Beaches & parks
Marina di Ravenna beach
A long sandy beach with bathing establishments, just across the harbour canal from Porto Corsini by the small local ferry. Check ferry times locally.
Porto Corsini cruise terminal
Run by Ravenna Civitas Cruise Port. A seasonal tourist information point (IAT Mobile, Via Lamone 18) operates in Porto Corsini in summer.
Getting into town
Cruise lines usually sell a shuttle bus to central Ravenna (about 25 to 30 minutes). Ravenna Incoming (visitravenna.it) sells a shared shuttle to the tourist office in Piazza San Francesco, often with a guided tour. Start Romagna bus 90 runs from a stop about 500 m from the terminal to Ravenna railway station, but it is infrequent, so check times before relying on it. Taxis are also available.
Step-free
The city centre is flat with pedestrian streets; check terminal and shuttle access with your cruise line.
