• When they stop in Valencia, cruise passengers or even some others have many things to see but not enough time! You will be able to cover only the Highlights of Valencia for 4 hours to get an overview. You can cover the 2 most important sightseeing areas in town: The City of Arts and Sciences and the Historical center.
