Must-sees in Valencia
While the holidays are all about relaxing, they’re also an opportunity to get out and about and make new discoveries. And there’s no shortage of things to do on a trip to Valencia in Spain. Here’s just a glimpse of the activities and attractions that await you during your holiday on the Mediterranean coast:
• Amazing excursions: treat yourself to a guided tour to learn all about the city’s remarkable history. From the historic El Carmen district, Valencia’s old town, the vast Turia Gardens or the Museum of Fine Arts, you’ll certainly broaden your horizons! Next, to discover Valencia from the coast, how about a boat trip? Picture yourself there – basking in the beauty of the coast, the dazzling blues of the Mediterranean and the sun’s warm glow.
• Culture and history everywhere you look: the city, which was once under Muslim rule, has a long and vibrant history. This rich past is embodied in Valencia Cathedral, a magnificent blend of architectural styles. Another must-see landmark is the Lonja de la Seda, the city’s former silk exchange, built in pure Gothic style. If you have a passion for culture, head for the Museum of Arts and Sciences, an ultra-modern complex packed with sights and attractions, including the Oceanogràfic, Europe’s largest aquarium. Finally, immerse yourself further in the city and soak up the atmosphere of Valencia at the Mercado Central, a sprawling covered market, then the emblematic Plaza de la Virgen square.
• Natural wonders: we highly recommend a visit to the Valencia Bioparc, a wildlife park that recreates the natural habitat of the species that live there. Valencia lies within a gorgeous natural environment offering a welcome change of pace and a chance to unwind. This is thanks in no small part to its many parks (Turia Gardens, the Benlliure Museum Gardens, Hesperides Park), and the sublime Albufera Natural Park with a vast freshwater lagoon, located on the outskirts of Valencia.
And, of course, we mustn’t ignore all the activities that make Spain so alluring: flamenco shows, tapas evenings and tucking into the famous Valencia paella.
