OVERVIEW

Valencia is a major city on Spain’s eastern coast, with a historic centre, residential neighbourhoods and modern cultural districts extending towards the sea. Trade, agriculture and regional identity shape its character. The relationship between historic markets, mediterranean beaches and bold modern architecture in a large city balancing tradition with design and city gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Food, architecture and beach time provide exceptional variety, while cycling and public transport make movement straightforward, while the city feels spacious and lively. Spending time with both historic markets and mediterranean beaches and bold modern architecture in a large city balancing tradition with design reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.

THINGS TO DO

Trace local history at Jardí de Montfort

History

2–4 hours

Find Valencia’s best-known beaches

Spend time at Valencia’s best-known beaches rather than treating every nearby beach as interchangeable. Swimming conditions, access and facilities can vary, so check locally before entering the water.

Beaches

2–5 hours

Cycle Valencia’s principal route

Choose a cycling route around Valencia’s principal cycling route that matches your fitness and the available time. Check gradients, surfaces and traffic rather than judging the ride by distance alone.

Taste local food around The Market Craft Beer

Use The Market Craft Beer as a starting point for tasting food connected to Valencia, choosing regional dishes or produce rather than a generic international meal. Opening days may shape the plan.
