The Spanish city of Valencia is becoming increasingly popular as a city trip destination. This is not only due to the fact that it is Spain’s third largest city. In fact, Valencia now offers direct links with the Zaventem and Amsterdam airports. A very smart decision on the part of the city and the airline companies. Valencia has plenty to offer to tourists. The old city centre is criss-crossed by narrow alleyways and people can enjoy walking here for hours. Not only is the city atmosphere extremely captivating, but its architecture is fascinating too. The new project ‘City of Art and Science’ is the highlight of modern architecture. For more information, please refer to the page ‘Tourist Attractions’.
Valencia is certainly not lacking in tourist attractions. Besides the magnificent cathedral, there are museums galore, including the Museum for Fine Arts which is ranked as one of the best in Spain. The old city centre features many beautiful buildings. However, most of those palaces are not open to the public, but you are allowed to catch a glimpse of their inner gardens. Spanish people know how to party, and Las Fallas is the festival of Valencia and also one of the largest in Spain. A large city like Valencia also offers plenty of opportunities to shop. As soon as you find out that Valencia enjoys sunshine for more than 300 days a year, nothing will probably hold you back from travelling to this city.
