Valencia is a city rich in culture, history, and Mediterranean charm! Here are some tips on how best to enjoy your stay here:

Valencia is considered the birthplace of paella, and this culinary masterpiece is deeply woven into the city's identity. Most restaurants offer a variety of paella dishes, from the traditional Valencian paella with rabbit and chicken to seafood paella with fresh catch from the Mediterranean. To truly connect with local traditions, head to a bustling paella restaurant at lunchtime and enjoy the flavours of this iconic dish.

The City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic architectural cultural centre, is one of Valencia's top attractions. You could spend all day exploring this vast complex, which includes the Hemisfèric, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum, and the Oceanogràfic. Make sure to book your tickets in advance to avoid long lines, especially in summer and ensure you have ample time to discover the wonders of science, art, and marine life.

Valencia's Turia Gardens are unique in that they are located where the Turia river once flowed. Now it is a beautiful green space that winds through the city, offer a refreshing escape from the urban hustle. Take a leisurely walk or rent a bike to explore the gardens, and enjoy the lush greenery, playgrounds, and sports facilities. It extends from the City of Arts and Sciences at one end to the Bioparc Valencia zoo at the other.

Like all bis Spanish cities, it wouldn't be right if you didn't visit the central market. Valencia's central market is no different, offering a vibrant food culture at one of Europe's largest fresh produce markets. Explore the colorful stalls brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, and local specialties. It's a sensory delight that allows you to connect with Valencian gastronomy at its best.

When visiting Valencia's city centre, you don't see many signs that youare on the Mediterranean: the beaches are a short bus or tram ride from the centre. However, they are certainly worth a visit: the beaches such as Malvarrosa and El Cabanyal are stunning, and offer a perfect escape to the Mediterranean coastline.
