12 Reviews Lake Albufera is only 12k's south of the city. Lake Albufera is huge. It spans about 27sq kms and is very shallow - about 1.5m deep. It is a national park and surrounded by wetlands with about 250 different bird species. It is definately worth visiting. MaheshSamtani kindly offered to take us and...
Twan Says: La Lonja de la Seda is the fifteenth-century Silk Exchange of Valencia, located on the Plaza del Mercado. In 1996 UNESCO placed the Lonja de la Seda on the World Heritage List, partly because this building demonstrates the power and wealth of the merchants in the...

Red Hop on Hop off Tourist Bus Valencia
aussirose Says: Another 'must do' tip. The Hop on Hop off Tourist Bus in Valencia is great! It's a cheap way to get around and also if you stay near the beach like we did, the bus goes right by there as well. We certainly got our money's worth. Plus I would advise that you stay at least 2...

La Taberna de la Reina.: A tapas bar.
Maurizioago Says: La Taberna de la Reina is a good place to have some tapas in the city center. They have a large array of tapas into a closed transparent box. The tapas they had when I was there are called "pinchos". They are made with a small slice of bread with a topping. You can choose a...
Horchateria Daniel.: If not for horchata; go there for the cakes!

Maurizioago Says: You can find a tourist bus in lots of cities. These are buses that stop near the main sights. So you can get off, see the sigh, explore the area and take another similar bus. It is a good way to get to know the place if you can't spend much time there. The Valencia tourist...
Maurizioago Says: The metro in Valencia has five lines; including two tram lines (tranvia). Unfortunately there aren't any metro stations in the old city core. So if you are going there you have better go out at Colon metro stop; then walk for around 15 minutes to Plaza de la Reina. This is...
Mercado central.: Visit the covered market.
Maurizioago Says: This is one of the oldest markets in Europe. It was built in modernist style in 1928. It is a very large structure made of glass and iron. Here there are around 1000 stalls.This market is opened from monday to saturday; from 7.30 a. m. to 2.30 p. m. Here you can buy fruits...
PALLINA Says: I entered the shop because of the lovely architecture but I got immediately impressed by the outstanding style of the clothes. Very colourful, original and somehow new. I bought a very nice dress, but they have also some jewels and bags.
aussirose Says: In Australia we recognise this warning. It's usually due to sharks or Crocodiles.Here in Valencia it is due to tampons. .... and other pollution. Hubby and I enjoyed our swim....that is until we both spotted it floating by. Err!! Gross!So, my advice to you is to swim at your...
Maurizioago Says: Lots of VTers will disagree with me...I didn't find interesting this very old building. This was the stock silk exchange. It was built between 1482 and 1533. It is made of three rooms almost empty and a beautiful small garden. You can spend your time in the small garden...
Maurizioago Says: This small square was built in 1840. Plaza Redonda literally means "round square". It is made of curved buildings joined together. So that the whole place is round.At plaza Redonda you can find several shops where you can buy a souvenir or a small pet; a bird, a rabbit and...
MaheshSamtani Says: The MESTALLA stadium is home to the Valencia Football club team. This is a legendary stadium that has lived many important games with mythical players and probabably all the important teams of Europe have in some occasion or other, in some competition or friendly matches...
Maurizioago Says: The Turia River that flew through the city used to flood regularly. It was diverted south of the city after a terrible flooding happened in 1957. Later it was decided to transform its bed into a park. The Turia Gardens are practically a large and long (c.ca 9 km) park that...
