Brisighella and Beyond: Family-Friendly Excursions

Thanks to its strategic location, Brisighella is an excellent starting point for excursions suitable for the whole family.

If you’re short on time and don’t want to venture too far from Brisighella, FAENZA is the ideal destination, located just 12 km away. Known as the "City of Ceramics," Faenza remains a hub of modern ceramic culture and tradition, with its International Museum of Ceramics hosting stunning collections from every era and country. But Faenza is more than ceramics—it’s enriched by architectural and urban gems, like its magnificent Cathedral, one of the finest examples of Renaissance art in Romagna.


42 km from Brisighella is RAVENNA, world-famous for its mosaics.

As the last capital of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century and the first city of Theoderic's Gothic Kingdom, Ravenna preserves a wealth of monuments that showcase its political, commercial, and artistic prominence through the ages.


FLORENCE, 88 km away, is a cultural center of immense importance, offering unparalleled artistic treasures. Its museums, churches, and palaces house priceless works of art, making a visit to Florence a journey through the history of art itself.


Florence, Faenza, and Ravenna can all be explored in a single day. They are accessible by car or via the charming train route connecting them.


For those passionate about medieval villages, DOZZA, just 35 km from Brisighella, is a must-visit. This open-air art gallery in Bologna province features house walls adorned with spectacular murals and vibrant artwork. As one of Italy’s "Most Beautiful Villages," Dozza offers a magical stroll through its colorful streets.


BOLOGNA, the capital of Emilia Romagna, is just 1 hour by train or a 45-minute drive from Brisighella. Known as "La Dotta, La Rossa, La Grassa" (The Learned, The Red, The Fat), Bologna boasts one of the oldest universities, a lively cultural scene, its signature red rooftops, and world-renowned cuisine. Explore spiritual landmarks like the Basilica of San Luca and the Seven Churches, as well as its vibrant gastronomic and artistic heritage.


For those who wish to combine sea and hills in one trip, CERVIA, only 1 hour by car, is a perfect choice. Beyond its long, white beaches, Cervia offers boat excursions in the Saline, family adventures at the Cerviavventura park, spa treatments at the thermal baths, and thrilling fun at Mirabilandia theme park.


Nearby, you can visit other coastal gems like CESENATICO, the glamorous MILANO MARITTIMA, and MARINA DI RAVENNA, known for its vibrant nightlife.





The Romagna coast is dotted with beach establishments offering pools, sunbeds, showers, and more. Free beaches are also available, often with lifeguard services.
