We can find inside the city diverse gardens to have a nice and pleasant walk. For example:
Antiguo Cauce del Río Turia The Old Turia Riverbed
Now converted into a garden running through the city, the old Turia riverbed is a centre for culture and leisure. There are sports facilities and recreation areas for children, particularly the Gulliver adventure park, with its immense Gulliver statue on which children can play and romp, now a tourist symbol of the city. On the east bank of the riverbed Stands the Palau de la Música , one of the city's outstanding cultural centres.
Jardines del Real / Viveros Municipales Royal Gardens or Municipal Gardens
