Must visit in Valencia: Summary of see & do<\/h4>\n

(Scroll down for restaurant recommendations\ud83e\uddaa)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is a summary of our recent family trip to Valencia. It was our second time visiting this colorful city because it is a perfect destination for traveling with kids. The third largest in Spain, Valencia\u00a0is a vibrant city with a rich history and offers lots of fun things to do to create lasting memories with the family. Also, the weather is beautiful even in winter!<\/p>\n

Here is a summary of what not to miss when visiting Valencia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias<\/p>\n

One of the 12 treasures of Spain. It\u2019s great for exploring by foot or by bicycle. Also, the area around is a favorite place to many for picnics and weekend activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Museu de les Ci\u00e8ncies Pr\u00edncipe Felipe (Science museum )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Oceanographic
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The largest aquarium in Europe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Must see:\u00a0<\/span>The Jellyfish Exhibition<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s best to purchase the tickets in advance online and combine Oceanografic + Science Museum+ Hemispheric<\/a>, however, make sure to be there as early as possible, to have enough time to cover it all.<\/p>\n

The combined ticket does not include \u00a04D cinema in Oceanografic, as well as, the ticket for the space simulator in the museum, which is a fun thing to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Bioparc Valencia<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visiting “Africa in Valencia” is exciting every time. This is a truly fascinating park with many causes for preserving different species.<\/p>\n

Must see:\u00a0<\/span>The baby chimpanzee<\/a>, born about 2 weeks ago.<\/p>\n

According to their website, there is a promotional price for the tickets in February 2024 for the 16th Anniversary of the park. The ticket is just 20 euros + 1 euro (for Fondacion Bioparc ) if you buy online at least 24 hours in advance. The regular price for adults is 26.90 and for children is 21 euro.<\/em><\/p>\n

Must see: Makena, the baby elephant (just recently celebrated 1 year’s Birthday) born in the park.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bioparc<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Playa de la Malva-rosa<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The famous Valencia beach is a 1 km long golden sand city beach with a stunning palm tree promenade. There is convenient transportation, restaurants, and shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a regular sight to see people swimming and sunbathing even in January, which is considered the coldest month!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccd Gulliver Park\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantasy park where children climb & slide on a massive play structure of the character Gulliver. Located in Jard\u00edn del Turia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The park is free, however, there\u2019s opening hours 10 am- 5:30 pm and also there is a limit of people accepted on the structure. Weekends are busier than weekdays, of course.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccdBicycle ride along Jard\u00edn del Turia<\/p>\n

The Turia Park is 9 km long and I can hardly imagine a better place for all your sports and leisure activities with the kids. The former riverbed is crossed by 18 beautiful bridges.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccdMercado Central<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The largest fresh produce market in Europe. With all the beautiful ornaments, colorfully displayed food, and Meditteranean smell you can easily fall in love with it. When I went there back in 2016, I thought it was a tourist place only, but this time I realized many locals are shopping there and buying everyday groceries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s closed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Must try: Oysters fresh from the market<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccdTorres del Serrans<\/p>\n

Valencia\u2019s medieval wall. Beautiful gothic architecture and rich history. It\u2019s worth climbing up the stairs for the view. (We left that for the next time)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccdCiutat Vella<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>One of the largest historic centers in Europe and Unesco World Heritage.<\/p>\n

Must See:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plaza de la Reina<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plaza de la Virgen<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plaza del Mercado<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

San Nicol\u00e1s, La “Capilla Sixtina valenciana\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plaza del Ayuntamiento<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccdDDL Boutique – Coffee\/ Breakfast\/Brunch<\/p>\n

Casa Carmela – Best paella (reservations required)<\/p>\n

Bar & Kitchen – Breakfast\/ Bruch & Dinner<\/p>\n

San Tammmaso-\u00a0 <\/span>Italian Restaurant – cheese & cold cuts platter is fabulous. Excellent pizzas!<\/p>\n

La Pappardella Italian Restaurant – PAPPARDELLE TARTUFO is a must try. They prepare it in the Parmesano Reggiano wheel (D.O.P 18 months) and it has a generous amount of truffle shaving.<\/p>\n

For anyone interested, I can share the full list of restaurants given to me by our hotel.<\/em>\ud83d\udcdc<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The list of places could extend a lot further, but what we loved and enjoyed the most is that the city is\u00a0very walkable and perfect for sports and leisure activities!<\/p>\n
