What to do and see in Sant Francesc, Valencian Country: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

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.

Definitely worthwhile - free to enter, allows access to some grand rooms as well as a balcony that overlooks the main square.

Had to go to the Central Post Office on the town square, Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Like all the other government buildings on the main square, the Post Office didn't disappoint. The interior is stunning. I actually wanted to mail some post cards and needed stamps. If this is your first time using the postal system, be aware you need to take a number when you walk in. Then sit on a bench, enjoy the beauty of the building and listen for your number to be called (in Spanish). They move quickly, so don't dawdle getting to the window.
