you want. They sell it by weight, and trust me, it's the best. They use natural yeast for the dough, making the crust absolutely amazing. Enjoy! 🍕😊

[@MarkSibthorpe-yg8zu]

Thank you.

I don't do Italy.....Anyone try to pickpocket you.........

[@kenexx]

Seriously put your damn seat belts on in the back of a car. Love your videos but this freaks me out every time you do it.
