Valencia

Valencia is one of Spain’s most famous tourist destinations, and with good reason. Valencia tourism offers travelers everything from authentic paella to world-class museums and sandy Mediterranean beaches. To visit Valencia is to discover the best of the Spanish Mediterranean coast. While the months of July and August perhaps promise the most sun, they’re also the most crowded so it’s best to plan your Valencia holidays for the late spring or early fall months.


The top stop during many holidays to Valencia is the Malvarrosa beach, a large sandy stretch of coast not far from the downtown area and the port. It’s a popular spot among tourists and locals alike and the beach is lined with a pleasant promenade and many good restaurants. After all, no holidays in Valencia are complete without savoring an authentic paella near the water!

If your Valencia holiday is with kids, don’t miss a day at the City of Arts & Sciences, a large, futuristic complex of world-class museums, science exhibits, and one of the Europe’s best aquariums. Or, spend your holiday in Valencia exploring the historic cathedrals, palaces, and medieval city wall of the historic downtown area.

One of the best things you can do during your holiday to Valencia is rent a car and visit the La Albufeia natural park just outside the city. This coastal wetland is home to virgin beaches, migrating birds, and perhaps the prettiest sunset in the region. Inspired to take a Valencia trip?
