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.

The first brewpub and bottle shop in Albir. Great choice of craft beers, from the soft easy drinking lager to heavy Imperial IPA. Also wine on tap. Choose your favorite and take home with you in our 1L refillable bottles, filled with CO2 to avoid any oxidation of our freshly poured draft ales.

Miguel is doing a fantastic job running this bar. A 'must' place to visit in Albir if you like real ale
5. Valencia Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,204 reviews
Reviewed By MurrayBhoy - West Kilbride, United Kingdom
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.
7. Museu Faller de Valencia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 987 reviews
The Fallero de Valencia Museum, with 121,000 visitors in 2018, has become one of the essential places to visit in the city of Turia. It is a unique and unique museum in the world, since its collections of pardoned ninots, created to be grass of the flames, are chosen by popular vote and saved from the fire to be visited here. Also the Cartel de Fallas collection, signed by important and influential posters and the portraits gallery of Falleras Mayores de Valencia since 1995, surprise people who visit us every day. To fully understand the history of the ninots, we have available audio guides for sale in five languages (Spanish, Valencian, English, French and Italian) at the price of 1 euro. They work using QR code or link to web page on mobile or tablet.

The decision was made to cancel the Fallas shortly after I returned home last year and I guess it was cancelled again this year too. When I viisted the preparations were nevertheless in full swing with the daily fireworks from outside the City Hall - great fun to watch but very noisy! Knowing that I would not be able to see the real thing a visit to this small musuem was therefore a must. It's a stonesthrow from the City of Arts and Sciences so easy to combine with a day here and well worth the effort. Set over several floors it basically tells the story of the Fallas - how it all began and has developed since, with some fine examples of some of the smaller figures. Of course the larger ones are almost as tall as the building that houses the Museum. The artistry that goes into creating these things though is just so well, artistic and creative. There isn't another way to describe it. The expressions on the faces of the figures are very cartoon like and are obviously very tongue in cheek, designed to poke fun at celebrities and politicians alike - I think we need a Fallas in London. Imagine a giant Boris Johnson towering over the streets!

Central Market of Valencia is definitely worth a visit, if only to walk through the beautiful stained-glass building and stroll through stalls of fresh vegatables, fruit, meat, the best seranno ham, fish, fruit, coffee, chocolat and other treats. If you're staying in Valencia for a while, skip the supermarkets and buy your fresh food at this market.
