Enjoy fresh Adriatic seafood or classic Romagna dishes like passatelli and piadina; many Rimini restaurants stay open until 22:30–23:00—reserve if possible for a prompt table.
Scenic evening drive inland to the hilltop town of Pennabilli—expect narrow, winding roads and a drive time of about 1h15–1h30; drive carefully at night.
Explore the Franciscan sanctuary perched on a cliff—see the basilica, chapels and small museum; typical visiting hours are daytime (approx. 08:00–18:30) but verify seasonally.
Stroll nearby woodland trails for quiet panoramas and sites linked to St. Francis—pick a shorter 30–60 minute trail to avoid overextending your afternoon.
Dine on regional specialties (chestnuts, mushrooms, game) and local wines; mountain restaurants generally serve dinner from ~19:00–21:30—reserve if possible.
Begin your Ravenna visits with San Vitale and the jewel-like Mausoleum of Galla Placidia to see iconic Byzantine mosaics; typical opening hours are roughly 09:00–18:00 (seasonal) so check ahead for exact times.
Enjoy Romagnol specialties such as piadina, seafood fritto misto or local antipasti; most lunch services run 12:00–14:30—choose a central spot to save walking time between sites.
Visit the Neonian Baptistery for its early Christian mosaics, then take a short walk to Dante’s Tomb and the nearby monuments celebrating Ravenna’s literary history; many sites are open through mid-afternoon—verify hours.
See Sant'Apollinare Nuovo’s impressive procession mosaics and, time permitting, the adjacent Museo Arcivescovile for additional early-medieval treasures.
Depart Ravenna for Rimini Airport (approx. 45–60 minutes). For an 20:00 flight aim to arrive by about 18:00–18:30 to allow time for check-in and security.
Check in and clear security at Rimini Airport; regional airports are efficient but allow time for baggage drop and boarding—verify luggage rules ahead.
