Discover Valencia
Valencia combines one of Spain’s most rewarding city breaks with a major Mediterranean passenger port offering direct vehicle ferries to the Balearic Islands.
Valencia’s historic centre is centred on the cathedral, Plaza de la Virgen and a maze of lanes opening onto grand squares and markets. The Gothic Silk Exchange and Central Market are among the city’s essential sights.
The City of Arts and Sciences provides a striking modern contrast, with futuristic architecture, museums, an aquarium and landscaped public spaces along the former Turia riverbed.
Turia Gardens form a green corridor through the city and are ideal for walking or cycling between central neighbourhoods and the City of Arts and Sciences. The route continues towards the Mediterranean waterfront.
Valencia’s beaches, including Malvarrosa and Las Arenas, are broad and easily reached from the centre. The nearby marina and Cabanyal district add restaurants, traditional streets and a strong seaside atmosphere.
Food is a major part of the experience. Valencia is closely associated with paella, while the Central Market, tapas bars and rice restaurants make it easy to build a short stay around local cuisine.
The Port of Valencia is also one of mainland Spain’s key Balearic gateways. Baleària, Trasmed and GNV publish routes from Valencia to Palma and Ibiza, with Trasmed also listing Mahón and connecting options to Formentera.
