Your destination —
Valencia
Valencia is a city full of life, where sunlit plazas meet sleek modern architecture and centuries-old streets invite slow exploration. Smell the fresh oranges at bustling markets, hear the chatter of cafés spilling onto the sidewalks, and feel the warmth of Mediterranean light as it glows across the city’s squares. From the historic old town to the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, every corner offers a moment to discover and enjoy.
Must-sees:
- Mercado Central: One of Europe’s oldest markets, where colourful produce, fresh oranges, and local delicacies bring the city’s vibrant life to your senses.
- Valencia Cathedral & Miguelete Tower: Explore Gothic and Baroque architecture in the historic old town, and climb the tower for sweeping views across the city.

- City of Arts and Sciences: A futuristic complex of sleek buildings, interactive museums, and an impressive aquarium, seamlessly blending creativity, science and innovation.
Culinary culture:
On the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast, Valencia’s culinary scene is alive with colour, flavour, and tradition. From the classic paella sizzling over an open flame to the vibrant stalls of Mercado Central, the city is a sensory delight. Sample fresh seafood, pick up seasonal produce, or enjoy sweet horchata biscuits, all while soaking up the lively chatter of locals. Tapas bars and riverside restaurants offer patatas bravas, anchovies, and artisan cheeses, paired with regional wine or a refreshing Agua de Valencia.
Dive deeper:
Just beyond the city, Valencia’s surroundings come alive with sea, sun, and scenery. Playa de la Malvarrosa and the quieter dunes of El Saler invite long walks and moments of calm, while the shimmering lagoons and rice fields of Albufera Natural Park offer peaceful boat rides and the chance to spot flamingos in flight. Traditional villages like El Palmar serve riverside paella, and nearby Cullera’s cliffs and Sagunto’s ancient ruins reveal dramatic views and give insight into the region’s rich history.
Every March, Valencia bursts into colour and spectacle for Las Fallas. Streets, squares, and neighbourhoods light up with towering, intricate sculptures, vibrant fireworks, and the scent of local delicacies drifting from bustling stalls. Daytime parades, music, and flamethrower displays give way to dramatic nightly firework shows, culminating in the thrilling “cremà,” when the sculptures are set alight, filling the city with warmth, excitement, and unforgettable energy.
Good to know:
Valencia can be enjoyed throughout the year, with each season offering its own charm, from sunlit summer days to mild, peaceful winters. The local currency is the Euro (€), and while cards are widely accepted, having a little cash is handy for markets and small cafés. The city is easy to explore on foot, while buses, trams, and the metro make longer journeys simple, and cycling offers a relaxed, scenic way to get around.
