Plaza del mercado y Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange)

Like a trip to the past where you won’t want to come back: this is how you will feel when you visit Valencia's Central Market. Located in a magnificent pre-modernist building, there are stalls serving top-quality food and a charming je ne sais quoi all around the area's markets. Just in front of the market is Lonja de la Seda, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is a must when visiting Valencia, as well as Santos Juanes Church just a few metres away.

Valencia is also all about art. And there are 34 museums! Culture activities are always a great idea as they make us think, feel and consider life from a different perspective. Enjoy the city's history, architecture and master pieces by famous artists from different eras, such as Goya or Sorolla at the Fine Arts Museum San Pío V. Visit the delightful National Museum of Ceramics in the Palace of Marqués de Dos Aguas. If you like contemporary art, you cannot miss out on IVAM, Centre del Carme or MUVIM.

Plaza del Ayuntamiento

Full of light and flower shops. The Square perfectly summaries the city's essence. It is joyful and full of colour, and its central fountain is surrounded by flowers and people wanting to immortalise the moment. There are majestic buildings nearby, such as Correos, a real treasure, the Estación del Norte train station, or the Town Hall itself that is the heart from which everything flows. Gunpowder and music in Fallas, a great atmosphere all year round, horchata stalls, theatres, restaurants and... lots of charm.

The Valencia's Marina and beaches

It is impossible to think about the city on the River Turia without mentioning the Marina and the beaches. It is a must to take a walk around the new trendy seafaring neighbourhood, El Cabanyal. A paella overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, sunbathing (luckily the sun is out almost all year round), an ice cream or a drink with friends at such a privileged place...these are just some of the cool things you can do in Valencia. Visit the port and see the 19th-century storage facilities (Tinglados), Edificio del Reloj (Clock Building) and Veles e Vents restaurant. You will love watching the sunset on one of the bar terraces.

The Albufera Nature Park

One of our favourite spots is only 10 kilometres away from the city: La Albufera Natural Park. Pure nature, dreamy sunsets, boat rides and being able to completely switch off for a while. Like an oasis surrounded by rice fields and forests. You should visit it if you want to understand the origins of Valencian cuisine. It will be magical. Will you let yourself fall in love with the area?

The Turia Garden

Valencia's green lungs crosses the city with a 9-kilometre long garden. Welcome to the Turia Garden! The old river course from the Turia River is now a large green space full of pedestrians, cyclists and people doing sports. If we go from one end to another, not only can we see true nature in an urban setting, but we can also find great monuments, such as Palau de la Música or the City of Arts and Sciences. It is a remarkable privilege!

The City of Arts and Sciences

When the City of Arts and Sciences was opened in 1998, it seemed like something from a sci-fi film, but it is one of Valencia's most important signature buildings. And it is inevitable that this would happen, as Santiago Calatrava's architecture is charming. Hemisfèric, Science Museum, Umbracle, Oceanogràfic, Palau de les Arts, Ágora and the Assut d’or Bridge are seven monumental buildings that make up the City of Arts and Sciences. They are so special that each one will impress you. Discover them all!
