Know before you go

Valencia in all its chromatic splendor: from the greenery of Parc Central and the Turia Gardens, through the minimalist white of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Valencian orange groves, to the colorful houses of El Cabañal. End with the blue of the Mediterranean and a toast at the most popular beachfront chiringuito.
Park Central is a green space transformed from former railway yards. Opened to the public in the early 2000s, the park is a place of recreation and relaxation for locals and visitors, reflecting Valencia's commitment to sustainability and green urban planning.
Puente del Reino is an important historical landmark built in 1591 to connect the center of Valencia with the surrounding areas. Designed by architect Pedro Juan Ribera, the bridge symbolizes the prosperity and civic pride of 16th-century Valencia.
Architectural complex designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, composed of several futuristic buildings:
- L'Hemisfèric: IMAX cinema and planetarium in the shape of a giant eye.
- Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe: interactive science museum.
- L'Umbracle: landscape garden and open-air art gallery.
- Oceanogràfic: the largest aquarium in Europe.

Hospital de la Malvarrosa: founded in the 15th century, the Malvarrosa Hospital provided care to abandoned and poor children. Over time, it expanded to include medical treatment. Although it no longer functions as a hospital, it remains a reminder of Valencia's commitment to social well-being.
