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.

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.
3. 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!
4. Plaza del Ayuntamiento
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,028 reviews
The palatial Ayuntamiento (Town Hall) of Valencia dominates the square, and its bells chime out the hours. Surrounding the plaza are other buildings from the city's golden age, such as the Correos (the main post office). In the center of the plaza, a fountain is surrounded by flower stalls with all the colors, sizes, varieties imagineable. This is a good starting point from which to visit Valencia's old quarter or today's most fashionable shops.

My favourite part of VLC. The city hall and surrounding buildings are just beautiful and a real city feature. Lots of paces to stop and refresh and watch the world pass you by. A great place to visit and viewing is free. Check out the square as there are often events and festivals/fiestas there too.

This is effectively the ex river bed now extensive and delightful park area which has been shaped and honed so that it has something for everyone in terms of sports facilities, water features, floral displays, natural tree shade, walking / cycling paths/routes etc. You can stroll around any part of this city park and enjoy it and/or just sit a while and read a book. Colourful and cared for it never disappoints and is well worth a visit !!

An amazing park feature, but not sure what to call it, a vast climbing frame with slides are other things to do on it, like a huge sculpture/fallen statue of Gulliver.

I spent the afternoon out here at the lakes of Albufera and had a really good time as the sunset over the water. I found some funky bars by the water after the sun had set and ended up having the best night with some locals. The walks about the lakes are great for nature lovers and just for a bit of peace and quiet also.

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.
9. Plaza del Mercado (Placa del Mercat)

In this still bustling plaza you will find three of the must-visit buildings in the city, including the Mercat Central.
Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
This big open plaza takes its name of course from the indoor market which is the centrepiece, flanked by marble steps and with a huge array of all kinds of delicious things to consume. The Valencia card entitles you to a free drink and tapas from a variety of different sellers - choose which one appeals to you the most, there are several avaialble. The plaza itself is busy and bustling as you would expect - close to both the tourist district in the old part of town and the more modern part of the city towards the main railway station. A great place for getting to know the city and for people watching.
