A compact historic core where you can visit the Cathedral (home to a revered Holy Grail), climb the Miguelete bell tower for panoramic views and explore La Lonja de la Seda, a late-Gothic silk exchange and UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tip: Best enjoyed on foot in the late afternoon or evening, when terraces and plazas are busiest.
Mercado Central
A grand modernist food market with hundreds of stalls offering fresh produce, cheeses, cured meats, seafood and Valencian specialties, all under a colourful iron-and-glass roof.
Tip: Go in the morning for peak activity and grab a quick snack or fresh juice between sessions.
Jardín del Turia
A former riverbed turned into a 9-km green corridor of lawns, trees, playgrounds and paths linking major sights such as the City of Arts and Sciences and the Bioparc.

Barrio de Ruzafa
A colourful, bohemian neighbourhood packed with cafés, independent boutiques, galleries and restaurants, known for its creative scene and lively nightlife.
