More than 500 monuments made of paper-mache burn among fireworks displays.
Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias
This futuristic building has become the emblem of Valencia. Designed by the local architect Santiago Calatrava, it hosts an opera house, planetarium, botanical garden and Europe´s biggest marine park. It is devoted to scientific and cultural dissemination. A definite must-see for anyone visiting Valencia.
La Lonja de la Seda
This splendid building built in the 15th century is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Originally Valencia’s silk and commodity exchange, it is one of Spain's finest examples of a civil Gothic building.
Parque Natural de la Albufera
Lying to the south of the city of Valencia, the Albufera freshwater lagoon is one of the most important nature areas in the Land of Valencia. The natural life of the lake coexists in harmony with traces of agricultural, fishing and culinary traditions and unique way of life as represented by the local barraca houses.
L'Oceanogràfic
Spain's most famous aquarium is housed within the City of Arts & Sciences. An impressive park where you will be able to view beautiful tanks full of life and species from the Mediterranean, Red Sea and tropical waters. The sharks are a favorite, and so are the dolphins and a beluga whale.
Museo Fallero
The world-famous Fallas Fiestas take place mid-March. Fireworks, music, festive bonfires and all-night partying – is a must if you’re visiting Spain during that period. The Fallas themselves are huge sculptures of papier mâché on wood built by local artists. If you cannot come to Valencia during the Fallas period, we recommend you visit the museum dedicated to them.
