What Ravenna Mosaics Tickets get you
The 5-monument pass
One combined ticket, valid for the day of your visit, that opens the doors to all five UNESCO monuments of the Opera di Religione della Diocesi di Ravenna: San Vitale, Galla Placidia, Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Neonian Baptistery, and the Chapel of St. Andrew. Delivered as an e-voucher — exchanged for the official diocesan tickets when you arrive.
The guided tour
A licensed local guide walks you through 3 or 5 UNESCO monuments in 2 or 3 hours. Skip-the-line entry included, whisper-headset audio, small group. This is how you actually understand what you're looking at — Ravenna's mosaics are richly symbolic and easy to walk past without help.
What you'll see with your Ravenna Mosaics tickets
All five UNESCO monuments are covered by the combined pass. Timed-slot entry is mandatory at Galla Placidia, the Neonian Baptistery and the Chapel of St. Andrew.
The octagonal masterpiece consecrated in 547 AD — walls covered in gold mosaic and the famous imperial panels of Emperor Justinian and Empress Theodora facing each other across the presbytery.
The tiny brick mausoleum from the first half of the 5th century whose barrel vaults and dome carry a cobalt-blue night sky pierced by golden stars — the mosaic that made Ravenna famous. Timed slot required; 5-minute stay inside to protect the microclimate.
Built by Ostrogoth king Theoderic the Great in the early 6th century as a palatine chapel. Home to one of the longest and most impressive mosaic cycles of the life of Christ in the world, running the length of the nave.
The oldest surviving of Ravenna's monuments — a 5th-century octagonal baptistery completed under Bishop Neon. Its dome mosaic shows the baptism of Christ ringed by the twelve apostles, one of the oldest complete mosaic domes in the Christian world. Timed slot required; 5-minute stay.
The private chapel of the bishops of Ravenna, hidden inside the Archiepiscopal Museum next to the cathedral. Home to the ivory Throne of Maximian and mosaic vaults featuring 101 species of birds. Timed slot required.
Ravenna Mosaics tickets — with or without a guide?
The combined pass gets you in. A guided tour makes the mosaics make sense.
Booking Ravenna Mosaics tickets — three things to know
Small print worth reading so nothing surprises you at the door.
Some monuments have timed entry
The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Neonian Baptistery, and the Chapel of St. Andrew all require a booked time slot. Your stay inside Galla Placidia and the Baptistery is capped at 5 minutes — the microclimate needs protecting.
Silence, covered shoulders
These are working places of worship. Shoulders and knees must be covered, no flash photography, no food or drink inside. Whisper-system audio is required for guided groups larger than 15.
Book the tour with your own headphones
The guided tour uses radio receivers — bring wired earphones with a jack plug. The receiver hangs around your neck, the guide speaks softly into a mic, and you hear them even in busy monuments without disturbing others.

"Very knowledgeable guide with a sense of humour. Really enjoyed it."
"The five slots weren't grouped on the same part of the day — we ended up splitting the visit across two days. Would prefer more control over timings."
