Architecture lovers won't want to miss the 13th-century Valencia Cathedral or the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, while travelers eager to explore the city's nightlife will love the bohemian Carmen neighborhood. Head to the art nouveau Central Market to shop for fresh fruit, veggies, and fish, or stop at La Lonja, a silk exchange that dates back to the 15th-century. For travelers in town with kids, don't miss the Oceanografic aquarium, or the animals at the Bioparc. Cap your day with a swim at the beach, or a glass of Spanish wine at your Valencia vacation rental.
Much like Barcelona, Valencia is known for its lively festival scene, with regular parades that close down the city's streets and turn the entire place into one giant party. One of the most famous is La Tomatina, an annual tomato battle, where people flock the streets to hurl tomatoes at one another. But there are more ways to celebrate the local food scene. Take a food tour of the city, nabbing recs from a local who knows, or book a cooking class where you learn how to make the local signature dish—paella.
Summers in Valencia, and especially June and July, are the most popular time to visit, thanks to plenty of beaches to combat the heat. Keep in mind that, like much of Spain, the city empties out in August, and many places close for the month. Spring and fall are particularly vibrant in Valencia, with warm temps and an influx in cultural events to keep your whole crew occupied. Winters in Valencia are mild, meaning many of the city's outdoor dining terraces stay open during the day, even in January and February.
Set on the Mediterranean, Valencia is bordered by Catalonia to the north and Murcia to the south. Running the length of the city is the Jardins de Turia, an urban park set in the former Turia riverbed. Here, you'll share the trails with other naturelovers, hikers, and cyclists, passing fields of flowers, lush trees, and fountains. If you tire of the urban jungle surrounding your Valencia vacation rental, head for the hills, er, mountains. There's plenty of hiking, birdwatching, and exploring to be found in the nearby ranges that serve as Valencia's backdrop.
Fly into Valencia (VLC), the closest airport, located 5.3 mi (8.6 km) from the city center.
