Piazzas, palazzi, mosaics & frescoes and more! 🇮🇹
Emilia-Romagna's Bologna and Ravenna boast wonderful but different artistic and cultural landmarks. Bologna is a jumble of atmospheric streets lined with red brick and arcades, leading to magnificent Renaissance palazzi and medieval piazzas; whilst Ravenna has quiet antique lanes lined with an eclectic mix of late Roman and early Byzantine architecture. Join art historian Clare Ford-Wille to discover the architecture of these glorious cities, and art including 16th century frescoes and the finest set of Byzantine mosaics in the world.

Escorted Tours for the Discerning Traveller

Travel Editions was set up with the intention of offering a range of cultural short breaks and extended tours which would appeal to 'travellers' not 'tourists' and whose itineraries were not readily available on the high street – the legion of loyal customers that travel with us year after year shows that this philosophy is succeeding! As the years have passed, our range of tours has developed and diversified. Our philosophy remains the same however: 'to offer the benefits of group travel but to treat every customer as an individual'
