Spain's third-largest city is one that looks to the future as well as the past. From its sizable old town to its futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, it is brimming with heritage and culture, as you'll discover during this full day excursion.
We'll explore the old town and see some of its most emblematic sights. Admire the eclectic cathedral, elegant palaces and the modernist Central Market as well as the nearby Silk Exchange – a Gothic masterpiece that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll visit the museum dedicated to the Fallas, Valencia's most important festival. Every year gigantic papier mâché figures are burned in spectacular bonfires.
Then it's on to the baroque Palace of the Marquis of Dos Aguas to see its ceramics collection. Next, it's time to travel to the future at the glistening City of Arts and Sciences. This vast complex of themed buildings features a dozen extravagantly designed structures. There are botanic gardens, an aquarium and much more.
