With a population of just 155,751, Ravenna is no bustling metropolis. The former Roman capital's rich history is undeniable, but the persistent bureaucracy and occasional flooding are headaches for the modern resident. While Ravenna boasts UNESCO-listed Byzantine architecture and a lively cultural scene, the city's inland location and industrial zones can feel a world away from the picturesque Adriatic coast. Ultimately, Ravenna may appeal most to history buffs and those seeking a slower pace of life, rather than young professionals or families seeking big-city amenities.
