General Information
Valencia Cathedral and the Miguelete Tower
Few cities are, like Valencia, able to combine so harmoniously remains from remote periods, as far away as 138 B.C., with the most modern, avant-garde buildings to be erected in the new millennium.

Valencia equals commerce, culture, cinema, theatre, museums, music, business. It is a place for international and avant-garde design and one of the most attractive cities in Europe when it comes to fairs and conventions.

Thanks to its location, 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 lend the Valencian coast a unique appeal.

La Malvarrosa beach

There are outstanding beaches and dunes at Canet d’En Berenguer, where the coastline becomes leisurely and residential, as it does to the north of the Valencian capital, where small tourist town (La Pobla de Farnals, Alboraya, and El Puig) have emerged where only a few years ago fruit and vegetables were grown.

In addition, still within the city of Valencia, the beaches of La Malvarrosa and Levante offer a wide variety of places to dine and enjoy a quiet evening by the sea. To the south, nature becomes predominant at Saler Beach and in the L’Albufera Nature Reserve, where the sun can be enjoyed in unique surroundings. The beaches of Cullera, Gandía and Oliva combine beautiful landscapes with a number of sporting and recreational facilities.

Interesting routes await you inland, such as the one defined by the course of the Turia River, or charming towns like Buñol, Requena and Xátiva.

Art and Culture
From the Roman Forum to the City of Arts and Sciences
When walking through the streets of Valencia, the traveller can feel, among its walls and under the pavement, 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 Valentia, 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.
Children
A city that thinks of children
Valencia offers a wide variety of activities geared to youngsters. All around the city, a number of gardens grace the urban landscape and function as recreational areas.
Congresses and Business
A meeting point for big professional events
Valencia has become an outstanding convention centre for the whole of Europe, and a first-class meeting place for those who wish to expand their business, or take part in conferences and trade fairs.
Food and Wine
Tastes of the gardens and the sea
Paella is Valencia's typical dish and the most widely known of all Spanish cuisine.
Shopping
Inside the Colón Market, now a shopping centre
The streets of Valencia are filled with shop windows exhibiting everything from hand made arts and crafts to the latest fashion designs. Fans, lace work, Manises ceramics and clothes are just some of the things you can buy in Valencia.
Sport and Nature
Endless possibilities on the shores of the Mediterranenan
The mild temperatures of the Mediterranean coast encourage the practice of outdoor sports all year round. The Valencian capital has many sporting facilities for keeping in shape, such as the Turia Riverbed Gardens.
Youth
A wide range of festivals, concerts, and events all year round
Valencia offers all kinds of leisure and fun alternatives for young people. The Fallas includes a calendar of events especially geared to the younger crowd, such as the night-time concerts in the Viveros Gardens.
