How to book a taxi in Ravenna

Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of RA

To book a taxi in Ravenna, call the radio taxi at 0544 33888 or use the itTaxi app. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.

In Ravenna, the simplest way to find a taxi is to call Radiotaxi Ravenna (Cooperativa Ravenna Uno) directly at 0544 33888, operating 24 hours a day, every day of the year, or to book through the official "Radio Taxi Ravenna 33888" app or TaxiMove, both available on iOS and Android. The city doesn't have large taxi fleets like major metropolitan areas, so rides should be booked with some advance notice, especially at night (00:00-06:59) or on summer weekends when demand toward Marina di Ravenna and the coast increases. For those arriving by plane, the closest airport is Forlì (about 29 km away), with a municipal flat taxi fare of about 75€, while international flights more often connect through Bologna (about 85 km away). Besides the local Radiotaxi, the itTaxi and appTaxi apps also work in Ravenna, useful for booking and paying directly from your smartphone; Uber, FreeNow, Wetaxi and BTaxi, however, don't appear to offer reliable coverage in the city. Also worth keeping in mind is the ZTL (limited traffic zone) in the historic center, monitored by SIRIO cameras, which licensed taxis can generally cross to serve clients heading to the UNESCO monuments or hotels downtown.

Apps to call a taxi in Ravenna

Uber — Uber Black (NCC) does not appear to be active in Ravenna: according to Uber itself, in Italy the Black service operates in only 7 cities (Milano, Roma, Bologna, Firenze, Torino, Catania, Palermo). The generic "city" pages on Uber.com list Ravenna only as an SEO landing page, not as proof of actual coverage: always check in the app before relying on the service.	Not available
FreeNow — There is no confirmed taxi coverage in Ravenna: FreeNow in Italy focuses on major cities (Milano, Roma, Torino, Napoli, Palermo, Catania, Cagliari). Check availability directly in the app before relying on the service.	Not available
itTaxi — Ravenna explicitly appears in the official list of covered cities on the itTaxi.it website: it's therefore a real alternative to the Radiotaxi for booking through the app with in-app payment.	Available
Wetaxi — Wetaxi's real-time taxi booking is active only in Roma, Milano, Torino, Napoli and Alessandria: Ravenna is not covered for ride requests.	Not available
appTaxi — appTaxi has a dedicated page for Ravenna (apptaxi.it/ravenna) with GPS location, one-click requests and in-app payment by card or Satispay: it's one of the apps that's actually usable in the city, along with the local Radiotaxi app.	Available
BTaxi — BTaxi does not cover Ravenna: the app is active only in Torino, Bologna, Alessandria, Empoli, Genova and Barcelona.	Not available

Taxi from the airport

Aeroporto di Forlì "Luigi Ridolfi" (FRL) · ~29 km from the center

Taxi fare: The Municipality of Ravenna introduced (from 1 June 2024) a flat taxi fare of about 75€ for the Ravenna-Forlì Airport route (source: municipal fare update, reported by several local news outlets). The closest airport overall is Forlì (FRL, about 29 km away), but the main flight connections mostly go through Bologna (BLQ, about 85 km away): for this latter route there is no fixed municipal fare, so it's best to agree on the price or ask the app for an estimate before leaving.

Note: the 75€ flat fare is the one applied by licensed Ravenna taxis toward Forlì airport. In the opposite direction (from Forlì to Ravenna), the Radiotaxi di Forlì states on its own website an estimate of about 55€, based on the average meter fare rather than a fixed agreed rate: always confirm with the driver before departing.

Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)

The historic center of Ravenna is largely a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), monitored by the SIRIO camera system since 2007: some streets (via Di Roma, via Guaccimanni, via Baccarini, via Rondinelli, via Guerrini, via Cavour, via Ponte Marino) are closed 24 hours a day, others (via Mariani, via Matteucci) from 7:30 to 20:30. Licensed taxis, as authorized public service vehicles, can generally enter to pick up/drop off clients; private cars staying at a hotel inside the ZTL, on the other hand, need a permit from the hotel or from the Polizia Municipale (via D'Alaggio 3, permessi@comune.ra.it, tel. 0544 482937).

Practical tips

For night rides (midnight-7:00) or to reach the airport/station early in the morning, book the Radiotaxi with some advance notice: the cooperative explicitly recommends this on its website to guarantee availability.
The UNESCO sites are spread across several locations: San Vitale, the Mausoleo di Galla Placidia and Sant'Apollinare Nuovo are within walking distance in the historic center, but Sant'Apollinare in Classe is about 5 km outside the city — it's worth arranging a round trip with waiting time with the taxi instead of having to find one for the return journey.
For Marina di Ravenna, Porto Corsini and the coast (especially during the summer high season and on weekends), it's better to book in advance: these are areas far from the center, and taxi demand rises quickly on summer evenings.
The Municipality updated fares from 1 June 2024, with a minimum daytime fare of 7,50€ and a night/holiday fare of 9,50€, plus fixed flat fares for the cruise port (Porto Corsini, about 40€) and Forlì airport (about 75€): always ask the driver to confirm the fare applied.
The historic center is largely a ZTL with SIRIO cameras active even 24 hours a day on some streets: if your hotel is inside the ZTL, arriving by (authorized) taxi avoids the permit issue required for private cars.

Frequently asked questions

How do you call a taxi in Ravenna?

The most direct way is to phone Radiotaxi Ravenna (Cooperativa Ravenna Uno) at 0544 33888, active 24 hours a day every day of the year, holidays included. Alternatively, you can use the official "Radio Taxi Ravenna 33888" app or the TaxiMove app, both available on iOS and Android: just a few taps to see the assigned taxi's number and the estimated waiting time.

How much does a taxi from Ravenna to Forlì airport cost?

With the municipal fare adjustment in effect since 1 June 2024, a ride in Ravenna starts at 7,50€ minimum daytime fare (or 9,50€ at night/on holidays) plus 1,70€/km, but for Forlì airport there's a flat fare of about 75€. Either way, it's worth always asking the driver to confirm the fare when booking, especially if traveling at night.

Can you use Uber in Ravenna?

Not reliably: Uber Black (the only type of Uber active in Italy, based on NCC/private hire) officially operates in only 7 Italian cities — Milano, Roma, Bologna, Firenze, Torino, Catania and Palermo — and Ravenna is not one of them. To book from an app, it's best to use itTaxi or appTaxi, both connected to locally licensed taxis, or to call the Radiotaxi directly.

How do you get by taxi to the UNESCO mosaics of Ravenna, including Sant'Apollinare in Classe?

San Vitale, the Mausoleo di Galla Placidia and Sant'Apollinare Nuovo are all in the historic center and are easily reached on foot once you're downtown. Sant'Apollinare in Classe, on the other hand, is located about 5 km south of the city: it's convenient to take a taxi (or arrange a round trip with waiting time with the Radiotaxi) to reach it without depending on bus schedules.

Can taxis enter the ZTL in Ravenna's historic center?

Ravenna's ZTL covers most of the historic center, with some streets closed 24 hours a day and others only during the day, monitored by the SIRIO camera system. Licensed taxis, as authorized public service vehicles, can generally pass through to pick up or drop off clients; those staying at a hotel inside the ZTL with their own car, however, must request a permit from the hotel or from the Polizia Municipale (permessi@comune.ra.it).
