1. 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.

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.

8. Cabo Roig Beach

Reviewed By Joanne220279
We parked near the steps / slope down to the beach which is very clean and a sun trap (great for sun bathing). The beach is sheltered with a warm sea and is very flat with all amenities including a well stocked bar (reasonably priced and has live music on Sunday afternoons) There is also a walk to the harbour and the restaurant which over looks the coast. After the slow walk back to the car we decided to go to the Lucky Lion at Lomas de Cabo Roig for a cooked breakfast. The breakfast is fantastic value for money costing only €3.50 for what I would describe as a large breakfast. The breakfast was perfectly cooked and the staff were very attentive. Both the beach and the Lucky Lion are definitely worth a visit.
