10 Things to do for Honeymoon in Valencia That You Shouldn't Miss
You’ll find plenty of orange trees here, but the fruit known as the "Valencia orange" was actually developed in California. Travelers interested in local food should focus on paella instead. While the city contains many monuments, Valencia’s modern crown jewel is the City of Arts and Sciences, a futuristic complex of museums, cinemas, theaters, and more.

Fantastic experience learning how to make traditional Paella Valenciana. The class started with an informative trip to the market and then fun instruction on a hands on class. Highly recommend! Nothing that I would change. If you like paella this is a must do. Take some extra time to find the class location unless you are familiar with the city.
5. Parroquia de San Nicolas de Bari y San Pedro Martir
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2,155 reviews
Conocida como la "Capilla Sixtina valenciana”, San Nicolás es uno de los templos más atractivos de la ciudad, con cerca de 2.000 metros cuadrados de pinturas al fresco perfectamente rehabilitadas que dejan al visitante sin aliento. Las espectaculares pinturas que decoran la bóveda suponen el doble de superficie que los frescos que hay en la Capilla Sixtina de Roma. Con más de 700 años de antigüedad, San Nicolás, que ya fue lugar de culto en época romana antes de ser mezquita e iglesia cristiana después, es un claro ejemplo de convivencia perfecta entre un templo de estructura gótica y una espléndida decoración barroca. La visita, gestionada por Menta Valencia, es toda una experiencia sensorial que permite recorrer este espacio tanto con guías especializados como de forma más independiente con el uso de audioguías en varios idiomas.

We visited here after already paying to enter the Silk Museum so missed out on the free entry that the regular 7 euro ticket here grants you. A very informative audio guide provided with the entrance fee that explains the plethora of detailed paintings and murals that cover every surface.

Taking in the Historic City Centre, the Turia River park, the City of Arts & Science, Marina/F1 Circuit and finishing at the Beach!

7. Valencia Cathedral

Sitting in between the two main Plazas of De La Virgen and De La Reina, this Cathedral dominates both squares its impressive Gothic architecture all around and its Migulete Tower which reaches high above the city centre itself. Inside, the Cathedral presents a treasure trove of side chapels, architecture, Goya paintings and a museum with an array of historical religious artifacts which includes a trip into tiny rooms where some archaeological digs have been preserved. Of course, its main treasure is the "Holy Grail" housed in a small chapel in the side where you can sit and gaze and take it in hushed respectful silence. Whether you believe it is the true Holy Grail or not, it is of great historical importance anyway, and a must see when in Valencia. I have been to the Cathedral de Santa Maria (Royal Cathedral in Madrid) and it does not come close to this one. We paid 8 Euro each to enter, and a further 2 Euro for myself to go up the Tower....some might complain about having to pay....but it is worth every penny and more to witness and amaze at such well preserved history.

At 2 euros entrance fee plus a couple more for the audio guide, the Lonja is well worth a visit whilst touring the city. I fully concur with the other reviews I have read about this charming place.

The Ágora gives the complex a multifunctional space.

It can be difficult to wrap your head around the City of the Arts and Sciences. The attraction is a staggering ensemble of ultra-modern structures that are given an ethereal quality by the reflecting pools that surround them. The whole thing was started in the mid-90s and the finishing touches were made in 2005. Within these gargantuan buildings are cultural venues and first-class family attractions like L’Hemisfèric, a planetarium and IMAX Cinema, or the breathtaking L’Umbracle, a botanical collection of plant species native to Valencia.

Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This part of the city really is beautiful - the heart of the medieval old town and close to the Cathedral and all the main tourist sites. The architecture and the atmosphere are extraordinary - and always busy and bustling, except perhaps in Covid (I visited long before this). You can really get a feel for the city here by walking around and exploring all the narrow little streets. The area also boasts some of the city's finest restaurants for both in and outdoors dining - I had a lovely Spanish style ham, egg and chips in a restaurant by the Cathedral. There are plenty of places too for trying the famous Aqua da Valencia, which packs quite a punch.
