Valencia combines an ancient city, expansive beaches, modern architecture, and local cuisine. It offers a more relaxed urban vacation compared to Barcelona and provides enough interest for a long weekend or several days.
What to See in Valencia?
Start in the old city, at the main square and market. The City of Arts and Sciences is the most iconic complex associated with Valencia and is also suitable for families. You can combine your visit with the Turia Gardens, a long park built on the old riverbed.
The Beaches of Valencia
Malvarrosa Beach and the promenade are accessible from the center by public transport. In summer, it’s advisable to arrive early, and in all seasons, check sea conditions and swimming flags.
What to Eat?
Valencia is considered the birthplace of paella. Check the dish’s ingredients in advance, especially for those who keep kosher, vegetarians, and those with allergies. At the central market, you can explore local ingredients without ordering a full meal.
How Many Days and Where to Stay?
Three days are enough for the main sites and the beach. The old city is walkable, and the Ruzafa area is suitable for restaurants and nightlife. Check for noise and distance from a transport station before booking.
When to Visit?
Spring and fall are pleasant for touring. Summer is hotter and more humid, and during the Las Fallas Festival, the city is crowded. Updated information is available on the official tourism site of Valencia.
