Valencia equals commerce, culture, cinema, theatre, museums, music, and business. It is a place for international and avant-garde design and one of the most attractive European cities for fairs and conventions.
When walking through the streets of Valencia, the traveller can feel the beat of many centuries; from the remains of the Roman Forum, founded by Junius Brutus on the site of today's Plaza de la Virgen, giving rise to Valencia, to the emblematic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of the Arts and Sciences). Valencia has transformed its layout, while preserving monuments that are a living testimony of bygone periods.
Valencia has been the Spanish gateway to the Mediterranean, with the special charm that seaport cities have. The fine sand and crystal waters, the vastness of the open sea, and the proximity of the coastal mountain range gives the Valencian coast a unique appeal.
In the spur of the old riverbed is one of the most symbolic areas of Valencia: the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (City of the Arts and Sciences). This complex, of surprising size and design, has a 3D Cinema-Planetarium called L’Hemisfèric; an interactive science museum, the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum. It also hosts the biggest aquarium in Europe called L’Oceanogràfic.
