Description

Enjoy a private 4-hour shore excursion of Valencia, tailored and organized to your personal preferences. The tour covers the 2 most important areas of the city, and can be adjusted by schedule, duration, and/or activities.
The main highlights include Santiago Calatrava’s stunning architecture in the City of Arts and Sciences (Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències), built on reclaimed land from the former riverbed of the River Turia.
Inaugurated in 1998, the project’s completion catapulted Valencia onto the world stage, for its avant garde constructions, such as the L'Hemisfèric, wave-like L'Oceanogràfic, and covered plaza and sporting venue of the L'Àgora.
By contrast, the sights in Valencia’s medieval heart reveal a city of antique charm. The unusual Cathedral contains Moorish elements, while the neighboring Basílica is Gothic in form. Discover the heart of the original city at the Plaza de la Virgen, and marvel at the circular Plaza Redonda.
You can also explore the Central Market, with the opportunity to taste local produce, and see the old silk exchange market of La Lonja, and the Serrano Towers, part of the old city walls.
