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.

Valencia gets more than 300 days of sunshine a year and has a mild winter with little rain – basically the sunny Spanish holiday destination of our dreams. It’s impossible not to be in a good mood here, especially when sitting in the shade of palm trees under clear blue skies.

Valencia’s atmospheric Old Town is packed with street art, cafés and amazing architecture. Though home to many of Valencia’s most famous attractions, such as the Cathedral and La Lonja de la Seda, it’s also fun for exploring lesser-known sights. Wander the maze-like cobbled alleys and backstreets to escape the tourist trail (it’s completely safe to do so), and you’ll find pretty squares, tiny churches, street art and quirky cafés.

Valencia also has several beaches, including some within nearby Albufera Park, a wetlands reserve with a lake and walking trails.

Though probably most famous for its ultra-modern City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia is a treasure trove for lovers of old and new architecture. It has remains of both its Roman foundations and its Moorish history to explore.

Valencia is worth visiting for at least 2 nights. One day you can see the City of Arts and Sciences, and the other day you can see the sights such as the Cathedral.

Valencia is a Mediterranean city and it gets its share of petty crime. However, violence is extremely rare in Valencia. Generally, Valencia is a very safe city, surprisingly so - for its size. Even the petty crime is low.

Beach holiday Valencia. Valencia is an absolutely enchanting city and should be high on the hit list of European metropolises. But that is perhaps also the great happiness of this Mediterranean port city - most city travelers are drawn to Barcelona, Madrid or Malaga. Valencia is an ideal blend of culture and beach.

Torres de Serranos or Serrano Tower is a twin tower which is also the most important part of this city of Valencia. This tower has an important historical story. Because in the past, its function was as the main gate. This tower has long been the gateway to Valencia, especially for people who come from the direction of the mountains. The tower is also the city's fortress gate which is still around today. The fort in Valencia itself actually has 12 gates. But in 1865, the fort had collapsed and was destroyed. Meanwhile Torres de Serranos is one of the fort's remaining entrances. This gate is one of the largest gates and has a typical medieval gothic feel.

The next tourist spot in Valencia that still keeps historical remains in this city is the Torres de Quart. The Quart Tower is also one of the historical remains that still exists today. This tower is both a fortress and a fortress gate, just like the Serranos Tower. The Quart Tower has a gothic military style. In 1931, the Quart Tower was designated a National Monument. This building was a silent witness in various battles in the past and became the protector of the city of Valencia itself. Tourists can walk around this place and see some traces of past battles. As there are several holes in the front of the tower. These holes were formed as a result of the weapons used during the battle against France, when Napoleon wanted to attack him.

In a beautiful seaside atmosphere, this cozy Mediterranean port city lives up to the local saying "a piece of heaven falls to earth." Under the warm sunshine of the southern sun, the town square surrounded by palm trees is full of life, and the churches are sparkling with brightly colored azulejo domes.

As the old capital of the kingdom of Valencia, the city is rich in cultural heritage. Magnificent historical monuments, such as the 15th-century Silk Exchange, the 18th-century Marquise Palace, and the Museum of Fine Arts, tell the story of a wealthy merchant and aristocratic past. But Valencia has entered the 21st century with enthusiasm. The sleek Institute of Modern Art, along with the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences immerse visitors into a brave new world of artistic and scientific discoveries.
